We're a Sunshine Coast-based mortgage and finance brokerage led by Kristie Waite. We compare loans across 50+ lenders to match you with the right home loan, refinance, personal loan, business loan or investment finance — rather than pushing you toward one bank's product.
No. We're independent mortgage brokers. Because we're not tied to one lender, we can compare offers across our panel of banks and funders and recommend what genuinely suits your situation.
We're based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, but we work with clients across Australia — most of the process (consultations, paperwork, approvals) can be handled remotely by phone or video.
In most cases our service is free to you — we're paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles, not by you. We'll always be upfront about how we're paid before you go ahead.
Get in touch via our contact page or call 0428 134 913 to book a consultation. From there we'll walk you through our four-step process: Consultation, Comparison, Application, and Approval to Settlement.
Start with a consultation. We'll look at your income, savings, deposit, and goals, explain the loan options available to you (including any first home buyer schemes or grants you may be eligible for), and shortlist lenders that suit your situation.
Yes. Whether you're moving to a bigger family home or scaling back, we compare lenders to find a loan structure that fits your next move, including how to manage timing between selling and buying.
We compare over 50 lenders, so you're not limited to what one bank can offer.
Timeframes vary depending on the lender and your circumstances, but our process is designed to be efficient: we prepare your application to align with the lender's policy upfront, which helps avoid delays and back-and-forth.
It's not always just about chasing a lower rate. We look at your full picture — repayment structure, fees, features, and your current goals — to see whether refinancing will actually save you money or better suit your needs.
Yes, debt consolidation is one of the refinancing options we help clients with, rolling multiple debts into a more manageable structure where appropriate.
Equity release lets you access the equity built up in your current property, which can sometimes be used toward a deposit on an investment purchase without needing extra cash upfront. We can talk you through whether this suits your situation.
Absolutely — getting started is easier than most people think. We'll help you understand your borrowing capacity, structure your loan, and identify options suited to growth or yield depending on your goals.
Yes, we break down these strategies in plain English as part of our investment portfolio guidance, so you understand how they might apply to your situation.
Yes, we help clients understand where to start with SMSF lending as part of building an investment portfolio.
Common uses include buying a car, funding renovations, or covering a holiday. We compare lenders to find competitive rates and repayment terms that suit your budget.
We aim for fast approval by matching you with lenders suited to your circumstances — turnaround depends on the lender and your documentation, but we handle the process to keep things moving quickly.
Yes — that's exactly the idea. We manage the finance side (equipment loans, working capital, funding to scale) so you can stay on the tools.
We help with equipment finance, working capital, and funding solutions to help businesses grow, alongside standard commercial loans.
You'll work directly with Kristie Waite, Managing Director and mortgage broker, who brings senior management experience from national companies along with hands-on, local broking expertise.
Yes — that's a big part of how Kristie works. She takes the time to break down the lingo and walk you through each step, so you understand your options rather than just signing where told.
No — we work with clients who fall outside standard lending criteria too, tailoring solutions where circumstances differ from the norm.
Not necessarily — we'll guide you on what documentation is needed once we understand your situation. The first step is simply having a conversation about your goals.
