The Mortgage

Coach

I used to do home visits.

New clients would open a drawer and hand me 

unopened mortgage statements.

Sometimes dozens.

Why unopened?

Because they already knew the number inside would hurt.

Ask someone what age they’ll be when their mortgage ends

and watch what happens.

 

There’s normally a pause…

Then

“I’ve got no idea, actually.” 

or 

“Probably my 60s, maybe into my 70s?” 

The repayments go out each month, the direct debit does its job. 

So the assumption becomes

I’m all good, mate.

As a mortgage coach, here’s the hard truth no one else is going to say to your face.

Paying your mortgage 

& knowing whether it’s actually moving

are two very different things.

If you want the latter, you’ve gotta 

know your numbers.

We did some modelling for the Australian Financial Review

Take this scenario: a couple, aged 38 buy their first home with a new $800,000 mortgage. They do everything they think is right: work hard, pay the mortgage on-time. 

Illustrative modelling only: $800,000 loan, age 38, 30-year term, 6.19% average variable rate (RBA, 2026), standard amortisation, no extra repayments assumed. Outcomes vary by individual circumstances.

I’m gunna ask you 3 questions. 

Right here, right now. 

1. What's your current loan balance?

Approx is fine.

2. What year do you want to retire?

3. Do those numbers line up?

Are you happy with that answer? 

You can keep guessing. 

Or you can start asking better questions.

 We’re not accountants. We’re not financial planners.

 and we don’t pretend to be.

 

 

We think it’s time mortgage broking worked differently.

An era where you understand your mortgage. 

An era where you have a mortgage coach. 

An era where someone with mortgage expertise keeps you on your toes.

An era where opening those mortgage statements doesn’t feel like the end of the world. 

They said it better than we could
