Mortgage brokers on the Gold Coast.
Maxfin's two brokers are based on the northern Gold Coast — the firm at Hope Island, Rebecca Tickner in Surfers Paradise — and have arranged lending across the city since 2004. Local when you want to meet in person, Australia-wide by video when you don't.
The local picture
One city, several very different lending markets.
The northern corridor
Hope Island, Sanctuary Cove, Paradise Point and Runaway Bay mix canal-front homes, golf-course estates and resort or community-title property. Title type and higher-value securities change which lenders are comfortable — structure and lender selection do the heavy lifting here.
The high-rise strip
Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach and Southport are apartment markets. Lenders apply different rules in high-density postcodes — building exposure caps, minimum internal sizes for smaller units, and different treatment of short-stay rental income. The right lender depends on the building as much as the borrower.
The family suburbs
Helensvale, Pacific Pines, Coomera and the growth corridor carry most of the city's first-home and upgrader activity, including construction lending on new builds — progress payments, fixed-price contracts and valuation timing all need managing.
Working with us
Both brokers handle the full spectrum — home, investment, refinancing, self-employed, business and commercial. Meet locally on the Gold Coast, or work with us entirely by video from anywhere in Australia.

Common questions
Asked in Gold Coast.
Where on the Gold Coast are you based?
The firm is based at Hope Island on the northern Gold Coast, and Rebecca Tickner is based in Surfers Paradise. We meet Gold Coast clients in person and work with clients Australia-wide by video.
What does using a broker cost?
For most residential lending there is no fee to you — we are paid commission by the lender when your loan settles. If a transaction is unusually complex a fee can apply, agreed with you upfront in writing before any work starts.
Which lenders can you access?
We compare lending across a panel of 30+ lenders we hold accreditation with, from major lenders to specialist funders. The recommendation is driven by our Best Interests Duty — mortgage brokers have a legal duty to put your interests first when providing credit assistance.
Do you only work with Gold Coast property?
No. Maxfin arranges lending on property anywhere in Australia, and many of our clients are interstate. The Gold Coast is simply home.
