Is Your Home Loan Working Hard Enough?

Offset vs Redraw, Extra Repayments & Simple Ways to Save on Interest

Most people focus on finding the lowest interest rate — then never think about their home loan again.

But how you structure and use your loan day-to-day can matter just as much as the rate itself. From understanding offset accounts vs redraw facilities to making extra repayments, small changes in how you manage your mortgage could save you thousands in interest over the life of your loan.

Two people can have the exact same interest rate but end up paying tens of thousands of dollars apart, simply because of how they use their loan.

FREE 30 MINUTE ON-DEMAND WEBINAR 

This session is intended for:

  • Anyone who already has a home loan, whether with Guzman Finance or another lender.
  • Homeowners who haven’t reviewed their home loan in the last year or two.
  • Anyone who wants to understand offset accounts, redraw and other loan features.
  • Borrowers curious whether small changes to their repayments could make a real difference.
  • Anyone who wants to know what a mortgage broker can actually do for them, beyond just finding a rate.

What you'll learn in this webinar

In this webinar, Andres will guide you through:

  • Whether your repayment frequency — weekly, fortnightly or monthly — actually affects how fast you pay off your loan.

  • What an offset account is, how it reduces your interest, and whether it’s worth having.

  • The real difference between an offset account and a redraw facility.
  • How small habits with your everyday banking can make your money work harder between paydays.
  • Real numbers on how an extra $50, $100 or $200 a week in repayments could save you tens of thousands of dollars in interest.
  • Whether you’re paying for loan features you’re not actually using.
  • How to know when it’s time to review your home loan, and what your options are.
  • How a mortgage broker can help you compare your options and negotiate with your lender.

An offset account is a savings or transaction account linked to your home loan — any money sitting in it is offset against your loan balance before interest is calculated. Check your loan statement or online banking; if you have one, it’s usually listed as a linked “offset” or “everyday” account attached to your mortgage.

Yes. There’s an option to request an obligation-free home loan review when you register, and Andres will be in touch to go through your specific situation in more detail.

An experienced broker like Andres compares options across 40+ lenders rather than offering just one bank’s products, and does the legwork of comparing rates, features and eligibility on your behalf — at no cost to you, since brokers are paid by the lender, not the client. You get the same access to negotiate rate and terms, just with someone acting on your behalf throughout the process.

The examples in this webinar are illustrative only and are based on assumed interest rates, loan balances and loan terms. Your actual savings will depend on your own loan and circumstances. This webinar provides general information only and does not take into account your personal objectives, financial situation or needs. Before making any decisions about your home loan, consider whether the information is right for you and speak with a qualified professional.
