Mortgage Broker

Simona is a people-focused and approachable broker with 20-plus years’ experience in the finance industry.

After working as a lending manager in major banks, she wanted to use her expertise to help clients attain their property goals, and joined husband Dennis Mrljak in opening a mortgage broking franchise.


With her extensive knowledge of the various lending structures and policies available to today’s borrowers, Simona can assist with all areas of mortgage lending – from taking first-home buyers through the ropes to establishing complex mortgage-minimisation structures.


“Being able to make an informed decision is crucial for a client seeking a mortgage,” explains Simona. “So I try very hard to provide our clients with all the alternatives to enable them to make the right choices.


“The best aspect of the job is dealing with clients and helping them to structure their loans – and telling clients they have had approval always makes my day!”
