About us
About Your Mortgage Broker Kinross
Your Mortgage Broker Kinross is a mortgage broking business serving Kinross and the wider City of Joondalup. This page explains who we are, who holds our licence, how we are paid and what you can check before engaging us.
Why We Started a Broking Business in Kinross
Borrowers in this area were doing it the hard way: ringing banks one by one, deciphering conflicting answers, signing applications without understanding why one lender said no and another said yes. That gap between what households need and what bank branches provide is why we started.
Who You Actually Deal With
The person whose name appears on your credit guide is the person who does the work, and that matters more than any slogan:
The Broker on File
Your file sits with Your Mortgage Broker Kinross, a credit representative of a licensed Australian Credit Licence holder, so the person who assesses your situation is the same person who lodges, manages and follows the file through from first call to settlement.
Local Experience That Repeats
Working across Kinross and the surrounding City of Joondalup means seeing the same local patterns: families refinancing established four bedroom homes, first buyers stretching toward the entry market, and self employed locals whose income arrives in formats banks read poorly.
No Handoff, No Call Centre
There is no call centre and no handoff between departments: you ring, you speak to the broker handling your file, questions get answered by the person who read your documents, and that continuity holds from the conversation through to settlement.
How We Get Paid, in Plain English
The commission question is where most broker websites go quiet, and that silence is exactly why the scepticism exists, so here is the whole arrangement in plain view:
Upfront commission
Trail commission
What you pay
When a fee applies
Now the uncomfortable part. Commission amounts vary somewhat between lenders, which is a genuine conflict of interest and pretending otherwise would insult your intelligence. Our answer is procedural rather than defensive: the reasoning behind every recommendation goes in writing, naming what was compared and why the recommended loan won, so you can interrogate the logic instead of being asked to trust it.
Is it worth using a broker at all? For most borrowers, yes, because comparing credit policy, not just price, is work no individual bank performs for you. The honest trade-off is this: any panel, however wide, is still not every lender in the market, and if the lender that genuinely suits your file sits outside ours, we will say so rather than force the fit.
Our Licence and Accreditations
The quick win here is verification: every number a sceptical borrower would want to check is printed below, so confirm each one independently before you trust any of it:
Credit Licence Status
Broking in Australia operates under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act, so every recommendation we give sits under a licence: [LICENSEE NAME] holds Australian Credit Licence 389328, which authorises credit activities and carries obligations binding on every single file.
Credit Representative Status
Your Mortgage Broker Kinross operates as a credit representative under that licence, registered as Credit Representative 370592, which means the licensee supervises our compliance, audits our own files and remains directly accountable to the regulator for the advice delivered under its authorisation.
How We Work
When you work with Your Mortgage Broker Kinross, the same accountable broker handles your file from the first call through to settlement. Our credit representative number and Australian Credit Licence details are published in the footer, and fees are disclosed in writing.
AFCA Membership
Should a dispute arise, membership of the Australian Financial Complaints Authority gives you access to an independent dispute resolution scheme at no cost, and our AFCA membership number is [AFCA NUMBER], stated so you can confirm it before engaging us.
How We Work With You
That structure only matters if the process behind it is disciplined, and ours is published rather than improvised: four defined stages, each with stated inputs, outputs and typical timeframes, so you always know where your file sits and what happens next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns and runs Your Mortgage Broker Kinross?
Your Mortgage Broker Kinross is operated by Your Mortgage Broker Kinross as a credit representative, trading under Zanda Wealth Mortgage Brokers, authorised under Australian Credit Licence 389328 held by [LICENSEE NAME]. The full structure is set out in the licence section above.
Are you licensed to arrange home loans?
Yes. We operate as Credit Representative 370592 under Australian Credit Licence 389328, held by [LICENSEE NAME], which authorises credit assistance for residential lending under the National Consumer Credit Protection Act.
How do you get paid if I don't pay a fee?
The lender that writes your loan pays commission: an upfront payment on settlement and a smaller trail payment while the loan stays on its books. Neither comes from your pocket or changes your rate.
Do you get paid more for recommending certain lenders?
Commission varies a little between lenders, and we name that conflict rather than deny it. Our answer is to put the reasoning behind every recommendation in writing, so you can check it against the panel yourself.
What happens if I have a complaint?
Raise it with us first and we will respond promptly and in writing. If you remain unsatisfied, you can take the matter to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, an independent external scheme, at no cost to you.
How many lenders can you actually access?
We work with a panel of lenders spanning major banks, non-bank lenders and smaller specialists. The exact count is set by our licensee and confirmed in the credit guide you receive before any recommendation.
