BOOKKEEPING

Dinah brings together decades of experience in management and consulting, ranging across diverse financial businesses, not-for-profit organisations, sporting clubs and schools in making sure what we promise is delivered to our clients, and to our other stakeholders. With formal education AND mortgage broking qualifications, whether it is your loan documents, our online educational courses, or financial compliance, she’s got it totally covered.

The Journey to Where we are Today

Starting off with humble beginnings in a spare bedroom of our home (with 3 kids, a job and a consulting business between us), the mortgage broking business that is now Home Finance Hub was born in late 2008. In the early days, we were part of a mortgage franchise group, but when the franchisor went broke – we launched out on our own, with our own business - that is now Home Finance Hub.

As we’ve grown and business has evolved, we’ve worked out of co-working spaces, coffee shops and lounge rooms, had an external office of our own, and now operate from a separate home office from our residence in Corlette. We work with clients from all over the country (we literally have clients in every state in Australia), so having a shopfront has never been a burning need for us.

Our expertise has grown to incorporate our core of home and investment property finance, to motor vehicle/equipment finance and personal loans as well as emerging finance solutions to meet the needs of small business.

We’ve learnt to craft solutions for our clients’ needs, no matter where they are, and we utilize technology to achieve that as best we can. We’re looking forward to continued evolution in our business, and in the finance industry in which we are engaged - so that we can continue to meet the growing needs of our clients.

A Mortgage Broker You Can Trust

We value

Integrity, Transparency , Education

Experience, Qualifications, Choice

Integrity - Integrity is our most important value. It is our mission to act in your best interests to fulfill your objectives while complying with all the laws under which we operate. You need to know that someone working for you has your best interests as front of mind, and that they are true to their word.

Transparency - You need to know what is going on, and no-one likes nasty surprises. Our promise is to be up-front with everything - fees, commissions, interest rates - everything. Transparency in banking is a value that we treasure, and we look for it in the financial institutions with which we deal as well.

Education - Educating our clients on how the system works enables us to add lasting value to our clients. This is particularly important for first home buyers and self-employed borrowers, because there are always more hoops to jump through. It's important to know where the goal posts are and how to put the ball through them.

Experience - Our Principal, Greg Watson, has worked in the finance industry for more than 30 years, and has been a finance broker for over a decade. You can rely on that experience to ensure a rigorous analysis of your needs and numbers so that you are paired with a solution that works for you.

Qualifications - We raise the bar at Home Finance Hub, with degree qualified brokers (Greg has a Masters Degree), not just the minimum Cert IV requirements. We believe that you deserve to have a finance professional working with you - not someone who has 6 weeks' training and a certificate.

Choice - Every mortgage broker offers choice through a wide panel of lenders, and this provides a range of different policies and loan eligibility because one size definitely does not fit all. We use the range of our lenders to find the right solutions for our clients! A bank can only offer you their products.
