Depending on the postcode, Rhodes may qualify for a Tier-1 lender location LMI waiver. John can confirm eligibility for your specific address.
How long does approval take for a Rhodes property?
Pre-approval typically takes 2–5 business days. Formal approval after exchange is usually 5–15 business days. John expedites by ensuring documentation is complete and choosing the right lender for Rhodes properties from day one.
Is using a mortgage broker free?
Yes, 100% free. We're paid a commission by the lender when your loan settles. There are no upfront fees, no consultation fees, and no hidden charges. Under the Best Interests Duty, we're legally required to recommend the loan that's best for you.
Can I refinance my home loan in Rhodes?

Yes. John refinances loans for Rhodes homeowners regularly, comparing 50+ lenders to find a sharper rate, a cash-out, or both. The service is free because the lender pays on settlement, and everything is handled by phone or video at times that suit you.

How much could Rhodes homeowners save by refinancing?

It depends on your balance and current rate, but as a guide, a 0.50% rate cut on a $600,000 loan saves about $181 a month, roughly $2,175 a year. With Rhodes property values where they are, many owners also unlock equity at the same time. John runs your exact numbers for free.

Do you handle cash-out refinances in Rhodes?

Yes. If your Rhodes property has grown in value, a cash-out refinance can release equity for renovations, investing or consolidating debt, subject to lender assessment. John settled several large cash-out refinances across Sydney in 2026 and publishes anonymised examples on the settled deals page.

Does refinancing hurt your credit score?

A refinance adds one credit enquiry to your file, which has a small, short-lived effect. What damages a score is lodging many applications in quick succession. A broker avoids that by assessing your position first and applying to one well-matched lender.
