SUBSCRIBE ONiTunesHi, thanks for visiting the website. Long Property is an award winning mortgage broking firm focussed on quality.
My personal journey began in 2008 at UBS (investment banking). In 2015 I began educating homebuyers and property investors via my Long Property blog – this then became my popular real estate investment book, and then the current business we have today.
In 2020 we were recognised by Mortgage Professional Australia as being among the top 5 mortgage brokers in Australia (out of over 16,000 brokers). We have also been shortlisted as finalist for ‘best residential broker’ at the main industry awards for the last 3 years in a row.
You can reach out via LinkedIn, or you can book a call or meeting here >>

We look for every opportunity to help our clients, staff and referral partners – well beyond just the standard mortgage process. Good things happen to good people. Kindness is universal.
GWe look for great clients to work with, then we go above and beyond to deliver the best possible outcomes/ experiences for them, and then we keep in touch (it’s unfortunate how many clients get forgotten about once their loans have settled). Nearly 100% of our new business comes from ‘word-of-mouth referrals’, this speaks to the strength of our relationships, and why we take them seriously.
RRather than being all things to everyone, we just want to do the one thing – finance/ mortgage broking – and we want to do it incredibly well. We’re not volume driven, we’re more like the private banking model… knowledgeable, responsive, detail orientated. A red-carpet/ VIP service for great clients.
OIf we don’t enjoy the work then we can’t deliver on any of the above. Being aware of this helps us attract the right people, and it also helps us maintain a positive internal culture. We have the highest personal work standards but we’re also balanced in our approach and we have an upbeat office. We’re either helping our clients save money or buy their desired properties… it is very rewarding.
W1 We specialise in home loans, investment loans, construction loans and commercial finance.
Call us on 1300 005 664 or enquire online (we respond within 24 hrs).
2 We discuss your financing options and determine an appropriate strategy. If required we refer you to other specialists (buyers advocates, tax specialists, solicitors etc.).
3 We deliver best practice execution. We ‘over communicate’ so all your questions get answered and you always know exactly where you stand in the process.
4 We keep in touch and provide regular news and insights via our monthly newsletter. We meet at least annually to ensure your needs are always adequately being met.
The reason clients choose us is best summarised via the diagram below:
