Refinance your home loan
Advice on refinancing your current debts to get a better deal.
When people contact us to refinance, the number one thing on their minds is usually how to get a better interest rate and reduce their home loan repayments.
They often also have other debts like car loans or credit cards and want to consolidate these to save on repayments. Or they may be considering buying an investment property or renovating, so wish to ensure their current home loan is optimal first.
There are typically four different situations which involve refinancing, depending on what you want to achieve:
Negotiate a better deal with your current lender – if you are happy with the service from your current lender, but would like a better deal;
Refinance to a new lender – if we can get a better deal for you elsewhere;
Consolidate your existing debt – if you have a number of small debts like car loans, credit cards and personal loans (along with your home loan) using up your surplus funds we will consider a loan increase (either with your current lender or a new lender) to simplify and reduce your repayments.
Accessing money – for example, to renovate, buy an investment or buy shares
To determine which approach is best for you, we need to understand how you are managing your money, home loan and other debts right now. Then we consider any financial goals you might have over the next few years.
One of the reasons people choose us to help them refinance their debt is that we will guide you through from the start, by showing you how to get your finances ready to apply for the refinance, and then advise you on the best refinancing approach for you.
We have long term relationships with all major lenders and with our expertise in banking policy, you can feel confident that we have a good chance of getting your refinance approved.
Best of all, we don’t charge you a fee to use our service as we are paid by the lender when your home loan settles.
You should consider refinancing if you…
Steps to refinancing
This is our simple process to refinance your debts:
We will need to get an idea of your overall financial situation now and what your goals are over the next 3-to-5 years. This could be paying your home loan off quickly, building a property portfolio or early retirement. We will consider how we can improve your overall financial situation, including finding you a better interest rate.
Once we understand what you want to achieve, we will look at different lending options for you. The team may organise property valuations with different lenders on your behalf. You will need to complete our simple online Fact Find and upload your paperwork so we can research your loan options.
We’ll meet face-to-face to discuss our research and your refinance options. We want you to feel comfortable with the different approaches available. Once you’ve signed the refinance application, we will handle all the fine print so you can relax knowing your home loan will be approved. Then we work on a plan to help you reach your financial goals in the next 3-to-5 years.
If you have a new lender they will arrange settlement with your previous lender. At this point you need to arrange for new bank accounts to be set up. If you are paying off any other debts like a credit card or personal loan you will be able to arrange to pay these debts down once your home loan has gone through.

With us both being self-employed the likelihood of being approved for a home loan in this post-bank royal commission era was tenuous at best. That is until we met with Victor. Victor was the consummate professional as an advisory, in the gathering of relevant details and his liaising with the banks. Without Victor our dreams could not of been realised.

Victor recently helped one of my clients who were having issues with their finance. Our clients were impressed with Victor’s level of service and attention to detail. They were very happy that he took the time to consider their personal circumstances before providing a number of finance options for them to choose from. Our clients now have unconditional approval and we look forward to a smooth settlement process! Thanks, Victor!

Couldn’t recommend Victor highly enough! Heard of Blackk finance through word of mouth and couldn’t be happier with the service. Victor and his team helped my partner and I with the never ending process of buying our first home. Victor was patient and explained every step of the way, without ever pressuring us into anything. Victor always responded to calls and emails with haste and no question seemed silly enough for him! Put us both at ease. Thanks for everything.

I can't recommend them enough! We were referred to Victor by a friend to sort his help and expertise with everything to do with purchasing our first home. We are first timers and had no idea where to start. Victor went above and beyond for us, staying in contact, following up on everything and stuck it out with us for a few years before we had enough to finally start the process.Victor & Blackk finance are great guys and we won't hesitate in contacting them again in the future.We appreciate everything you's have done for us! Thank you

This was our first experience using a mortgage broker. It was absolutely pleasure to dealing with Victor Kalinowski from Blackk Finance.He assisted us with buying our first home. Victor guided us through the process every step of the way and worked hard to find the best proposal for our needs. Victor explained everything really simple and was more than happy to answer our questions throughout the process, even when they were just basic questions. Special thanks for helping us to getting First Home Grant. We would highly recommend him for mortgage service!Many thanks Victor and Debbie for their job, it was awesome!

Blackk Finance made buying my first home so easy. I had a bit of a deposit saved - wasn't sure if it was enough and a friend of my suggested I give them a call. They were friendly and patient to deal with - ended up talking to them for about 25 minutes and then booked an appointment to meet with Victor. He explained what my options where and then exactly what I'd need to do.I didn't feel rushed in any way and he listened to what I wanted to do in the future an made it really easy. Stoked with how much they helped and what a difference it made. Saving up for my 1st investment property now! 😉

My partner and I had been recommended by friends to contact Victor at Blackk Finance for the purchase of our first home. From the initial meet and greet late one evening to the actual purchase / finance of our property the positive experience continued.Victor was more than happy to talk us through all aspects and options available to us, this included understanding our personal circumstances and always maintaining options that would have our best interests first.The process was simple, convenient and we could not meet someone more willing to help and answer questions, giving confidence at every step along the way.We could not recommend Victor and the team enough and without questions would use them again for any future finance requirements.Thank you again for all your assistance and support!Brent & Shoko

I’ve been waiting to write a review about Black Finance. First of all I would like to thank Victor and Glenn immensely for supporting us through our land and home building project.Victor Kalinowski was our main contact and we know him since Sep 2014 when he took the initiative to travel to Shepparton, Victoria to do all the paper works for our home loan. We would highly appreciate his effort and getting the work done. Our whole project was very complex as it had the pool work, landscaping, home automation and million other things apart from the high-set building. Victor helped us out consistently for the last 2 years and maintained contact by phone, text and emails continuously. Whenever there was any problem, confusion or queries, he was there for us. Victor is very professional, prompt and friendly in nature.We’re still dealing with him regarding our home valuation and few other things. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a finance broker.Thank you once again Victor for your continuous support.Kind regardsShreya and family

I would give Blackk Finance 10 stars if I could. Victor & Debbie were simply amazing!! I personally found purchasing our first home a bit scary but Victor coached us through the whole process and always managed to reassure me. He never seemed annoyed at my endless questions & was very well prepared for everything we threw at him.Thank you for not giving up on us. I know it took us a while but now thanks to you we will be enjoying Christmas poolside in our new home!! We will definitely recommend your services to all our friends and will be back the next time we’re in the market for a new home. 🙂

Victor from Blackk Finance will be my broker for as long as he wants to find me loans! I felt timid about buying my first investment property but talking to Victor about loans options and his own personal experience with property has given me the confidence to move forward. There are no questions too silly or irrelevant for Victor. He answered all my queries (over phone, email, Facebook and in person) very quickly and even though I took up countless hours of his time he has been incredibly patient with me. The loan process so far has been very stress free, as well as pressure free. I couldn't recommend Blackk Finance more strongly. Go see them, it will be the best choice you make.

I absolutely recommend this company for everyone. After everything got approved with bank, my house wasn't ready for such a long time but Victor was extremely helpful and supportive the whole time. Every time I had a small issue or a question, he was right on and tried to sort it out straight away eventually he did.I was really impressed with the way the company dealt with my case. They were trying to make sure that everything was in the right place(required documentations, progression of bank status ect) also updating every single information and the progression too quick for me.I have heard of a few bad experiences from friends with their mortgage broker so I wasn't 100% sure if I really wanted to deal with Blackk finance at the bigining but after all, I have been recommending this company to people who is looking for some help for their mortgage.I'm so glad that I have chosen Blackk Finance and here I am, I have got what I wanted with the best help and support:)Thank you so much Victor!

Victor was very helpful from the day we contacted him just to get general information about buying a house. He is very knowledgeable and was always very patient answering all our questions. Victor and his amazing team provided support along the way and after we purchased our house. I would definitely recommend Blackk Finance to all my friends and family!!

We just refinanced our home loan to get a bit of extra money to build a carport, but most importantly, to get a better interest rate. We're probably not the easiest clients Victor has ever had to deal with, but Victor found the perfect set-up for us and we are extremely happy with the outcome. Mid process we went on holidays, but not once did we have to worry about anything - despite us dropping the ball in a big way, Victor kept us informed every step of the way and I didn't have to call him even once to see where things were at. The paperwork was sent to us, clearly marked where we had to sign and it was all just so easy. Thank you Victor! Would recommend Blackk Finance to anyone looking for a better deal and a stress free transaction!

We have known Victor Kalinowski for some years. We were introduced to him by an Australia-wide Real Estate Investment training company. Almost immediately we felt very comfortable in his presence. We soon learnt that Victor is very honest person. He has helped us with two major investments which were executed very profesionally and promptly. Nothing is ever too much trouble for Victor. He has a wonderful personality and we have come to know him on a more personal level. At no time have we ever felt pressured or stressed during the process. We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Victor to anybody who wants a truly professional and very switched on Mortgage Broker. K & D

My wife and I were looking for a broker after seeing the house we thought it was perfect for us. The right size, price and even street! So we found Blackk Finance when researching online and went to meet Victor. See, we were not just first home buyers but we also had no idea about how mortgages work. To top that, I’ve just started working as self-employed photographer and financial institutions don’t exactly love that.After reviewing our situation, Victor said we could try it but it would be complicated so we went ahead and made an offer for the property. A few days later our solicitor (who’s amazing and was Victor’s recommendation) had contracts signed and everything was ready and perfect for us to apply for the loan. Victor has lots of contacts and sadly when it was time for us to apply, a little situation started in Australia and the banks got spooked. So there we were, contract signed, first deposit paid, building inspections done and so on, and the banks saying no before we could even apply for a loan - and Victor trying every single magic spell mankind has ever heard of (and some probably only he knows).Day in, day out, Victor tried EVERYTHING. In the end, there was a chance and we decided to go for it, only to see it declined by the banks. While my wife and I were frustrated and sad, Victor has never for a second given up. And for that we are forever thankful. Mind you, this was all happening in the lead up to Christmas and New Years.And this was the 5 star review we were writing even though we didn’t succeed - which was entirely our fault - to Victor Kalinowski, first of his name, wizard of Oz finance and brave restless knight.Anyone could have given up on us and it would be completely understandable. We were a very difficult case and it was a lot of work to even try getting us a loan. Most brokers would probably say “sorry, can’t help, come back in a year when you do this, this and that”, but not him. Instead he was honest and open about our chances and the work it could take, to get everything ready and still receive a no for an answer. And that’s exactly what happened: after trying everything, we accepted the fact we were not buying this house, this time.But then something changed in our situation, a little thing, and I called Victor to tell him. With the same excitement he said that would change everything and we should try. At this stage, time was really against us. For a whole week Victor worked hard to get things done in time.And here we are now, packing our stuff to get ready to move in to our new home.Victor, we cannot thank you enough, I couldn’t just write a review saying “yes he’s the best broker in town” because without explaining what we all went through together, it would be hard to make people understand how much you care and work hard. We know you could have spent your time working with easier clients and yet you haven’t stopped for a second.Thank you thank you thank you,(and Debbie)Bruno and Roberta (and Helga)

We could not have been happier with the service that Victor and his team provided. Blackk Finance is knowledgeable, professional but also very down to earth. Obviously the task of buying our first home was a daunting prospect, but Victor and his team made it a comfortable and rewarding experience. Best of all, all of their knowledge and expertise was free! Couldn't recommend this more as a means of interfacing with the banks to find a home for you. We even got our rate taken down quite a bit. Thanks for everything!

Please take a moment to read this. You may think that engaging a mortgage broker is all about them just assisting you in getting the best deal amongst the banks for your lending. You would be wrong. We have dealt with Victor and his team at Blackk Finance on two occasions and most recently to re-finance our mortgage with one of the big banks. Blackk Finance epitomises the difference between a good broker and a GREAT broker. What happened to us, we just wouldn’t have foreseen and without the integrity, thoroughness and partnership with Victor, we would have been fighting a losing battle with this lender. You see, this ‘responsible lender’ made a massive error with our loan and wouldn’t admit fault, investigate independently with a neutral view and basically covered up their errors with a web of lies. We were passed around to different ‘customer care’ consultants in an attempt to remedy the situation. Ultimately we ended up at the Financial Ombudsman. Without the thoroughness and detail that Victor and his team had ensured along the journey of the loan application – dotting i’s and crossing t’s, we wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on. Victor was always on our team, calling the bank, offering documentation of proof – his customer service, follow through and reliability went above and beyond what I would have expected. We got there in the end, we won the battle with this bank, but we just couldn’t have done it without Victor. They are a small team, with a massive heart. So, the moral of our experience is – don’t choose good, choose great. You just never know when you will need that extra support beyond the loan. Blackk Finance have been the GREAT. I can’t recommend them enough and I just can’t thank them enough either.

Victor and the team at Blackk Finance were exceptional. My boyfriend and I needed to organise finance after putting an offer on a house at the Gold Coast. They were thorough, taking the time to walk us through the process, ensuring we understood everything. We felt supported and like they had our back, knowing instantly that we'd made the right decision. We'd highly recommend Blackk Finance and will continue to have them on our side as we go forward.

He is a stand up guy with only the right advice. Thanks for the Lamb Shawarma recipe – turned out perfect, the family loved it. The new home is great also. Thanks Victor.

Upon recommendation of a couple of friends, we had spoken to Victor Kalinowski at Blackk Finance a couple of times over the past two years whilst we looked for our first home. In the beginning, when we were just starting to look seriously, Victor provided us with invaluable advice on demonstrated savings required, deposit amounts, the impact of LMI, and what documentation we’d need to provide for a loan application. We had been looking for a house for about two years and decided to give it a break for a bit - we had encountered some disappointment in the market, and our circumstances had unexpectedly changed. Of course, when we weren’t looking, we accidentally found ‘the house’. We were in a complicated situation (being a small business owner has an impact on loan options, and we had just been through a period of significant health expenses). Instead of shying away from us as a challenging client, Victor dedicated himself to understanding our circumstances and tailored loan options that would be suited to us now, and in the future. He did a lot of research and made a lot of phone calls for us, checking requirements and information, and assisting us with preparing the right documentation, to ensure we would be in a position to get the loan we needed before applying; it was kind of like a pseudo-pre-approval process. Timeframes were very tight (we had 21 days but ended up needing a 2 day extension because the lender had a backlog) and there was a lot of back and forth and gathering of documentation, but in the end, it has all been worth it. Yesterday, we picked up the keys to our very first home. Victor’s advice and support has been invaluable - he knows the lenders, he knows their products and he knows their requirements. Most importantly, he makes the effort to get to know you, and your circumstances, and appropriately match you to the best loan options. He can talk you through the pros and cons of it all, and has a great attention to detail. And for us, he went above and beyond to follow things up with solicitors and banks, even when the process had technically ended for him (thanks Victor!). We would highly recommend working with Victor for property finance, to anyone (he does residential and commercial). He’s really easy to get a hold of and has a transparent approach to his work. Thank you, Victor, for all of your hard work and perseverance with us, and helping make our dream become a reality! Rhiannon and David

Our situation was a little more difficult than most, we had a combination of it being our first property purchase, self employed and that we were buying the property we were currently renting so there was no sales agent involved to help with certain details. Victor and his team were absolutely brilliant. From the first conversation to the conclusion they made the process extremely easy to understand, follow and be informed. I had previously spoken to a number of brokers before Blackk Finance, at that time we only had a small deposit, other brokers were keen to do the deal and encouraged us to take big risks to make it happen at that time without being clear of the consequences. My first chat with Victor was simple . "Save more " So we did, got back in touch with him down the track and he exceeded our expectations with a higher deposit loan and thus lower interest. If other brokers are soldiers, Victor is a Navy SEAL . His communication is always clear, precise and professional. He knows his profession extremely well and he will make sure that you get a good deal and that you are making solid financial decision. Special thanks to Debbie as well for her efforts, extremely helpfull.

Victor and his team have been helping my wife and I for around 7 years. He impressed us from the start by flying up to Rockhampton to meet us and help to structure our loans and lending so that we could buy our dream block of land. The service continued throughout the years with Victor always approachable, friendly and willing to go the extra mile for his clients. An example of this is Victor meeting us at the airport at around 9pm at night so we could get all the documents signed to allow us to settle a property ASAP. The great thing about Victor and his team is that you don't just become a number and fade into the background after a few years. Victor always returns phone calls and has your information to hand when talking to his clients. We are now in our dream home and Victor is still helping us get the best deal possible in regards to lending, combined with great advice on how to structure the loans to get the most out of every dollar. So if you want great service and honest advice then Victor and the team at Blackk are the people for you.

Victor was the first & last mortgage broker we visited while looking for a broker. We explained our financial situation and Victor advised on various approaches in a simple easy to understand manner. Our visits & phone calls were helpful & professional throughout. At times my partner and I thought we were his only client due to his response rate! Highly recommended.

Victor is extremely approachable, friendly and professional. He instills a confidence in you that he is genuinely making suggestions based solely on your best interests.We felt very looked after by Victor and truly wondered why anyone would even bother looking for finance on their own.Even when freak complications arose, Victor worked very hard to both rectify the situation and continually communicate with us about it.I would wholeheartedly recommend that anybody looking for a home loan speak with Victor immediately.

My partner and I had been recommended by friends to contact Victor at Blackk Finance for the purchase of our first home. From the initial meet and greet late one evening to the actual purchase / finance of our property the positive experience continued.Victor was more than happy to talk us through all aspects and options available to us, this included understanding our personal circumstances and always maintaining options that would have our best interests first.The process was simple, convenient and we could not meet someone more willing to help and answer questions, giving confidence at every step along the way.We could not recommend Victor and the team enough and without questions would use them again for any future finance requirements.Thank you again for all your assistance and support!Brent & Shoko

I would give Blackk Finance 10 stars if I could. Victor & Debbie were simply amazing!! I personally found purchasing our first home a bit scary but Victor coached us through the whole process and always managed to reassure me. He never seemed annoyed at my endless questions & was very well prepared for everything we threw at him.Thank you for not giving up on us. I know it took us a while but now thanks to you we will be enjoying Christmas poolside in our new home!! We will definitely recommend your services to all our friends and will be back the next time we’re in the market for a new home. 🙂

Victor is extremely approachable, friendly and professional. He instills a confidence in you that he is genuinely making suggestions based solely on your best interests.We felt very looked after by Victor and truly wondered why anyone would even bother looking for finance on their own.Even when freak complications arose, Victor worked very hard to both rectify the situation and continually communicate with us about it.I would wholeheartedly recommend that anybody looking for a home loan speak with Victor immediately.
