Real Clients. Real Results.

Nothing tells our story better than the results we achieve for our clients. Here are some of our favourite success stories.

First Home Buyer

Young Couple Buys First Home with 5% Deposit

Jake & Mia, Melbourne VIC

The Challenge

Jake and Mia had been saving for years but couldn't reach the 20% deposit "finish line" as property prices kept rising. They felt stuck in the rental cycle.

Our Solution

We assessed their eligibility for the First Home Guarantee and found they qualified. We matched them with a lender that accepted a 5% deposit with no LMI, and guided them through a first home owner grant application.

"We genuinely didn't think we could buy yet. MortgageBricks showed us we'd been overthinking the deposit requirement. We're in our home 4 months later."

The Outcomes

  • Purchased $720,000 home with $36,000 deposit
  • Saved $21,000 in LMI (avoided)
  • Received $10,000 First Home Owner Grant
  • Rate: 5.99% p.a. — below market average
  • Settlement completed in 6 weeks
Investment Portfolio

Investor Builds 3-Property Portfolio in 4 Years

David L., Sydney NSW

The Challenge

David owned one investment property but felt stuck — he believed he couldn't buy more without selling. His loans were with one bank, cross-collateralised, limiting his options.

Our Solution

We restructured David's existing loans to separate each property and release trapped equity. We then sourced two new investment loans — interest-only to maximise cash flow and deductions — with two different lenders to protect future borrowing capacity.

"MortgageBricks didn't just find me loans. They showed me how to build a portfolio properly. I now have a clear strategy for the next 10 years."

The Outcomes

  • Portfolio now 3 properties, combined value $2.1M
  • Monthly rental income: $4,800
  • Net LVR across portfolio: 64%
  • Interest-only periods maximising tax deductions
  • Equity available for 4th purchase: $180k
Refinancing

Family Refinances and Saves $12k Per Year

Anand & Shruti, Sydney NSW

The Challenge

Jennifer and Mark hadn't looked at their home loan in 5 years. Their bank had never proactively offered them a rate reduction. They assumed switching would be too complicated.

Our Solution

We reviewed their existing loan and compared it against 40+ lenders. We identified a lender offering 1% lower with a $3,000 cashback. We managed the entire discharge and application process — they didn't have to do anything.

"I cannot believe how simple it was. The whole process took 3 weeks and we didn't have to call the bank once. MortgageBricks handled everything."

The Outcomes

  • Rate reduced from 6.89% to 5.89%
  • Monthly saving: $617 per month
  • Annual saving: $7,404 per year
  • $3,000 cashback received at settlement
  • Added offset account — projecting extra $4,600/year in savings
Self-Employed

Self-Employed Builder Secures Home Loan After 2 Bank Rejections

Marcus W., Gold Coast QLD

The Challenge

Marcus had been self-employed for 3 years. Two banks had rejected his application because of how his income appeared on paper — high tax-deductible expenses made his taxable income look low.

Our Solution

We used alternative income verification (BAS statements and accountant letter) and approached specialist non-bank lenders who understand self-employed borrowers. We structured his application to highlight his actual cash flow.

"After being knocked back twice, I thought property ownership just wasn't for people like me. MortgageBricks proved that completely wrong."

The Outcomes

  • Full approval for $620,000 home loan
  • Settlement in 18 business days
  • Competitive rate with alt-doc product
  • Avoided the "big 4" bank trap entirely
  • Now eligible to refinance to major bank next year
