Local knowledge

The Entrance mortgage broker

I am Malinda Callender, an independent mortgage broker based in Terrigal, a short drive from The Entrance. 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 The Entrance market, in plain terms

The Entrance is often the value entry point to the Coast, which makes it popular with first home buyers and investors. House values here are among the more affordable on the Coast, broadly around the nine hundred and sixty thousand mark, with units in the low to mid six hundred thousands. That accessibility is exactly why schemes can matter here. These figures are indicative only and change over time, so we confirm yours first.

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 The Entrance good for a first home?+

Often yes. It is one of the more affordable pockets on the Coast, and first home buyer schemes can be especially relevant here.

Does it work as an investment area?+

Many investors look here for the entry price and rental demand. I will structure the lending around your goals.

Are you nearby?+

Yes, a short drive away in Terrigal. I know the area and the market.
