Do you remember that TV advert: nine out of 10 dentists recommend using Colgate? It turns out that mortgage brokers have earned a similar level of trust when it comes to helping first home buyers get into the property market. This is because nine out of 10 first home buyers (FBHs) recently said they trust a mortgage broker to help them buy their first home.
Why Do so Many First Home Buyers Trust Mortgage Brokers?
The Genworth First Home Buyer Report 2021 surveyed 2,077 prospective FHBs and 1,0008 recent FHBs, and they were very happy with the results.
Here is what one respondent said: “Go and see a professional mortgage broker in-person, early on in the process. That way they know your situation and are able to best guide you through and help you out,” the 32-year-old recent FHB from WA said. And he wasn’t alone.
Almost nine in 10 FHBs believe that mortgage brokers help cut through the complexity of the home buying process. The report also found a similar proportion of FHBs believe mortgage brokers provide reliable and trusted advice, information, and support.
In a nutshell:
Trusted = tick
Jargon busters = tick
Reliable advice and information = tick
Valuable support = tick
How can We Help You Buy Your First Home?
The property market has picked up over the past 12 months which has left a lot of prospective first home buyers frustrated that the suburbs they were once focusing on, now moving out of their price range.
But there are a number of Federal Government schemes available to FHBs, including the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme – which can allow you to buy your first home with a deposit of just 5% without paying for Lenders Mortgage Insurance. There is also a range of State and Territory Government schemes designed to help FHBs get into the property market, including first home buyer grants and stamp duty concessions.
