News Corp and Fairfax real estate arms expand into mortgage broking both claiming ‘Australian firsts’

Within days of each other both Fairfax’s Domain Group and REA Group’s realestate.com.au – which is majority owned by News Corp Australia –  have diversified their offering and made big moves into the mortgage broking market.

The expansions are part of both companies’ attempts to become end-to-end solutions for consumers, who can now come to the platforms to consume real estate news, search for properties, connect with professionals and begin the home loan process.
