About Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters
Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters provides mortgage broking to borrowers in Sylvania Waters and across the Sutherland Shire, and this page exists so you can check every claim on this site against a licence number, a real person and a published fee structure.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Sylvania Waters
Too many borrowers here had taken their bank's first answer as the only answer, and only discovered later that several other lenders would have said yes to the same file.
Who You Actually Deal With
Broking is a licensed personal service, not a call centre queue, so the question that matters most is who is actually on the other end of the phone. Three things define that here:
Your Broker on File
Every client of Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters deals directly with Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters, the same accountable broker from first call through to settlement, with fees disclosed in writing and the process published, so you always know who handles your file and what happens next.
Local Lending Experience
Lending on this estate has its own habits: canal-front rebuilds on filled ground, irregular waterfront valuations, self-employed owners across the Sutherland Shire, and Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters has structured applications around each of those quirks rather than learning them on your file.
Direct Access, No Handoff
You deal with the same person from the first call through settlement and the review that follows, so nothing about your circumstances gets retold to a stranger, and any recommendation can be explained by the individual who originally made it.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
Very few borrowers have ever had a broker explain the money plainly, and the silence is exactly why the scepticism exists, so here is the full picture before you read another word on this site:
Upfront commission
Trail commission
What you pay on a standard loan
When a fee applies
Now the uncomfortable part, because pretending otherwise would be dishonest: commission levels vary slightly between lenders, which is a genuine conflict of interest. The answer is not a disclaimer buried in fine print, it is documentation. Every recommendation comes with the reasoning in writing, the lenders considered, why the shortlist was cut down, and what the alternatives would have done.
Is it worth using a broker at all? Here is the honest trade-off. A panel of lenders is wide but it is not the entire market, and some lenders deal only direct, so no broker can offer every loan that exists. What you get in exchange is policy knowledge across many lenders at once, applied to your actual file, which for most borrowers beats ringing banks one at a time.
Our Licence and Accreditations
Everything on this page can be checked rather than taken on faith, so the numbers sit below instead of being described in vague terms. These are the four credentials that matter:
Australian Credit Licence
Mortgage broking in Australia operates under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, and every broker must act under an Australian Credit Licence, either holding one directly or working as an authorised credit representative under a licensee who lawfully holds one.
Credit Representative Status
Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters operates as a credit representative of Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd, with the representative number 370592 authorised under Australian Credit Licence 389328, both of which appear on every Credit Guide we issue, and each can be checked against public registers.
External Complaints Pathway
Beyond the licence, borrowers have an external complaints pathway: the Australian Financial Complaints Authority is free to consumers and independent, and our Complaints page explains how to raise a concern with us first and escalate it if you remain unsatisfied.
AFCA Membership
As an AFCA member, this business can be brought before the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent ombudsman service available to you at no cost, meaning that if a dispute arises there is somewhere external and binding to take it.
How We Work With You
The process runs from a no-obligation strategy conversation, through capacity testing and a documented shortlist, to lodgement, settlement and a review after your first year, with every stage and timeline stated before you commit.

Questions answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters?
Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters is a representative of Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, operated by Your Mortgage Broker Sylvania Waters as a credit representative of Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd under Australian Credit Licence 389328. Ownership, licence details and contact details all appear in the Credit Guide.
Are you licensed to arrange home loans?
Yes, as credit representative 370592 under Australian Credit Licence 389328 held by Connective Credit Services Pty Ltd. That authorisation covers credit assistance and arranging loans, and both numbers can be verified on public ASIC registers before you engage us.
How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
The lender you choose pays commission on settlement and a smaller trail while the loan runs. Neither comes from your pocket or changes your rate, and any fee on a non-standard file is quoted in writing first.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Sometimes, yes, commission varies slightly between lenders, and that is a real conflict we name rather than deny. It is managed by documenting the reasoning behind every recommendation, including the lenders considered and why they were ruled out.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will respond promptly and in writing. If the matter is unresolved, you can take it to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority as an AFCA member's client, free of charge.
How many lenders can you actually access?
We work with a panel of lenders across major banks, non-bank lenders and mutuals, and the full list appears in the Credit Guide you receive at the first conversation, so the count is always checkable rather than a marketing number.
