A broker who's genuinely been in your shoes.

Hi, I'm Shane.

"I named LoanBuddy because that's exactly what I want to be: your buddy, in your corner from first appointment all the way to settlement and beyond."

I've been helping Australians finance property for years, but my story with property started before that. In 2015 I bought my first investment property. I was hooked. I wanted to understand everything about how lending worked, how to structure borrowings strategically, and how to use finance to build a portfolio. That curiosity led me to become a mortgage broker, and I haven't looked back.

Before broking, I ran several businesses, so I understand what it means to be hands-on and to back yourself. I started out working within an established brokerage, learned the industry inside and out, and after a few years decided to build something of my own. LoanBuddy was born.

The name means something to me. A lot of brokers submit an application and go quiet. That's never been my style. What my clients tell me they value most is the communication: knowing what's happening at every stage, feeling supported, never having to chase me. From your first appointment through to settlement and the loan review years later, I want to be the person you call when you have a property finance question.

I work with property investors across NSW and Queensland: people building portfolios, bridging finance clients, and anyone tackling complex scenarios. If you're serious about property, I'd love to be your LoanBuddy.
