Thinking property? Let us help you put your ideas into action.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade, downsize, renovate, or buy your first home or need help with refinancing, our Life Sherpas can guide you through the entire process, from application to settlement – providing tailored recommendations at every stage.
Refinancing
You may have had your home loan for years – but is it still the best option for you? A lot can change in a few years. You'd be amazed how much you can save by making a simple switch. Life Sherpa® makes the process easy and can help you reduce your payments so you have more to spend, pay off your loan faster, borrow more to pay off your credit, or pay for that renovation you've always wanted.
First Home Buyer
Buying a property is a big deal – and it's especially stressful if you're unfamiliar with the process. Life Sherpa® makes the whole experience so much easier and relieves the stress of buying your first home or upsizing to a bigger place.
We'll guide you through the mortgage process from start to finish so you don't get any nasty surprises.
Renovating
Whether you're thinking of adding a new kitchen or just a bit of DIY, you'll need money to pay for your renovation projects, no matter how big or small. Life Sherpa® can help turn your dreams into reality.
Upgrading
Have more money saved to move up and give the kids more space? Life Sherpa® can help you get the loan you need while bridging your finance and deposit bonds, so you can get the house you want.
Investing
Ready to invest? Use the equity in your home to buy an investment property or build a property portfolio. Rent where you want to live and buy where you can afford. Your Life Sherpa® can show you how to do this safely.
Debt Consolidation
Struggling with how to track all your credit cards debts and other loans? Life Sherpa® can show you how to consolidate them into one loan, so you get to enjoy fewer payments, reduced fees, and be debt-free faster!

Most providers pay a commission when you take out an insurance policy. Unlike most brokers, we pass any upfront or trailing commissions to you, less our capped fee. After all, it's your bonus, so it should come back to you!
Here’s how it works
Step 01
Consultation
You’ll have a chat with your Life Sherpa®, who will ask some questions about your life, goals, and current financial situation. They’ll explain the mortgage process, and give you a realistic picture of what you can borrow – and they’ll also let you know if you are eligible for government incentives like the First Home Owners Grant.
Step 02
Application
Your Life Sherpa® will find the right loan for you (selecting from our panel of over 30 lenders). They’ll then help you organise pre-approval (which lasts six months) – this means you can go ahead and bid, or make an offer with confidence.
Step 03
Approval
Your offer on a home has been accepted, you’ve paid your deposit, and you’re ready to move ahead. Now, your Life Sherpa® prepares the paperwork to get your loan approved. This typically takes around 6 weeks, during which time they’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Step 04
Settlement
When it's time to settle on your home, the lender will prepare the loan documentation for you to sign and return. Your Life Sherpa® will guide you through every step of the settlement process.
Step 05
Enjoy life
Your solicitor arranges settlement, and you get the keys. Now sit back and enjoy! If you’re eligible for a commission cash back, it will be paid into your nominated bank account every month. Happy days!
