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 Richmond?

Yes. John refinances loans for Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond 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 Richmond?

Yes. If your Richmond 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.

Is it worth refinancing for a 0.25% rate cut?

Often, yes, on larger balances. A 0.25% cut on a $600,000 loan saves about $91 a month, roughly $1,095 a year, which typically repays switching costs inside a year. Below that, the case depends on your balance, remaining term and fees; John runs the break-even numbers for you for free.
