Michelle specialises in assisting her clients with financing for their owner-occupied and investment properties. As an avid property investor and homeowner, she understands the complexity of a property loan.

" I'm here to do all the loan research and loan application work for my clients,” she says. “ Buying real estate is exciting – it is a real buzz, and I love seeing people achieve their property dreams.

When working with my clients, I make sure I have a clear understanding of their short and long-term goals so that, together, a solid plan to achieve these goals can be established.

Michelle believes that a good mortgage broker’s role is to help clients to find the right loan product for their ongoing needs. She has a combined 30 years’ experience in financial markets, banking and property investment and is passionate about helping people achieve their property ownership goals.

So for ‘Great Loans and Priceless Service’, contact me – I will be happy to discuss your financing needs,” she says.
