We all know someone who bought their first home and then went, “Oh… I probably should’ve checked that.” Let’s avoid that.
Here are 5 rookie mistakes we help our clients dodge:
- Not getting pre-approved before house hunting. You need to know your budget before you fall in love with a property.
- Underestimating upfront costs. Stamp duty, legal fees, building inspections — it adds up fast.
- Not factoring in lifestyle expenses. Your loan needs to fit your life, not the other way around.
- Only talking to one lender. You could be missing out on better deals or features.
- Thinking the lowest interest rate = best loan. It’s not just about rates. Fees, features, and flexibility matter too.
We’re here to help you feel informed, prepared, and ready to make your move.
