Shane Howley, Senior Mortgage Broker
15+ years as a mortgage broker helping Sydney Eastern Suburbs clients find a better home loan. MFAA member. $0 brokerage fee. Based in Coogee.
Your mortgage, handled with care.
I started Finance Craft with a simple belief: that finding the right home loan should be straightforward, transparent, and stress-free. Over 15 years as a mortgage broker, I've seen how confusing and time-consuming the process can be, and I've made it my mission to change that for my clients.
I work directly with you from first conversation through to settlement, keeping you informed at every step, speaking plainly, and always putting your best interests first. I specialise in larger and more complex loans, particularly those above $2 million, where lender selection and structuring can make a significant difference to your outcome.
When I'm not helping clients navigate the finance and property market, you'll find me on the beaches of Coogee or at one of the local cafes with my wife and dog. The community is why I care so much about the work I do.
Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management. MFAA member for over 15 years. Credit Representative 480499 under Australian Credit Licence 384704. Finance Craft is a member of Finsure, Australia's fastest growing mortgage aggregator network, which backs the 30+ lender panel.
How I work
I believe great broking is about more than finding a low rate. It's about understanding your goals and building a lending strategy around them.
Goal-First Approach
I start by understanding your financial goals, not just your immediate loan need. Whether you're building a portfolio or buying your forever home, I plan for your future.
Thorough Comparison
I search across 30+ lenders to find the right combination of rate, flexibility, and features for your situation. No shortcuts, no favourites.
Clear Communication
You'll always know where your application is up to. I explain every step in plain English and am available when you need me.
Long-Term Relationship
My job doesn't end at settlement. I check in annually to make sure your loan is still working for you, and to give you an update on the current market.
Fast Turnarounds
In a fast-moving market, speed matters. If you have an urgent requirement such as an upcoming auction, I can prioritise your application to get you pre-approved ASAP.
Fully Compliant
Shane has a Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management, MFAA accredited over 15 years, with all applicable licences. You can trust that my guidance meets the highest professional and ethical standards.
