Who is Loan Wize?
Loan Wize began in July 2009 when two friends – Tammy Lee (nee Gifford) and Jon Colley decided to merge their existing businesses. Both have had extensive experience within the Banking and Finance industry and are also passionate property investors, and have been working as Mortgage and Finance Brokers since 2005. One of their passions is to help educate people in realising their property investment goals, particularly in property investment, by providing ongoing quality advice and information to their clients to assist them in this area.
And it’s not just residential mortgages that we specialise in! Jon has extensive experience in commercial finance as well, assisting many clients to maximise their relationship with their commercial lenders, and ensure that they are always competitively priced. While Tammy is an expert when it comes to motor vehicle and equipment finance options for business owners, providing a quality service to ensure that you are getting the best finance deal possible that is structured perfectly for your business requirements.
If you are looking for a Mortgage and Finance Broker with a professional difference, one that cares about you and your family, and one that provides recommendation based on all of your personal information to ensure your finance is tailored specifically for you, then you have arrived at your destination.
We have your best interests in mind and not the banks, and our recommendations take into account your personal situation, your goals and your future requirements as well. We offer sound finance advice, not just sell you a product. Our goal is to make the process easy and take the stress out of dealing with a lender.
