Frequently Asked Questions
What does a mortgage broker do?
A mortgage broker works on your behalf to find and secure the most suitable loan from a panel of lenders. Rather than going directly to one bank, Jacob compares options across 30+ lenders to find the right fit for your situation — at no cost to you, as brokers are paid by the lender.
How much can I borrow?
Your borrowing capacity depends on your income, expenses, existing debts, and the type of loan you're applying for. Jacob can run a quick assessment to give you a clear picture of where you stand before you start shopping for a property.
I'm a first home buyer — where do I start?
Start with a conversation. Jacob will walk you through your borrowing power, explain government grants and incentives available to first home buyers, and outline exactly what documents and steps are involved. There's no pressure — just clear guidance from day one.
Can you help if I'm self-employed?
Absolutely. Jacob has extensive experience with self-employed borrowers, including those with complex income structures. There are specialist lending products designed for business owners, and Jacob knows how to present your application in the strongest possible way.
What if I want to refinance my existing loan?
Refinancing can reduce your repayments, unlock equity, or give you access to better loan features. Jacob reviews your current loan against what's available in the market and will only recommend switching if there's a genuine benefit to you.
Do you help with investment property loans?
Yes. Jacob works with investors at all stages — from purchasing their first investment property to expanding an existing portfolio. He can help structure loans to maximise your borrowing capacity and align with your long-term wealth-building goals.
What about car, equipment, or business finance?
Port Finance handles much more than home loans. Jacob can assist with finance for vehicles, farm machinery, business equipment, commercial property, and business loans — all through the same trusted process.
How long does the loan process take?
Timelines vary depending on the lender and loan type, but Jacob will keep you informed at every stage. A pre-approval can typically be arranged within a few business days, with formal approval following once a property is selected.
Is there a cost to use a broker?
In most cases, there is no cost to you. Brokers are typically paid a commission by the lender once your loan settles. Jacob will always be transparent about how he's compensated and ensure any recommendation is in your best interest.
How do I get started?
Simply book a free lending planning session via Jacob's calendar, send him an email, or give him a call. There's no obligation — just a straightforward chat about your goals and how he can help.
