AJ Home Loans Gladstone expands services as property prices surge across the region. With house prices up 74% in five years, the brokerage helps buyers and investors secure financing quickly and confidently. Local expertise and no broker fees set the firm apart.
-- Gladstone, QLD - August 2025 - With regional property markets across Queensland surging, AJ Home Loans Gladstone has announced an expansion of services to meet rising demand from first-home buyers and property investors. The move comes as Gladstone’s housing market continues to outperform expectations, with house and unit prices experiencing some of the strongest growth in the state.
According to recent data from ABC News and regional property analysts, median house prices in Gladstone have now reached approximately $520,000, marking a 74% increase over the past five years. Unit prices have followed suit, recording an astonishing 97% rise since 2020. Asking prices climbed above $535,000 in Q4 2024 alone, signalling intense competition and limited supply across the market.
As homes continue to sell rapidly and lenders tighten conditions, the role of independent mortgage brokers has never been more critical. AJ Home Loans Gladstone has responded by increasing support hours, expanding lender access, and improving tools designed to speed up the pre-approval and application process.
Founded and operated by mortgage specialist Coral Jacobs, AJ Home Loans Gladstone is a locally owned brokerage that offers tailored mortgage advice without charging brokerage fees. The firm works directly with a broad panel of lenders to match clients with competitive home loan options that align with their personal and financial goals.
The company was recently recognised as Gladstone’s top mortgage brokerage by the 2025 Quality Business Awards, achieving a verified customer satisfaction score exceeding 95%. This recognition follows more than two decades of industry experience and a strong reputation built on transparency, flexibility, and a community-first approach.
Gladstone’s current market conditions are pushing many would-be buyers to act quickly, and delays in pre-approval or financing can result in missed opportunities. To meet this challenge, AJ Home Loans Gladstone has invested in improving its online home loan calculator, allowing potential buyers to estimate borrowing capacity instantly and reduce delays in decision-making.
In addition to standard loan comparisons and application support, the brokerage also provides specialist services for refinancing, debt consolidation, and investment property loans. Clients also benefit from flexible consultation hours, with appointments available between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm to accommodate busy work schedules.
Recent feedback from the community highlights the need for service providers who understand the local landscape and provide timely, honest advice. While many national lenders and franchise brokerages operate with generic processes or remote staff, AJ Home Loans takes pride in offering personalised, one-on-one service from a long-time Gladstone local who knows the market and its unique demands.
The foundation of AJ Home Loans Gladstone is built on the mentorship and legacy of respected mortgage broker John Whitten, former operator of Independent Home Loans and Individual Home Loans Gladstone. Founder Coral-Lee Jacobs trained directly under Whitten, learning not only the technical aspects of lending but the importance of integrity, ethics, and client-first service. Whitten’s guidance during periods of significant market volatility in Gladstone—particularly during the LNG boom and bust—instilled in Jacobs a deep commitment to transparency and responsible lending.
That same principled approach now defines AJ Home Loans Gladstone, ensuring that every client receives honest advice and personal support grounded in decades of local experience.
The company has also made efforts to support vulnerable residents, offering discounts for Seniors Card and Carer Card holders. These initiatives reflect a broader commitment to ensuring that financial support is accessible to those who need it most, particularly as cost-of-living pressures rise alongside property values.
As the property cycle enters a high-velocity phase, borrowers are increasingly seeking strategic guidance to navigate complex approval processes, compare loan features, and lock in favourable interest rates before market conditions shift again.
“Speed and accuracy in loan structuring are no longer luxuries — they’re essential,” said one independent market analyst. “Gladstone is moving fast, and local brokers with deep lender relationships are now one of the most valuable assets for any buyer.”
AJ Home Loans Gladstone is uniquely positioned to fill that gap, combining local insights with a no-pressure, no-fee model that prioritises long-term client outcomes over short-term commissions.
As the company scales operations to support increased demand, new digital tools, additional lender options, and enhanced client support channels are being rolled out progressively over the second half of 2025.
