I have over 20 years experience in financial services having held managerial positions with Westpac, Suncorp and NAB. Aside from this, I have also held State Management positions with a non-bank lender and with one of Australia’s largest complimentary medicine companies (just to prove that I am adaptable!)

I don’t want to be considered just a specialist in mortgages. I am a ‘generalist’ broker with a broad offering. I have extensive experience in car and equipment finance products, personal loans and consumer leasing, commercial finance and so on. It’s one thing being involved in lending, it’s also another thing to protect people from the unexpected. I can also assist with personal insurance ranging from mortgage protection, income protection and life insurance. I also offer access to Home and Contents and motor insurance products.

Over the years I have built a network of professionals such as lawyers, accountants, real estate agents, buyer’s agents and investment property strategists. Access to a network of knowledgeable and experienced professionals can make such a difference to a client’s experience.

My qualifications consist of a Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management, Certificate IV in Financial Services and Certificate IV in Credit Management.

In my pursuit to have clients remain with me for the long term (and refer me to others!), I will do my very best and go above and beyond the usual to make things happen in a timely, transparent and painless way.

- Brett & Natalia, Tweed Heads South, NSW

To find a Broker with so much passion for their clients is rare. Craig took the opportunity to understand my financial situation, needs and desired outcome. I felt that I was his only client at the time, as he took the time to explain the entire process, taking away the stressful part of me having to obtain my own finances to purchase my first home. He explored all options to ensure that I got the best deal and package after exploring various lenders. Craig was only ever a phone call, text or email away!

- Kylie, Oakey, Qld

We were looking at buying before Covid-19 hit and ended up purchasing during Covid-19. Craig was fantastic the whole way through keeping us updated on what seemed to be daily changes from the banks and government legislation and stimulus packages. I would highly recommend using Craig for any mortgage-related needs.

- Michael, Tugun, QLD

Craig has helped me and my partner get our first home loan when we had close to no credit history. Its wasn’t easy but he got things done. He has maintained confidence and a positive attitude throughout the process, which really helped us psychologically. About a year later, after some credit was built u, Craig contacted us and helped us get a refinance at a much lower interest rat, leaving us with a lot more cash flow. He’s a very bright and positive person who is reachable and to the point. I recommend him without a hesitation to anyone who needs (re)/financing.

As soon as we heard about our friends refinancing on a great interest rate and cash back we immediately contacted Craig Finney to see if we were in a position to do the same thing. Craig investigated all of the options for us. He came back with exactly what we were looking for and helped us apply for the loan. In the end we reduced our interest rate and mortgage repayments, got a great cash back incentive, reduced the term of our loan by 7 years and will be save at least $170000 over the life of the loan. Craig made the whole process so smooth and took all the headache out for us. We have already recommended him to several of our friends. Thanks Craig.

- Phillip, Ormeau Hills, QLD
