Did you know we have a dedicated in-house Finance service? Our resident broker Matt Collier and the Finance team can help you find the capital needed to fund your big moments in life and/or to grow your business. Here’s how they’ll work with you to achieve your greatest goals…

Sometimes we need financial assistance to get our dreams underway. Led by broker Matt Collier (Matt C), our Finance team will find you the most suitable loan to help you realise your dreams – big and small. And we do far more than just home loans.

Introducing Matt C

If you haven’t met Matt before – allow us to introduce him. Matt has been our finance broker extraordinaire for the past two years. In that time, he’s helped many of our clients unlock the finance needed to purchase their dream family home, tackle a long-awaited home renovation, make investments and other life-changing purchases.

Matt has extensive experience in senior-level management across a variety of industries. Not only is he a genuinely kind person and easy to work with, Matt’s great at what he does and he takes pride in his ability to land you the best deal. Matt loves his job and the way he can help you reach your goals in business or in life. He particularly enjoys it when clients tell him that the loan application process was much easier and more pleasant than they expected!

In terms of qualifications, Matt holds a Certificate IV in Mortgage Broking and Finance (Kaplan); a Graduate Certificate in Accounting (University of Southern Queensland); and an Advanced Diploma of Accounting (TAFE). In his spare time, Matt enjoys playing golf and all-things sport. He also enjoys good food and wine.

The idea of applying for a loan is daunting for many people. If you feel that way, Matt C is here to put your mind at ease. He’ll walk you through the process so you feel confident every step of the way.

Whether it's upgrading your home, buying a new car, expanding your business, or planning your next adventure, Matt, along with our Finance team, offers personalised solutions to suit every need.

Here are the types of loans our Finance team can assist you with:

• Residential home loans

• Asset and equipment loans

• SME cashflow solutions

• Personal loans

• SMSF loans

• Commercial loans

Importantly, unlike your bank, Matt looks at your loans every time you have an annual review. Additionally, Matt receives ‘special’ offers from the banks from time to time. And when he does, he’ll check to see if it offers you better value than your existing loan. Research shows that most people seek a good rate on their home loan when first taking out the loan, but don’t pay the same level of attention thereafter.i When you’re a client of Matt’s, he’ll regularly review your loan so you know you’ve got the best deal without having to give it a second thought.  

In addition to loans, our Finance team offers the following services:

Insurance with Allianz: Competitive rates on car, home, contents, and landlord insurance. With access to broker rates, there could be potential savings for you.

Car buying service via Car Connect: Save time and money by letting our connections source the best deals Australia-wide.

Property buying service: Struggling to find the perfect home or investment property? Our expert partner Astrid Joarder at Bought Agency can help you find the right property to suit your needs.

Looking to sell your home?: Our partner, The Avenue, can help. Based in Bella Vista, Chris and Renee De Celis lead a team of real estate and sales experts.
