This year at SW Brokerage, our focus has been on helping clients navigate some scary unknown times. Since May of 2022, Australian borrowers have gone through 13 rate rises by the RBA and high inflation. For the average borrower with a $500,000 mortgage, the cash rate rises have meant an additional $1210 since rate rises began in May last year.
With this in mind, SW Brokerage has focused on the basics, helping over 400 clients free up their cash flow, consolidate their debt, negotiate better rates, and refinance their loans.
We’ve added several lenders to our panel and now have over 60 lenders to choose from, allowing us to offer our clients options best suited to their circumstances.
We’ve helped our clients:
– secure new home loans,
– refinance their existing home loan,
– negotiate a better rate with their bank,
– consolidate their debt,
– secure loans for renovations or home improvement projects,
– secure personal loans for car purchases and more,
– and purchase investment property loans.
Refinancing and reviewing client loans was one of our biggest focuses this year:
Over the past 12 months, we took the time to review our client’s loans and speak to their existing bank about reviewing their home loan rate before refinancing. By doing this, we saved our clients a collective $525,000 in interest alone. That’s the SWB way! As we say, we’re good with numbers but we’re better with people.
At SW Brokerage we differentiate ourselves from other brokerage firms, by putting our clients first. From the moment we connect with our clients, we take the time to understand your goals and aspirations. We want to help you grow your wealth. That’s why we take the time to understand your needs, and then connect with our 60+ lenders to find you a loan suitable for you.
We don’t just pride ourselves on excellent service for our clients, but we also spend time looking for ways to educate and inform our clientele of opportunities and ways we can help them manage their finances and reach those goals.
This has been especially important in the past few years when mortgage stress has been on the rise. We know that many of our clients have struggled in the past couple of years to balance their finances, so we have spent time with our clients to ensure we are meeting them where they stand.
We have helped clients:
– manage their budgets,
– understand the impact of mortgage stress,
– shared tips on how to effectively navigate tough times,
– how to refinance to free up cash flow,
– how to purchase property with your super,
– and how to prepare for retirement in your 40s.
