Loyalty Tax has become quite the buzzword lately, especially when interest rates are on the rise. Let me break down Loyalty Tax for you.

Picture this: You’re with your current bank, faithfully making your mortgage payments. But did you know you could be paying a higher interest rate just because you haven’t explored other options? That’s Loyalty Tax in action – higher interest, higher repayments.

Believe it or not, some of our clients have shelled out up to $20,000 a year in Loyalty Tax. On average, it’s around $7,000 annually. Now, think about what you could do with that money – a dream holiday, a fancy watch (or a collection of them), or even a pair of those fashionable Crocs (have you seen their prices lately?).

As mortgage brokers, our superpower is finding you the best interest rates out there. Here’s our game plan:

Market mastery:

We use cutting- edge technology to scour the market, checking out over 40 different lenders, including the big names. Our goal? Find the most enticing advertised rates tailored just for you.

Cream of the crop:

Once we've identified the top lenders, we present your application to them, showcasing why they should offer you the best rate in town. We even nudge them to give you a special, 'under the table' offer. Banks know we can play the field, so they put their A-game forward to win your business.

Head-to-head comparison:

We don't stop at just one offer. We present you with the top three 'under the table' rates, allowing them to compete for your business. It's similar to a rate showdown, where we skillfully orchestrate the competition to guarantee you secure the very best option available.

We get it – it's not all about the rate. But here's our promise: we never settle for a bank's 'advertised rate.' We'll constantly strive to secure the absolute best deal they can offer you. What's the secret for snagging that top-tier rate? It's a mix of factors – your risk to the bank, your deposit amount, your stellar repayment history, the strength of your employment, and your net asset position all play a part in the negotiation dance. So, here's the takeaway: Say no to Loyalty Tax. Don't just waltz into your bank for a home loan. Take charge, explore the entire market, and haggle that rate before committing to a loan, Or let us do all the work for you. Your wallet (and your vacation plans or watch collection) will thank you!
