About Your Mortgage Broker Cottesloe
This page exists so you can check us out before trusting us with the biggest financial decision most households ever make: who we are, how we are licensed, and exactly how we get paid.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Cottesloe
Your Mortgage Broker Cottesloe began because borrowers here were too often accepting one bank's answer as the market's answer, and in a suburb where the median household mortgage repayment runs near $3,925 a month, that costs real money.
Who You Actually Deal With
Anonymous brands hide behind logos, yet nobody signs their name to your loan application that way. We put a named, credentialed broker on every file, so here is exactly who fronts this business:
The Broker on File
Your loan is handled personally by Your Mortgage Broker Cottesloe, who operates as credit representative number 370592, and the Australian Credit Licence 389328 is published in the footer. The same accountable broker handles your file from first call to settlement.
Local Case Experience
Your Mortgage Broker Cottesloe works daily with Cottesloe situations, from apartments near the train line to family homes, in a suburb of 2,892 dwellings where the median household mortgage repayment runs at roughly $3,925 a month, a figure that shapes every recommendation.
Direct Access, No Handoff
From the first conversation through to settlement and annual reviews, you deal with that same person, and your file is never handed off to an offshore processing queue or an anonymous call centre on the other side of the country.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
Most people never ask how a no-fee broker survives, and the answer is less mysterious than the industry makes it sound: the lender pays, not you. The mechanics are worth two minutes of your attention:
Upfront commission
Trail commission
Neither comes from you
When a fee applies
Now the conflict nobody else names: commission sizes vary a little between lenders, which means we could, in theory, be nudged toward the one that pays more. We handle that by writing down the reasoning behind every recommendation, so you can see why a lender suits your situation rather than our statement.
And the honest trade-off: even a wide panel is not every lender in the market. Is it worth using a broker anyway? For most borrowers, yes, because comparing a panel beats relying on one branch, provided you understand that boundary.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Trust claims are cheap, licence numbers are not, and every figure below can be independently verified in minutes. Here is the regulatory structure behind this business:
Credit Licence Status
Broking in Australia is regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, and every recommendation on this site is made under Australian Credit Licence 389328, held by [LICENSEE NAME], the licensee accountable for the conduct of our credit activities.
Credit Representative Status
We operate as a credit representative, number 370592, which means the licensee supervises our compliance, audits our loan files and provides the dispute resolution framework, so accountability sits with a licensed entity rather than with an unregulated sales operation.
Professional Accountability
As a credit representative with credit representative number 370592 and Australian Credit Licence 389328, Your Mortgage Broker Cottesloe works under a published process and clear written fees, so accountability is directly visible at every stage from first call to settlement.
AFCA Membership
Membership of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority means an independent, free external disputes body can review any complaint you bring against us, and its decisions bind us, which matters, because a disagreement never ends with us marking our own homework.
How We Work With You
The process runs in stages: a free strategy conversation, a shortlist built on your actual numbers, an application we assemble and lodge, and an annual review after settlement, with timeframes confirmed in writing at each step.

Areas We Service

How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?

Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Commission does vary a little between lenders, and that is a genuine conflict worth naming rather than denying. We manage it by putting the reasoning behind every recommendation in writing, so you can judge whether it fits your situation.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will respond promptly. If you remain unsatisfied, you can take the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent and free external disputes body whose decisions bind us.
How many lenders can you actually access?
