Steve from Mortgage Choice made the whole home loan process easy, he explained everything to us, was quick with everything and constantly stayed in communication throughout the whole process. We honestly thought getting a home loan was going to be stressful, but Steve made it all stress free and provided us with all the options that suited our financial situation. We are more than happy recommending Steve, we are very excited and looking forward to moving into our first home.
Ronnie & Renee, Hassall Grove, NSW
- First Home Buyer

I could not speak highly enough of Steven. He guides you through a plethora of forms, with charm and a steely determination. He is always there for you, always phones back when you leave a message, always by your side until the contract is signed. Thank you Steven.
Roger & Charlotte, Wentworth Falls, NSW
- Refinancer

Everybody has different issues, different circumstances and it all looks daunting! Steve knows how to smooth it all out and clear the road blocks. Add his extensive knowledge and contacts, Steve will achieve a far better solution for you without the pain.
Nick & Theresa, Killarney Heights, NSW
- Property Investor

As first home buyers, we were nervous about entering the world of mortgages and buying units! Steve was amazing, he came to our house and explained everything we needed to know but this was just the start. Steve and Mortgage Choice helped us all the way through the buying process. We really felt that steve went the extra mile, and was always happy to go over things again and make sure we knew exactly what we were doing. We will recommend Steve to all of our friends, our experience couldn't have been better!
John & Courtney, Chatswood, NSW
- First Home Buyer

Steve, my sincere thanks and appreciation for your assistance in securing the loan to purchase my new unit at Roseville. Your advice and assistance was invaluable. Within one week of my initial contact with you I had received the pre-approval for the loan and had been able to make an offer for purchase. In addition, your being able to obtain a reduction in the standard interest rate and bank fees will save me thousands of dollars over the life of the loan. I cannot speak highly enough of your dedication and professionalism, whilst the communication from both you and Monica far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend you to my family and friends. Thanks again.
Justine, Roseville, NSW

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone thinking about buying property. He made the process easy, he was reliable and contactable even outside of business hours. He answered plenty of questions that were outside the scope of a mortgage broker. He was our go-to man. When we requested confirmation that our mortgage application forms had been put in the post he emailed us a photo!
Denise & Richard, Lane Cove, NSW
- First Home Buyer

Thank you Steve for the great service you provided through the sale and remortgage of our Sydney properties. This was by no means a small endeavor and the practical help you provided (including getting Australian Banks to understand our Swiss Incomes) was very much appreciated. Also, your professionalism in finding the best products available given our complicated circumstances was without peer and despite the time differences between Switzerland and Australia, you still made yourself available to our convenience. In short we are truly indebted to you and we could not have done this without you! Thank you for helping us buy our new home.
Niranjan & Uma, Currently Overseas, NSW
- Property Investor

As a risk averse financially illiterate property investor I found Steve to be just what I needed to help get me started in property investment. Steve is incredibly patient and helpful, but best of all is that he is not afraid to tell me if I am expecting too much or contemplating something unwise. I have found him to be always polite and respectful whilst being direct and informative. I recommend him highly.
Paul, Arncliffe, NSW
- Property Investor

We thank Steven for all his help during the entire loan process. It was definitely not as stressful as I thought. Steven walked us through everything and made it very easy. He has given us great advice and found us a great rate in the market. He kept us well informed and his communication is second to none. We highly recommend him to anyone and I've already recommended him to a friend of mine.
Ryan & Zayra, Prestons, NSW
- First Home Buyer

Steven is a master of understanding his customer needs. His wealth of knowledge in bank offerings and options is second to none. Before we got in contact I was trying, with little luck, to sort out my own financials. Steve offered up suggestions to me that I didn't even know existed. He made the whole process of refinancing my home loan simple and dare I say, enjoyable. I can now enjoy life without having to live pay by pay. Steven has made me a customer for life.
Mark, Seven Hills, NSW
- Refinancer

Steve is an outstanding professional who takes the time to understand his clients needs and provide them with the right advice to meet their needs. I found Steve to be very thorough, efficient and practical when it came to providing solutions to meet our complex needs. As we are currently overseas, Steve made himself available at our convenience which we really appreciated. Without doubt, I know that we would not have been able to purchase our property without Steve. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve (and his team) to anyone considering obtaining a mortgage. Thank you Steve.
Irfan, Sydney, NSW
- Property Investor

Steve recently helped with obtaining a home loan for my partner and I. Being a small business owner with fluctuating income, our choices for lending were limited but Steve knew the policies of the lenders we could qualify with straight away without having to put in multiple applications with several lenders, saving us the time and also being able to advise our realistic lending position quickly, enabling us to secure our new home in the timeframe we needed to move on. Steve is someone I will be and have been recommending my family and friends call as soon as they are considering purchasing property.
David, Willoughby, NSW
- First Home Buyer

Steve helped me swiftly with my property finance at a very short time-frame and managed to secure a competitive package for me. I happily recommend him to anyone that is after a smart and active mortgage broker.
Negin, Waitara, NSW
- First Home Buyer

Steve is a great operator, extremely organized and efficient, would highly recommend his services.

Extra Information

Home Buyer Concession Scheme

From 1 July 2019, the FHOG ACT has been replaced with exemptions on stamp duty. The stamp duty exemption is applicable to all properties in ACT, including vacant residential land and both new and established homes at any price. As this is still to aid first home buyers, to be eligible at least one buyer must live in the home for at least 12 months, starting within 12 months of settlement or completion of construction.

To be eligible, first homeowners in the ACT must have a household income below $160,000. This number increases up to $176,000 depending on the number of children you may have.

Stamp duty concessions in NSW

From 1 August 2020, the NSW government has announced that stamp duty will not be applicable to first home buyers for properties valued up to $800,000 and vacant land valued up to $400,000. This stamp duty exemption will be in place for 12 months to 31 July 2021, in which the stamp duty exemptions will revert back to $650,000 for homes and $350,000 for land.

Additionally, a concessional rate of duty will apply to homes valued more than $800,000 but less than $1,000,000 and vacant blocks of land valued more than $400,000 and less than $500,000

How much is the First Home Owners Grant NSW?

The FHOG in NSW is worth $10,000 however conditions apply. To be eligible, your first home must have a total value below $600,000, and be either newly constructed or ‘substantially renovated’. A home is substantially renovated when most or all of the original house was removed or replaced, and it’s the first time the place has been sold, and lived in, after the renovations were completed.

If you plan to build a new home from scratch, you can still be eligible for the FHOG in NSW as long as your land plus the home you build have a combined value of less than $750,000.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant in the NT?

The First Home Owner Grant in NT is$10,000. Your income and the price of your home don’t affect the FHOG NT, and the grant is available if you buy or build a new house, apartment, duplex or townhouse.

The Territory’s First Home Owner Discount has been in place since 8 February 2019. It lets you save up to a maximum of $18,601 on the cost of stamp duty. The savings is available whether you buy a new or established home as long as the home is valued under $650,000.

How much is the First Home Owners Grant QLD?

As a first home buyer in Queensland you could be entitled to the $15,000 First Home Owner Grant. To be eligible, you need to buy a brand new home or build a home from scratch with the total value (including the land) below $750,000. You may also be eligible if you buy off the plan or an established home that’s been substantially renovated.

As a guide, substantial renovations include replacing or altering foundations or replacing or altering floors. Cosmetic work such as painting the walls or sanding floors doesn’t add up to a substantial renovation when it comes to the FHOG in QLD.

Stamp duty concessions

If you’re buying vacant land to build your first home, you pay zero stamp duty as long as you pay $400,000 or less for your block. Whereas if your first home is valued up to $500,000, you pay zero stamp duty. That’s a saving of $8,750, which is the maximum stamp duty rebate available to first home buyers in Qld.

Additionally, savings on stamp duty may still be available if you pay between $500,000 and $550,000 for your first home. As a guide, if your first home is worth $505,000, you pay stamp duty of $1,050, a saving of $7,875. These savings cut out altogether if your first home costs $550,000 or more. On a property valued at $550,000, for example, the stamp duty would work out to be $10,600.
