How Max can help
Whatever you’re working towards, Max will help you understand the lending options, trade-offs and next steps.

The Manson Approach
With Max as your main point of contact, you get advice shaped around what you’re actually trying to achieve. Max and the Manson team compare suitable lenders, explain the trade-offs clearly and manage the process so you can make confident decisions without getting lost in the paperwork.
With Max in your corner, you can expect us to:
Local context, broader lender choice
Buying or refinancing in the Inner West can come with its own set of lending questions, from strata and apartment purchases to terrace renovations, substantial purchase prices and planning the next move. Max helps you understand what your position supports, how different loan structures may affect your cash flow and what needs to be ready before you make a decision.
Understand your borrowing position, likely upfront costs and lender requirements before the right property appears.
Look at structure, features, policy, fees, turnaround time and flexibility, not just the advertised interest rate.
Consider how today’s lending decision may affect renovations, refinancing, an investment purchase or your longer-term plans.
Our Process
From the first conversation through to approval, settlement and review, we keep things clear, organised and moving so you’re never left wondering what comes next.
Words from our clients
Personal service, team support

Tools and insights
Before you enquire, you might have a few questions about how we work, what we can help with, and what happens next. Here are the basics.
No. Speaking with Max 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. Max helps first home buyers understand borrowing capacity, deposits, lender policy, pre-approval and government schemes or incentives where they are available and suitable. He will explain the process from the first plan through to settlement.
Yes. Max 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. Max is based in Rozelle and supports clients across Sydney’s Inner West, broader Sydney, regional NSW and Australia. Meetings can be held by phone or video when that is more convenient.
Yes. Max works with property investors and clients exploring SMSF lending. SMSF borrowing involves legal, accounting and financial advice outside the loan itself, so Max can coordinate with your accountant, financial adviser and other professionals where needed.
You do not need a complete application file to start. It helps to have a broad picture of your income, savings, existing debts, regular expenses and the property goal you are considering. Max will provide a clear document checklist when 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.
