Do you also help with investment properties for Punjabi families building wealth?

Yes — we help with first home through to multi-property investment portfolios.

Is Punjabi language support free?

The real challenge

Punjabi-speaking lenders are rare in Australian mainstream banks. Most Sydney mortgage brokers don't speak Punjabi. So Punjabi families navigating the home loan system often have to rely on translation by family members, which works for basic conversations but breaks down for technical loan structures.

Punjabi families also commonly involve elders in property decisions — language support makes that conversation much smoother.

How Mortgagefy helps

Mortgagefy provides Punjabi-speaking support for Sydney Punjabi families. We explain home loan concepts (LMI, offset, guarantor, serviceability) in Punjabi or English-Punjabi mix, with cultural context.

We know which lenders work well for Punjabi truck drivers (owner-operator ABN income), Punjabi business owners (transport, restaurants, retail), and IT professionals on visas. Free advice, no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

We use offer letters and vesting schedules to value RSUs conservatively. We present current vesting value + projected future vesting as a 3-5 year income average. This gives lenders confidence in your income stability while accounting for market volatility.

Both. We work with W2 employees, 1099 contractors, and consultants. For contractors, we use 2 years of tax returns plus business financials. We have lenders who specialise in contractor income—they understand the variability.

Unvested options have zero value for refinancing. We count only vested equity. If you have a 4-year vest, we use 25% of the grant value (what's vested) plus a conservative projection of future vesting.

If you've been in your new role 6+ months, most lenders will refinance. We'll use your offer letter plus 6 months of pay stubs. If less than 6 months, it's harder but possible with specialist lenders.

Yes, if you have 2+ years of bonus history. We average the past 2 years and present it conservatively. Some bonuses get counted at 50% to be conservative with variable compensation.

ESPP is counted as deferred compensation. If your company matches or you have a discount, we value it as part of total compensation package.
