Buying a home, selling a home and moving into a new home comes with excitement as well as anxiety. The “unknown” factor is part of what makes it so stressful and overwhelming.

A multitude of emotions is connected with the buying, selling, and moving process. It’s exciting for homeowners or potential homeowners to be involved in the process in most cases. It’s sad to leave behind neighbours and your old house or apartment. It’s nerve-racking to move into an unknown neighborhood and new home.

You always need some time to adjust to new surroundings. The best way to fit in the Parramatta area is to integrate yourself in the local community.

Parramatta Park, Westfield Parramatta, Elizabeth Park and Parramatta Stadium are a few of the local attractions to take in.

The Parramatta business district is also thriving on a daily basis so if you work in the central area, it could be a great way for you to get a feel for the place.

It is imperative that your mortgage broker has all of the necessary legal credentials. It will help to protect you to some extent if something goes wrong.

All mortgage brokers should have an Australian Credit License and their license number should be displayed on official paperwork, or when asked. They should also have professional indemnity insurance.

You can check through ASIC to ensure that their paperwork is in order and there are no misdemeanours.
