What Australian Borrowers Say About Best Brokers

Mick T.
Mick T.
Licensed Builder & Carpenter · Gold Coast, QLD
★★★★★
Bypassed the 2-Year Tax Return Block in 48 Hours
"My local branch turned me down flat because my 2025 tax return was not lodged with the ATO yet, despite banking over 40k in invoiced progress claims. David Chi Tran used my last 2 quarters of BAS, added back 2k in tool depreciation, and got unconditional approval in 3 business days so we did not lose our auction deposit."

★★★★★
Full Tool & Ute Write-Offs Added Back
"We wrote off an 5,000 dual-cab ute and new test gear under instant asset write-off, which dropped our taxable profit on paper. The big bank treated us like we were broke. Emerge Finance placed us with a specialist non-bank wholesale desk (Liberty) that restored our full borrowing power and approved our .15M home loan."

Bought Our Dream Family Home on 6-Month BAS
"As a self-employed plumber with 3 subbies, pulling together 2 years of complex multi-entity company books was a nightmare. Our broker used 6 months of BAS and trading statements, certified our profit margins, and secured an 85% LVR loan at clean bank rates with zero stress."

Financed Our Commercial Workshop Inside Our SMSF
"We were sick of throwing away ,000 every month renting a generic industrial shed for our excavators. The team structured a Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement inside our SMSF to buy a 320sqm factory unit. Zero personal liability and 100% tax deductible rent payments."

Explore our FAQs

Is Best Brokers free for borrowers? +
Yes, 100% free. Mortgage brokers are compensated by the lender upon successful loan settlement. Under ASIC Best Interests Duty (BID), brokers are legally prohibited from recommending a loan based on lender commission.
Will checking my scenario or using BBA impact my credit score? +
No, absolutely not. Browsing brokers and running our scenario test creates zero footprint on your credit file (no hard inquiries). A credit check is only lodged much later when you formally instruct an accredited broker to lodge an application with a chosen bank.
How does a broker differ from walking into a major bank branch? +
Bank branch staff can only sell you their own institution's products, and by law, they are not bound to act in your best interests. An accredited mortgage broker is legally bound under the National Consumer Credit Protection (NCCP) Act to compare 35+ tier-1 lender panels and fight for the best terms for your situation.
How are brokers verified on the BBA index? +
We cross-reference active Australian Credit Licences (ACL) and Credit Representative numbers with ASIC registers, audit client review veracity across independent channels, audit settlement velocity, and enforce clean regulatory track records.
How does the 5% First Home Guarantee work? +
The Federal First Home Guarantee allows eligible Australian first home buyers to purchase a property with as little as a 5% deposit without paying expensive Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI), saving up to $25,000 upfront. Our specialists verify your scheme eligibility and property price caps in minutes.
Can I get a loan if I'm self-employed with only 1 year of tax returns? +
Yes. While traditional bank branches often demand 2 full years of personal and business tax returns, our verified ABN specialists have access to alt-doc and 1-year financial credit desks that assess 12 months of BAS statements or accountant declarations.
Can a broker pay to remove bad reviews or boost their rank? +
Never. Best Brokers operates on an independent charter. Rankings and trust scores are algorithmically computed from verified regulatory data and consumer feedback. No broker can pay to alter their score or suppress honest reviews.
