Here at the Newstead Group, we are not fans of the fear-mongering buzz words and click bait. But you know what we are fans of? Constructive insights that can help our clients and our listeners best navigate approaching the end of their fixed rate period.

Interest rates were at an all time low from the end of 2020 to the start of 2022, and now many Australians who took out a home loan during this time are finding themselves nearing the end of the low fixed interest rate period on their home loan.

Traversing new territory can be nerve-wracking, and that's why on this episode of the Brisbane Broker Podcast, Kade and Bobby are sitting down for a candid conversation on how to best navigate this space. When is the best time to refinance? If you refinance, should you opt for fixed or variable rates? When should you look at restructuring your budget, and what can the Newstead Group do for you to save you as much money as possible (hint - Piper the pricing whizz might have something to do with it).

Tune in to learn how not to fear although the fixed rate cliff may be near, and listen out to hear the winner of our $500 giveaway! (yes, you read that correctly).

On this episode of the Brisbane Broker Podcast, Kade and Bobby sit down with Jeff Jordan from Ethel & Florence Real Estate Agents to talk all things, you guessed it - real estate!

Jeff is a Licensed Sales Agent at Ethel & Florence with over 4 years of experience in the industry. Jeff is known as the Batman of E&F (in part because he was actually a former Professional Batman - yes you read that correctly). Like the dark knight himself, Jeff’s got a reputation for saving the day, creating stress free experiences for his clients with his passion for people and positive outcomes.

In this episode, Jeff tells us all about what it's like to be a real estate agent in 2023 - the current trends he's seeing when it comes to buying and selling property, how long homes are staying on the market, the ins and outs of buyer's agents, and more!

Rates are a hot topic. With the RBA's frequent rises in the cash rate, people are on the edge of their seats on the first Tuesday of every month to see how their home loan is going to be impacted.

But did you know that mortgage brokers can actually keep your interest rates competitive? That's right - we go in to bat for you with this fancy tool we call PRICING!

Pricing allows brokers to negotiate your interest rate with your bank. See ya rate creeps, and bye bye loyalty tax - not at the Newstead Group. We help you land the most competitive rate for your home loan so that you can save your hard earned dollars for that new John Wick movie, as it were.

Tune in to learn the why, the how and the results of pricing!
