About Us - Our Story

With our collective experience of more than 20+ years in mortgage broking, we have finally put together an online comparison tool that can help you make better financial decisions putting borrowers back in the driver seat.

How we came about.

We started Rateseeker to help Australians find the right home loan to purchase their dream home. We understand that the process of purchasing a house can be daunting, confusing and disheartening. So we’re on a mission to empower Aussies by educating them along the way. We make sure you know exactly what you need to do to get that dream home you’ve been waiting for.

Our online approach provides you with an estimate on how much you need to borrow to buy the property you always wanted. In the end, our goal is to give you a clearer picture of your current financial state, and as much help as possible to get closer to that dream home. Our brokers are also always available to help you out.

Rateseeker's brokers are always available to help you out.
