ABOUT SERRES, FIRST HOME BUYER EXPERT
Chat with Lee, your Gold Coast first home buyer expert.
For over 14 years Lee has run a private REIT with a diverse property portfolio — the foundation of Serres Property Finance. The business came out of something he kept noticing: lending is constantly evolving, and so are clients' needs.
There was a time when your bank manager knew you, and trust and service mattered more than a credit file. Then the GFC hit, the Banking Royal Commission followed, and the doors got harder to open — especially for complex borrowers like the self-employed, investors and first home buyers. Now, knowing which lender to approach and what they'll actually say yes to makes all the difference.
Lee's family are property owners and investors themselves. They started with one investment property in Newtown, then moved into care facilities and multi-storey residential development. So whether you're buying your first home, building toward retirement, or running a development, Lee knows the challenges you face and how to get the right outcome.

How Our broadbeach Mortgage broker helps
Why do Gold Coast locals use Serres for their first home loans?
Around 70% of Australian home loans now go through a broker, because we plug into 70+ lenders to find what fits you, not what suits a particular bank's agenda. We're here to help with your unique needs, not someone else's.
We also review your rate every twelve months, for as long as you hold the loan, whether there's a commission in it or not. It's not just about finding the right loan today, it's about making sure it's still the right loan in five years, on the Gold Coast or anywhere else you live or invest.

FAQs
How much deposit do I need for my first home?
It depends on the lender and whether you're using a government scheme or lenders mortgage insurance, which is why we map your options against current lender policy before you start looking.
Can a broker help with government first home buyer schemes?
Yes. We check your eligibility for relevant first home buyer schemes and grants alongside standard lending, so you see the full picture of what's available to you.
What's the difference between a bank and a broker for a first home loan?
A bank can only offer its own products. As a broker, Serres is accredited with 70+ lenders, so we compare across the market for the loan that actually fits your situation.
Will using a broker cost me anything?
Broker services are typically paid by the lender, not the borrower, so there's usually no direct cost to you for our advice and the work we do to find your loan.
