About us
About Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs
Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs is a mortgage broking service for Red Cliffs and the wider Sunraysia district, run by a named, licensed credit representative and built on disclosure: who we are, how we earn, and what every recommendation costs you.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Red Cliffs
Local borrowers were driving to Mildura, waiting weeks for an appointment and hearing a policy-driven no without a single explanation. That experience, repeated across a town of 5,294 people, is the reason this business opened its doors.
Who You Actually Deal With
A named, credentialed person handling your loan is worth more than any anonymous brand promise, so this section introduces the broker by name, states their credentials and explains how the working relationship runs from the first call onward:
Your Broker on File
The broker fronting this business is Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs, so the person advising you is named and accountable for every recommendation on your file, handling your file from first call to settlement under the Australian Credit Licence published in the footer.
Local Lending Experience
Living and working locally, Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs has seen many Red Cliffs files before: seasonal horticulture income, self-employed growers and first buyers around the 3496 postcode, patterns a city broker rarely encounters and ones that shape which local lender best fits.
No Call Centre Handoffs
Every conversation happens directly with Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs, from the first strategy call through to settlement day and reviews that follow, so nothing gets lost between departments, nobody repeats your story twice, and decisions arrive without waiting for a head office.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
Scepticism about broker pay is reasonable, so this section gives you the entire arrangement up front: what we earn, from whom, when a fee would ever apply to you, and the one conflict we would rather name than hide.
Upfront commission
Trail commission
Client fees
Here is the conflict, named plainly: commission amounts differ a little between lenders, which means the choice of lender has a financial effect on us. We manage that by writing down the reasoning behind every recommendation, the options considered, and why the shortlisted lender suits your circumstances, so you can interrogate the decision rather than take it on faith.
Is a broker worth it? For most borrowers, yes, because the comparison work, the policy knowledge and the paperwork management are done for you. The honest trade-off is that any panel, however wide, is still not every lender in the market, and we will say when your situation sits outside it.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Anyone can claim credibility on a website, so this page states the numbers instead, and each one is checkable before you hand over a single document:
Australian Credit Licence

Our credit representative number is 370592, recorded against the licensee's register, which means you can verify the authorisation yourself before engaging us, and any conduct on this site or in your file is answerable ultimately to the licence holder.

Questions answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs?
Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs is a representative of Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, a credit representative authorised under Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd's Australian Credit Licence. The person you deal with is Your Mortgage Broker Red Cliffs, whose details appear in the credit guide we give you.
Are you licensed to arrange home loans?
Yes. We operate under Australian Credit Licence 389328, held by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd, as credit representative 370592. Every credit activity we perform is authorised, recorded and regulated under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.
How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
In most cases, you pay nothing. The lender pays us an upfront commission at settlement and a smaller trail commission while your loan runs. Neither comes from your pocket, and neither changes the rate you are offered.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Yes, commission amounts vary slightly between lenders, and that is a genuine conflict we name rather than deny. Our answer is to put the reasoning behind every recommendation in writing, so you can see exactly why a lender was chosen.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will respond promptly. If unresolved, you can take the complaint to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent and free dispute resolution service our licensee belongs to.
How many lenders can you actually access?
We work with a panel of lenders covering major banks, regional lenders and non-bank institutions. No panel reaches every lender in the market, and if your situation sits outside it, we will say so plainly.
