Michael Brown

Sydney Area

Principal

You would think that after 30 years in the finance industry Michael would have had enough of banks. However, utilising his extensive experience along with his passion for helping people, his commitment to delivering great outcomes for satisfied customers remains undiminished.

 

Michael’s experience in the loan market is wide-ranging. He has helped countless young couples and singles access the finance they need to purchase their first homes and guided them through the entire buying process from start to finish. His strong understanding of business means that self-employed clients are a real niche for him and he has sourced loans for applicants who own all types of businesses from sole operators to large enterprises. The strength of the long-standing relationships Michael has built over the years has seen him help multiple generations within the same family navigate the lending market.

 

If you asked Michael what his career highlight has been, it would be easy to assume it was one of the high-profile loans he has arranged, such as successfully financing the purchase of a multi-million dollar shopping centre. Yet he got just as much satisfaction from getting a small loan over the line for some older clients purchasing a home, despite them being repeatedly knocked back in the past.

 

He believes that it in today’s climate it is not enough to have just have a strong policy knowledge of the various lenders.  Michael has a comprehensive understanding of the entire financing process and the factors that influence the loan market beyond the specific bank requirements, all of which contribute to a better outcome for both first time buyers and sophisticated borrowers alike.

 

When he’s not in the office you can usually find Michael on the soccer fields – don’t expect a call from him on Saturday afternoons when his team is playing! Spending time with his family is important to him, at least once he’s finished the crossword, and they love visiting the beach together or indulging in Michael’s favourite treat – eating ice-cream!

 

You can feel confident that you are in a safe pair of hands when you deal with Michael.

Customer reviews

Interest rates are usually the first thing people look at when choosing a loan. And while rates are a big consideration, they’re not the only thing. Fixed or variable; offset facility; credit cards and rewards; the ability to make extra payments, and much more … it’s notoriously difficult to work it out. We’ve got the experience, industry knowledge and up-to-the-minute software to make sure you don’t miss out on a great deal. You focus on the right property; we’ll focus on the right loan.

It’s your choice

Many people still do their banking with the same bank they used as a child. And lots of people make the mistake of staying put when it comes time to finding a loan. By looking at a much broader range of lenders, you’ll be more likely to find the loan that best suits you. Changing banks is a hassle, but saving thousands of dollars isn’t! Let us help narrow down the options and push for the best deal.
