Getting A Home Loan As An Australian Expat Is Different
Many Australians living and working overseas wish to buy property in Australia for a variety of reasons: getting on the property ladder, purchasing a future home, or building an investment portfolio for the future.
But unfortunately, the average Australian bank or broker isn’t set up to make life easy for expat property purchasers.
- Due to time differences, they are often difficult to contact.
- They may be unfamiliar with special expat policies.
- It’s harder to move forward in a timely fashion.
That’s where we can help…

What Others Are Saying About Brighter Finance
"Marcus guided us through the process expertly, and was always on hand"
Marcus helped us secure our mortgage for our first property in Australia. He was fantastic throughout. As first time buyers he guided us through the process expertly, and was always on hand to answer any and all our questions. We frequently changed our minds in the early stages of the mortgage process, but Marcus always dealt with these changes promptly. I would highly recommend Marcus as a mortgage advisor and will be using in in the future for any mortgage applications and reviews we carry out.
"Marcus went above and beyond"
Marcus went above and beyond to find us the right mortgage provider, offering any assistance we needed. He was even able to go back and get a generous rate discount after the initial offer. You won’t find another more helpful and trustworthy mortgage broker. Highly recommended!
"Can confidently recommend!"
Marcus explained in simple language my home loan options. Very happy with the service and can confidently recommend!
"Marcus took to explain everything in the simple terms"
Marcus was a great help right from the start at our first meeting it was apparent that Marcus acted in the clients best interest & his advise was based on that and not selling a service. Your first mortgage can be quite daunting and that was all mitigated with the time he took to explain everything in the simple terms that helped me take all the information in. If I ever need another Mortgage or when I require a re-finance Marcus will be the first phone call.
