Hi, my name is Ben Herden and I head the experienced team of mortgage brokers at Mortgage Choice at Gymea.
Keep up to date with the property market, the latest finance tips and what's happening at Mortgage Choice Gymea by visiting & liking us on Facebook here!
We are 22 years old this year! I bought my first Mortgage Choice franchise way back on the 29th of May 1999. A lifetime ago. I still deal with my very first client too! There has been a lot of changes in that time but I'd say nothing tops the last 3 years - the Government started restricting lender borrowing limits and of course, we've all had to suffer through COVID-19 lockdowns (it's good to be back)
How Can a Mortgage Broker Help You?
We can help you work out your borrowing limits and quickly and easily get a pre-approval in place for you (and of course - full unconditional loan approval!). We can also help you get a better deal on your existing loan - even with your current lender!
As local homeowners and active participants in the Shire community (Ben Herden, Michele Hutchen & Kylie Andrews live in Cronulla, the fabulous Christine Fowles lives in Engadine), there's nothing we enjoy more than helping our clients realise their property and financial goals, and we'd very much like to help you.
Whether it's your first home, an investment property or if you're wishing to relocate to the area or wanting to look at refinancing options for your existing loan, the Mortgage Choice Gymea team and I are here to help.
The Sutherland Shire Team
Finding a home loan or refinancing is something most only do a few times throughout their life, but for my team & I, it's what we do day in, day out. We know the local property market and the broader lending landscape intimately and we work with you to find the loan that's right for you.
I've been a Mortgage Broker for 21 years and, between my team and I, we've helped thousands of clients with their home finance. In that time this office has written well over HALF A BILLION $$$ in home loans! That's a lot of loans.
Our performance in this area has been well recognised. We have been regular winners and finalists of the Mortgage Choice Business Excellence Award, we have won numerous local Small Business Awards and we are keen contributors to the local community through our work with schools, clubs and the Chamber of Commerce. I have also appeared on TV as an industry expert and I am often consulted on issues surrounding property and investment by various print media outlets.
Providing the best mortgage broker services to our clients since 1999. Our home loan specialist service Cronulla, Caringbah, Miranda, Gymea, Kurnell, Bundeena, Maianbar, Lillipilli, Burraneer, Woolooware, Sutherland - the whole Shire! - we have clients literally all over the world!! Book your appointment online here or by calling 9525 4544.
Yes, we are very proud of our work and the recognition, but the main reason I highlight it here is to let you know that when you work with us, you are working with a truly local team of experienced and committed professionals. We would love to become a part of your success story, too.
How does the Home Loan process work!
1. Initial Consultation - come in or we can come to you and we'll discuss your goals and circumstances. It's free, without obligation and fully confidential.
2. Loan Choice - we'll assess hundreds of loan products from a broad range of lenders, present you with detailed information, then work with you, answering your questions to help you make the right home loan choice.
3. Application to Settlement - we take the hassle out of the home loan process. We'll complete and submit the appropriate documentation then follow the application through to settlement.
4. Future Needs & Your Protection - as long-term Shire locals and Mortgage Broking professionals, we'll be here for you down the track should you have a question. We care about more than just your home loan. We're with you for the long term.
