Our Process
From the first conversation through to approval, settlement and review, Marleen and the Manson team keep things clear, organised and moving so you're never left wondering what comes next.
Before you enquire, you might have a few questions about how Marleen works, what she can help with and what happens next. Here are the basics.
No. Speaking with Marleen early can help you understand your borrowing position, likely lender requirements and what to prepare before you make an offer. If you are still planning, the first conversation can simply focus on the steps ahead.
Yes. Marleen helps first home buyers understand borrowing capacity, deposits, lender policy, pre-approval and government schemes or incentives where they are available and suitable. She will explain the process from the first plan through to settlement.
Yes. Marleen can review the rate, structure, features and flexibility of your current loan, then compare suitable alternatives across lenders. A refinance only makes sense when the overall benefit and costs stack up for your situation.
No. Marleen supports clients across the Fraser Coast, Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast, regional Queensland and Australia. Meetings can be held by phone or video when that is more convenient.
Yes. Marleen works with property investors and clients exploring SMSF lending. SMSF borrowing involves legal, accounting and financial advice outside the loan itself, so she can coordinate with your accountant, financial adviser and other professionals where needed.
Yes. Marleen helps doctors, dentists, specialists and allied health professionals understand lender policies that may be available to eligible medical borrowers. The right option depends on your profession, income structure, deposit and broader position.
You don’t need a complete application file to get started. It helps to have a broad picture of your income, savings, existing debts, regular expenses and what you’re hoping to do. Marleen will provide a clear document checklist when a detailed assessment is needed.
Any fee that applies to your situation will be disclosed before you proceed. Mortgage brokers may also receive commission from a lender when a loan settles. The relevant remuneration and credit information will be explained in the documents provided during the process.
Yes. Construction and renovation lending can involve building contracts, progress payments, valuations and additional approval conditions. Marleen can help you understand the likely finance structure and what needs to be ready before work begins.
Yes. Marleen can help with situations involving self-employment, non-standard income, existing investment debt, medical professional lending or other circumstances that may be treated differently across lenders. She’ll assess the position before recommending a suitable path.
