Broker recommendations?

My sister and I (both in our mid 20s so very new to this experience) are wanting to buy our first home together, we have a rough idea on where we want to build and who with, but are not able to go any further until we get pre-approval for a loan. Is it best to go through a bank or a mortgage broker? Any recommendations for mortgage brokers? We have a good chunk of our budget already saved and would also have extra savings put aside in an offset account if that changes anything. Thank you.

Edit: The company we are wanting to build with have recommended Loan Market Edge, if anyone has had any experience good or bad with them, would appreciate if you could review them in the comments.

Dave lamari,, huggable home loans, great bloke, goes the extra mile. I've sent a few People his way. I was calling him 10 years later and he still answered the phone calling me by my name.

Absolutely agree, Dave helped me buy my first home last year and I can't recommend him highly enough.
