Our Brokers
Marc Barlow
Melbourne CBD
I have been a professional lender for 28 years. After beginning my career in 1990 with a UK Building Society, I moved to Australia where I held several different retail banking roles. In 1999 it became clear to me that a mortgage broker would eventually become an obvious choice for someone looking for a home loan so I took the plunge and became an independent broker and I haven’t looked back!
In my 18 years mortgage broking I have helped arrange too many loans to count but I still love my work because I am able to save people time, effort and money. The role never gets old because each scenario is quite different from the last. I hold a Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking Management and am expert ready to handle even the most complex loan scenario.
I enjoy working especially with first home buyers / first time investors as I feel the experience I have gained over almost 30 years really adds value to the transaction for someone who hasn’t been through the process before. It is highly rewarding to initially deliver the great news to a client they are pre-approved then eventually to share in their journey searching for and purchasing their first home. I make sure my clients are well informed and that I am always available to answer any questions they may have at any stage. I can also apply my knowledge to ensure the best possible lending structure is taken at all times.
Kristen
Melbourne CBD and Inner Suburbs
I have lived and breathed the lending industry for 14 years. During this time I have worked closely with both individuals and businesses to achieve their financial, personal and career goals. What I love most about what I do is the relationships. Helping people buy their first homes is a privilege. Fast forward a few years – helping those same valued clients grow into a bigger home as their lives progress is an honour. I don’t just help people buy their dream homes though. I am also a commercial finance broker with expertise in all aspects of business lending so whether you need a new home, a new piece of equipment, a new car, perhaps you want to buy the building your business is operating out of or maybe you would like to set up a new and exciting venture from scratch, I am experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about making all of these dreams come true.

My work experience entails of multiple home loan support roles and direct home lending teams within the banking & finance industry for over 8 years. I enjoy the interaction and assistance I provide to clients to help them get a kickstart into the property market, upgrading their property, finding a new property investment opportunity or to save them money. I look forward to working with clients to help meet their individual lending needs by matching and tailoring lending solutions and finding workable solutions to their financial aspirations of Australian home ownership. I am passionate about this and feel a great deal of satisfaction from helping our clients to thrive and achieve success together.
I was born and raised in Melbourne, where I grew up watching my parents start and build their own family business. It has shown me the value of respect, care and appreciation when connecting with clients. I appreciate being part of the Mortgage Broker Melbourne where I completely believe in the culture and dedication for our clients, where both our clients and staff are truly cared for.
My partner and I recently married, and we share our love for pets, with an obsession to our newest addition of a rescued and adopted kitty; Gucci. During my leisure time, I enjoy road trips and exploring the great outdoors. I love to eat (often with my eyes!) and I’m fond of delving into cooking up feasts at home.

Edward
North and West Melbourne
A specialist in helping people buy their first home or investment property.
With a young family, I understand how challenging it is to buy in your preferred suburb and get ahead in life. This is why I am passionate about educating and assisting people with buying their first home or investment property.
I believe a mortgage broker’s role is to listen and understand a customer’s full story. No matter what your circumstances may be, I will optimise your debt structure and get on the right path to living in your ideal home, in your ideal suburb and achieving your long term property goals.
My #1 goal is to get at 5-star review from every client by making this sometimes stressful and testing experience as smooth as possible and continuing to provide exceptional on-going service.
In my spare time, I take my family for walks along the bay, rivers and in dog-friendly parks. I also potter around the garden with the kids learning how grow herbs and vegetables. When I get a chance, I love a hit of tennis, snooker, a surf or to get to the footy to see the Pies.
