Earlier this year, sat down with Leanne Johnstone and asked her to fill us in on what is happening in the home loan market sector. Leanne knows what she is talking about and was featured in an ABC news article called “Mortgage Wars”
Leanne noted in this article that one particular lender, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, was not offering the same deal as other financial institutions. She was quoted as saying:
“I certainly think it’s been a strategy where CBA hasn’t been as sharp with their pricing,” Mortgage Choice broker Leanne Johnstone said.
“So they haven’t been reducing the interest rates as much as what some other lenders have been in terms of discounts.”
Who Needs Help?
Leanne said the following clients have been enlisting her help:
- First Home Owners
- Home Owners with an Existing Mortgage Looking for a better rate
First Home Owners
Leanne said her team can help first homeowners access all the grants they are entitled to. Many first homeowners do not realise they could be eligible for several grants. They only have to provide the information once to Leanne and her team, and they will do the rest and provide options.
Existing Mortgage Holders
Leanne has one team member dedicated to reviewing existing home loans and seeing if they can access a better rate for their clients. She said for minimal effort, they may be able to save some money.
Leanne is a Lane Cove local and has been a Mortgage Choice franchisee for over 21 years.
