Local knowledge

Bateau Bay mortgage broker

I am Malinda Callender, an independent mortgage broker based in Terrigal, a short drive from Bateau Bay. Not a call centre in another state. One named person who lives where you are buying, and who you can actually get on the phone.

The Bateau Bay market, in plain terms

Bateau Bay offers beachside living at a friendlier price than the blue chip pockets, which makes it popular with families and first home buyers. House values broadly sit around the one point two million range, with units in the mid seven hundred thousands providing an accessible way in. These figures are indicative only and move over time, so we confirm your real numbers before you rely on them.

Why independent

Why an independent broker, not a bank or a call centre

A bank can only ever offer you the bank. I am independent on purpose, so that I answer to you and not to a product panel. I work across a wide panel of lenders, my help is free to you because the lender pays me when your loan settles, and I will tell you the truth even when the truth is not yet.

Common questions

Good questions, straight answers.

Is Bateau Bay affordable for first home buyers?+

It is one of the more accessible beachside options, and a unit here can suit a first purchase. We work out what is realistic for you.

Can you help me compare it to nearby suburbs?+

Yes. I know the surrounding areas and can talk through the trade offs in price and lifestyle.

What will your help cost me?+

In most cases nothing. The lender pays the broker on settlement. You would always know in advance if a fee applied.
