Why we introduce them
Ed spent ten years inside Commonwealth Bank, moving from mortgage lending through premier banking to senior relationship management, before crossing to broking. That history means he reads a lender's decision the way an insider does, and now he puts it to work for the client across a panel of more than thirty banks. He structures loans around the build ahead, pre-approvals that hold and progress payments that arrive on time. That blend of insider knowledge and client-side independence is exactly what we want beside an owner financing a build.
