First Home Buyer Support

Buying your first home, whether as an owner-occupier or investor is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make. It should be exciting, not overwhelming. At Stein Financial Solutions, we guide first home buyers across Queensland every step of the way, helping you make confident, informed decisions without the stress.

How We Support First Home Buyers

The first home buying process can feel complex, with questions about deposits, lenders, and government incentives. At Stein, we simplify the process and provide personalised support.

We take the time to understand your financial situation, explain your options in plain language, and guide you from pre-approval to settlement and beyond. Our aim is to help you buy your first home with confidence.


Our support includes:

  • Matching you with suitable lenders and competitive first home buyer loans
  • Structuring your finances to minimise debt and set you up for future success
  • Providing ongoing support to keep your loan competitive after settlement through our Mortgage Minimiser Program
  • Keeping you fully informed and supported at every stage
     

With decades of experience and a client-first approach, we make your first home purchase as smooth and rewarding as possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many first home buyers start with this question. We guide you from the beginning, starting with our Mortgage Ready Program, which helps you plan and prepare for your purchase.

We help answer questions such as:


  • Do I qualify for a loan?
  • What’s my maximum purchase price?
  • What types of properties can I afford?
  • When do I pay the deposit and what happens before settlement?
  • How do I create a financial safety net?
     

Unlike going directly to a bank, where you might be treated as just a number, we treat every client as an individual. We provide clear guidance via video meetings, detailed emails, written guides, and timely phone calls, so you always feel supported.


With over 30 years of experience, we’ve helped clients avoid costly mistakes — including losing a deposit and always prioritise buying with confidence.


  • Obligation-free consultation – We get to know you, ask questions, and provide preliminary advice. No pressure, no decisions required.
  • Mortgage Ready – Our program prepares you with everything needed to secure your mortgage confidently.
  • Written advice – Every recommendation comes with clear, written guidance to help you make informed decisions.
  • Pre-approval – We arrange your home loan pre-approval so you’re ready to negotiate.
  • Property research – Using CoreLogic Property Reports, we provide detailed insights to save time and avoid surprises.
  • Support every step – From negotiations to settlement (“keys day”), we’re by your side throughout the process.
  • Ongoing support – Even after you’ve moved in, our Mortgage Minimiser Program ensures your loan remains competitive.


The First Home Owners Grant is a national scheme administered by each state and territory. In Queensland, it may include:


  • A one-off, tax-free payment
  • Discounts or reductions on property transfer fees
  • Other incentives depending on the property and location
     

Eligibility typically includes:


  • At least one applicant must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • Applicants must be aged 18 or over
  • You must live in the property for at least six months within the first 12 months after settlement
     

We’ll explain which incentives you may be eligible for during your consultation, helping you maximise your savings.


First Home Loan Deposit Scheme

There’s nothing like receiving the keys to your first home — the freedom, excitement, and sense of achievement. For aspiring first home buyers, the First Home Loan Deposit Scheme (FHLDS) can help you get there sooner.


What is the FHLDS?
Launched by the Australian Government, this scheme allows eligible first home buyers with low to moderate incomes to purchase a property with a deposit as low as 5% (subject to lender criteria).


The government acts as a guarantor for part of your loan, helping you avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI) and potentially saving thousands of dollars.


The scheme is available through a panel of participating lenders, including major banks and smaller institutions, giving you more choice and flexibility.
