As local Newsteadians, we love to support local businesses - who doesn’t?

Tune in today for our first episode featuring our very own Kade French from The Newstead Group!

This month on the Brisbane Broker Podcast, Bobby and Kade are delivering borker talk with the works!

It's been a little while since our brokers got into the nitty gritty of what's going on in the lending landscape. So we thought, there is no time like the present, because right now we're seeing LOTS of home loans due to settle in September. With this type of movement in the property space we're seeing movement in the finance world too! We're talking:

There's a whole lot more - but you'll have to tune in!

We also have some exciting news at The Newstead Group - we've just rebranded! Have you checked out our new website yet?

We're also excited to announce that we will be hosting a new series here on the Brisbane Broker Podcast interviewing local business owner's in the Newstead/Teneriffe area to learn about their journey in navigating business and finance. We can't wait to bring you our first episode next month!

On this episode of the Brisbane Broker Podcast, Bobby and Kade are joined by Ben and Cara Brett from Bounce Financial to unpack the misconceptions of financial planning!

Ben and Cara are financial advisers at Bounce Financial, working with their clients to develop a financial plan that addresses their investments, superannuation, insurance, tax and any other financial issues.

Like mortgage broking, financial planning has its fair share of misconceptions. You might have wondered, are financial planners only for rich people, or people who struggle with money? Are they paid a commission, or only trying to push their own "hot" product? Are financial advisors any different to accountants...? (gasps)

Ben and Cara are here to clear the air - and give you the run down on what financial planning is really all about. Tune in to unpack these misconceptions with the experts!

Bobby and Kade joined Ben and Cara on their podcast, Money Chats to discuss the misconceptions of mortgage broking which you can stream here!

Sound spicy? That's because it is!

On this episode of the Brisbane Broker Podcast, Kade and Bobby are serving pre-approval realness. We hope you're buckled in for some hot takes.

In recent years, the demand for pre-approvals has sky rocketed and we attribute this to increased competition in the home buying market. In some cases, you can't even inspect a property without a pre-approval, sort of goofy right?

So, let's get into it - what is a pre-approval; how does it work; when should you seek one; how long is it valid for? You name it, we're covering it. Oh and did we mention - we offer this service at The Newstead Group!

If you've got more pre-approval questions - send 'em our way. You can get in touch with our brokers ⁠via our website⁠ today!

Are you wondering whether you are ready to refinance? On this episode of the Brisbane Broker Podcast, Bobby and Kade are going to help you answer that question!

This month, our brokers are unpacking the basics of refinancing, including what refinancing is, what refinancing involves, and the reasons why you should (or shouldn't) refinance, depending on your scenario.

Our brokers can help you understand how competitive your interest rate is, and even negotiate your rate on your behalf with your bank. Other key considerations include your personal experience with your lender, as well as all of the extras like offset accounts or redraw facilities.

Listen in for some of our client scenarios that paint a picture of why and when to refinance depending on your circumstances!
