Why We Chose to Partner with Empower Wealth

At Real Estate Home Loans, trust has always been at the centre of everything we do. Many of our clients are people we’ve worked with for years — sometimes decades — helping them buy their first home, upgrade, or plan their next move.

When we explored the idea of partnering with another business, we were very clear on one thing:
the values had to align.

Empower Wealth shares our strong belief in:

  • Education before decisions
  • Long-term relationships, not quick transactions
  • Putting clients first, always

That alignment is what made this partnership the right fit.

What Stays the Same?

Let’s start with what’s not changing.

  • You’ll still deal directly with Paul and Grant
  • Real Estate Home Loans continues to operate under its trusted local brand
  • Our Ballarat presence remains the same
  • Our commitment to personalised, honest mortgage advice doesn’t change

 

In short — it’s still us, just with more support behind the scenes.

What’s New — and How It Benefits You

By joining the Empower Wealth group, we can now connect our clients with a broader range of services designed to support their full financial picture, not just their home loan.

This includes access to:

  • Property & Wealth Expertise: Support across property investment planning, buyers’ agency, financial planning, superannuation and tax — all under one group. Click here to learn more about Empower Wealth’s full suite of services >
  • National Reach, Local Care: Empower Wealth works with clients right across Australia, giving our clients access to national insights and opportunities, while still receiving local, relationship-based service.
  • Smarter Money Management with Moorr: Clients can access Moorr, a modern household money platform that helps track spending, manage goals, monitor property performance and build long-term clarity around finances.
  • Ongoing Education: Through trusted education channels like The Property Couch podcast and best-selling books, clients can continue learning at their own pace and make more confident decisions over time.

A More Holistic Way to Support You

A mortgage is just one part of the bigger financial picture.

This partnership allows us to take a more holistic view — helping you:

  • Understand where you’re at today
  • Explore what’s possible next
  • Make informed decisions backed by specialist expertise

 

If and when you need it, we can introduce you to the right specialists — without pressure or obligation.

Looking Ahead

We’re genuinely excited about what this partnership means for our clients and our region.

Real Estate Home Loans formally became part of Empower Wealth Mortgage Advisory in December 2025, and over the coming months we’ll be sharing more information about the additional services, tools and opportunities now available to our clients.

In the meantime, we encourage you to:

  • Watch the video above
  • Explore educational resources like The Property Couch podcast. Tune in on Apple Podcast, Spotify or YouTube here.
  • Reach out to Paul or Grant if you’d like to chat about what this means for you!

 

As always, we’re here to help — and we look forward to continuing the journey with you.
