The broker difference

More clarity. Less running around.

A lender can explain its own products. Marleen can compare suitable options across Manson’s lender panel, explain the trade-offs and manage the application with you from preparation through to settlement.

With Marleen

You make the decisions. Marleen helps with the legwork.

  • Start with your goals and overall position, not a particular lender.
  • Compare suitable options across Manson’s lender panel.
  • Understand differences in lender policy, pricing, fees, features and loan structure.
  • Have the application prepared and lender follow-up managed for you.
  • Stay supported through approval, settlement and future reviews.

Going direct

You choose the lender and manage the process yourself.

  • Decide which lender to approach or research several separately.
  • Consider the products available from each lender you contact.
  • Compare lender policy, pricing, fees, features and fine print yourself.
  • Prepare the application and respond to lender requests.
  • Track approval conditions, settlement requirements and future reviews.

Manson may receive commission from lenders for arranging eligible loans. Any fees that apply to your situation will be disclosed before you proceed.
