Most pharmacists don't realise that some major banks offer LMI waivers specifically for AHPRA-registered pharmacists — with as little as a 5% deposit. But not all banks offer this. A specialist broker knows which lenders work in your favour.
As a pharmacist, your AHPRA registration carries more weight than you might think when it comes to home lending. Some banks recognise it and offer significant benefits — others don't.
That's why working with a broker who understands which lenders value your profession can make a significant difference to your outcome.
