Cornell Finance is your trusted partner in achieving your finance goals
Angela Cornell is the Director and leading Mortgage Broker of Cornell Finance, based on the Gold Coast and working remotely with clients Australia-wide.
Angela is driven to provide clients with an impeccable level of service and commitment. Whether you are a first-time buyer, looking to expand your property portfolio, or seeking to secure the best possible deal on your mortgage, Angela is your trusted partner in achieving your financial goals.
Getting a loan approved is a very small part of what brokers do. We look at the bigger picture, helping you achieve outstanding outcomes in property and finance. Mortgage brokers are more than just ‘loan writers’ and together as a collaborative team we can do so much more for you and the long-term wealth of your family.
Yes, you can obtain a loan at a local bank– but how confident are you in that service?
- Do they act in your best interest? We do – brokers are governed by Best Interest Duty (BID) to act under best interest of the client whilst banks are not
- Do they have expertise and access across 50 different banks and lenders? We do – under BID requirements brokers must provide the most suitable loan options from their panel of accredited lenders
- Do they actively reprice your rate throughout the life of your loan? We do – our service does not end at settlement and will actively reprice your loan with your lender and can review options at anytime
As a key trusted partner, Angela manages the entire process from initial conversation through to settlement and beyond with a clear understanding of your current circumstances and future goals and providing guidance to ensure you are always fully informed and focus on building long-term relationships.

What does a broker do?
A broker is a financial expert who collaborates with you individually to understand your borrowing objectives and evaluate how much you can borrow. They usually offer a more customised service than lenders and have access to a range of loans from various providers, enabling them to identify the most suitable loan terms for your specific needs.
Do you charge fees for home or investment loans?
When you secure a loan through a broker, there are no additional repayments or fees involved. Brokers receive a commission from the lender for bringing in new clients, but this does not influence your interest rate or other loan terms.
Is it more expensive to use a broker?
Engaging a broker incurs no cost to you, as the lender compensates the broker. With access to a wide array of loan options from multiple lenders, brokers will help you find the most suitable loan based on your situation. Typically, this includes the best available rate at that time along with features that suit your preferences.
Some brokers may impose service fees, which will be disclosed prior to offering their services.
How much can I borrow?
While our borrowing calculator offers a useful estimate of your potential borrowing capacity, for a more accurate evaluation, we encourage you to reach out to our team. We can discuss your options and explore your unique circumstances in greater detail.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate?
As the term indicates, variable-rate home loans feature interest rates that fluctuate over time. They often provide greater flexibility compared to other loan types, including features like redraw facilities and the ability to make extra payments. However, repayment amounts are not fixed.
Conversely, fixed-rate home loans offer predictable monthly repayments, allowing you to know exactly how much you will pay each month for the entire loan term. While these loans may lack some flexibility in features, they provide borrowers with reassurance when it comes to budgeting for repayments.
When deciding which loan type suits you best, consider whether flexibility or certainty regarding your monthly payments is more important to you.
Which lenders do you collaborate with?
Thanks to our affiliation with a mortgage aggregator, we have access to loan options from over 40 different lenders. This allows us to assist you in finding various suitable options tailored to your particular circumstances.
