Case Study: How Stapleton Finance helped one family take the leap into their dream home

Self-Employed | 5 Aug, 2025

Sometimes, it takes something truly special to make a family consider leaving the home they love. For Emma and Luke, their home ticked almost every box. It was in a great neighbourhood. They’d renovated it to suit their family life. And it was close to the fantastic neighbours (and great friends).

Though they had their eyes open to other homes, they also knew it would take something remarkable to lure them away. But when they came across a new property just a short distance away  – with a backyard pool and the potential for years of family  fun – they knew that it was worth moving for.

Of course, like most things in life, the timing wasn’t perfect, and they needed to act quickly, within a short timeframe. So they were grateful when a friend in the industry recommended Gayle and the Stapleton Finance team to help. As home loan brokers, we provided our guidance, support and advice to help Emma and Luke make it happen – removing the angst from finance and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence.

The challenge

The sellers of the home were keen to sell quickly, and with a competitive market spurring all sales on, there were a lot of moving pieces. Emma and Luke knew they needed help to make the process easy and quick, and to make sure they got the best home loan for their circumstances. That’s where our team stepped in.

Expert support for time-sensitive property purchases

One of the key challenges Emma and Luke faced was the speed they needed to move. In today’s property market, there’s often not a lot of time between finding the right home, securing financing and finalising everything before settlement.

Moving quickly in the finance world can be challenging. But because we have relationships with our lenders, and all the home loan processes in place, we’re able to support our clients to move when they need to. Our team is set up to handle tight timeframes, and to communicate clearly and efficiently to help clients like Emma and Luke stay on track, even when the clock is ticking.

An experienced home loan broker will ensure that you’ll never be left scrambling or second-guessing. You’ve got someone by your side who understands the process and what’s required. And someone who can take the stress out of the situation. In other words, making sure that everything gets done when and how it should.

Industry knowledge makes a difference

Every home loan is different, and finding the right one means understanding far more than just the interest rates the lender will offer. You’ll also want to consider the loan structure, its unique features and the lender itself (how quickly they can move, how easy their processes are, even if they’re happy to work with self-employed or business owners). That’s where expert knowledge counts.

We loved working with Emma and Luke to ensure the loan they secured was not only competitive but also tailored to their specific needs. That’s why our motto is making home loans human. Because we believe that this kind of personalised advice doesn’t just make the process easier. It also sets up families for success in getting the home loan that suits them best.

We’re also proud of our strong relationships with a wide range of lenders. Particularly because this gives our clients access to hundreds of home loan options. We’re not tied to any one bank, which means our only priority is finding the best possible outcome for you. 

Making the process easy to understand

For many people, the mortgage process can feel overwhelming. There’s paperwork, technical terms, financial jargon and a whole host of decisions to be made. And all of this often has to be done under time pressure.

One thing our clients love is how we take the time to explain things clearly, in everyday language. They also like how we communicate quickly and speak to lenders directly, and also help them complete the paperwork too. This makes buying a home feel exciting, and not stressful.

We believe that no one should ever feel confused or in the dark about what’s happening with their loan. So we always take the time to talk things through, answer questions and ensure our clients feel confident at every stage of their home buying journey.

A family-focused future

Emma said, ‘We had a great experience working with Gayle to secure the most suitable home loan for our recent purchase. She was able to talk us through each process in a way that we could understand. She was knowledgeable, professional and able to work quickly when we had a short timeframe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gayle’s service.’
