but I was hoping to find someone a little closer to home, thanks.
I think you will find generally, that the good brokers will have offices and make business hours appointments for you to visit them. Many will ask for some of your information upfront before committing to an appointment.
there are loads of brokers who will see you after hours, in your home, and have a cup of tea. However (this is a broad generalisation) they are usually inexperienced brokers working for a franchise, cutting their teeth.There is enough infomation on here to start you in the right direction as to what sort of investment finance questions you need to ask of a broker. You can then decide whether its worth making the trek out to the eastern suburbs (or starting the process over the phone) or whether to get someone closeby who might not have the same level of specific investor knowledge.

Sometimes i think this forum is a pulling d!ck contest. You're comments above are an absolute joke ...
Here's a little story for you .... around 7 years ago NAB changed the title of their Mobile mortgage Manager (MMM) position and at the same time dropped the pay by around $30k. Needless to say most of the Triple M's took packages. Some of these triple M's had more than 20 years experience in lending and went on to broking. They do exactly as you describe above, after hours visits to the clients homes. They don't need to rely on shiny offices, their experience and reputation is more than enough .... and I can tell you first hand that these guys write some big numbers with litytle more help than one admin staff.
But if you think your office makes you better than these guys or it compensates for other areas you might be lacking in, good for you....
Don't generalise, to the inexperienced you make look like gods gift, but to the rest of us you come across as a fool
fair enough, I did say I was making a broad generalisation. yes a lot of brokers are ex bank staff, with many years experience, and I guess quite a few of them choose to work from home and see people after hours. What do you think the chances are of the poster happening upon one of these brokers by google, or phone book? Pretty slim. More likely than not they will get a large franchise come up first in the search, who will send out an inexperienced broker. Because, once they are experienced, (like your NAB friends) they dont work for a franchise anymore, or they recruit newbies to do the running around.
For the record, Im not one of those brokers. I see people after hours, and I travel all over Melbourne to see clients. Most of my client base are not investors. I dont work for myself. Im on this forum as an investor. When I think I have something to share, either thru my investing experience, or my finance experience Im going to share it.

Meh...average loan less than $100k, the extra responsibility and care required under NCCP make them not worth the trouble for mine.
