Real-world experience that adds value.

With over 25 years of hands-on experience in property investment, development, and renovation, I’ve built financial wellbeing through smart investing – not a big income. I’ve made mistakes, learned from them, and now use that experience to help others avoid common pitfalls and make confident financial decisions.

My point of difference? I’ve done the practical side of wealth creation, not just studied it. That real-world experience is what truly adds value to your journey.

No Cost to You

Using a broker like me costs you nothing. I’m paid by the lender, and you’ll get the same (or often better) rates than going directly to a bank.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mortgage broker?

A mortgage broker acts as an intermediary who connects you with various len ders to find the right home loan. Unlike going directly to a bank, a broker can compare dozens of options to find a competitive rate and a loan structure that suits your specific needs.

Why should I use a broker instead of my bank?

While your bank can only offer you its own products, I can compare loans from over 60 lenders, including major banks and specialist lenders. This creates competition for your business, often resulting in a better deal and a strategy tailored to you, not the bank.

How much does it cost to use your service?

There is no cost to you for my service. I am paid a commission by the lender you choose after your loan settles. My goal is to find the right loan for you, regardless of the lender.
