Rhys joined Mortgage Choice in 2021, bringing with him a unique background from five years in education at a private school on the Mornington Peninsula. His passion for property began with the purchase of his first home in 2020, prompting him to pursue a career change by studying throughout the pandemic. Now, as an experienced mortgage broker, Rhys owns multiple investment properties himself and draws from his personal journey to guide clients through the complexities of the home-buying process. In July 2024, Rhys was thrilled to be announced as a new business partner at Mortgage Choice Cheltenham. 

Having faced his own challenges entering the property market, Rhys is particularly committed to helping first-home buyers understand the preparation needed for a successful home loan application. He has already assisted many young clients in realising their dream of home ownership and finds immense satisfaction in his role.

When he's not working, Rhys enjoys spending time outdoors, whether playing cricket, relaxing at the beach with his partner, or diving into the latest investment property book.

Mortgage Broker

"The best part of being a mortgage broker is being involved in what is often one of the biggest achievements in a person's life, that's a fantastic reward"

Initially my role is often one of guidance and understanding in what is a very rewarding yet sometimes stressful period. My aim is to alleviate some of those stresses and to make the process as smooth as possible. This is achieved through good planning and communication.

I really thrive on the technical aspects of structuring and creating the right loan for each unique situation, taking in to consideration not only the short term but also long term goals. It doesn't matter if it is setting up a multi purchase investment strategy or the purchase of your first home, my aim to deliver positive experiences through mortgage solutions.

This blend of knowledge and experience ensures he is well equipped to skillfully assist each of his clients with all of their finance needs.

Craig has a particular interest in helping first home buyers and first time property investors to set off on the right foot. He is fully aware of the importance and long-term ramifications of putting the right loan structure in place from the earliest time possible. Part of Craig's service is to sort through and pinpoint the most suitable home loan available for each client from the hundreds of options offered by Mortgage Choice's panel of more than 20 of Australia's biggest banks and lenders.

Craig works closely with many other team members at Mortgage Choice and also our loan progress team, which results in an efficient and professional service for each one of his clients.
