What are your services?
I’m a mortgage broker who helps people obtain the funds they need to:
I also provide a number of educational materials about the above topics as a free service to website visitors.
What’s your background?
I’m Suzanne Strahan, Principal of Suzanne Strahan Finance Brokers. My background is in small business. In 1982 my husband and I established “Hire me! Trailers”. We grew the business to a fleet of 450+ trailers and 40+ Pantec Trucks and Utes, with over 70 sites from Sydney to Cairns. I’ve also established three successful laundromat businesses. Coming from a small business background, I was often in the position of applying for finance. I learnt first-hand what it can be like to visit multiple banks and nervously wait for the results of loan applications.
I also knew that I could facilitate the process for others to make it faster, easier and less stressful to obtain finance. That’s why I made the change to mortgage broking a few years ago.
I’m an Accredited Member of the Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) & The Credit Ombudsman Service Limited (COSL).
I also buy and renovate investment property in and around Brisbane.
How much does do your services cost?
My service is free of charge. I’m paid a commission by financial institutions themselves.
Where are you located?
I’m a long-term resident of Samford, Brisbane and I focus on serving clients in the Brisbane area.
How are you different from other Mortgage Brokers?
I’m different from other mortgage brokers because I specialise in arranging finance for first home buyers. Although I am able to help you arrange other types of finance (e.g for debt consolidation or investment purposes), I get a real thrill out of helping my clients make their first home purchase.
I would like to think that my personal service is superior to most other mortgage brokers you’re likely to meet. I come to you, listen to your objectives and work extremely hard to help you achieve the best possible outcome.
I also understand that buying your own home or an investment property can be an exciting and sometimes tense experience. I keep in touch with you throughout the whole process to ensure that you’re kept “in the loop”. And I always return your calls promptly – you won’t be left hanging.
You may be concerned that some mortgage brokers are more concerned about their commissions than the best deal for you. My policy is quite simple: if a particular product is the best match for you and your situation, then that’s the product I recommend.
I pride myself on making the process of obtaining finance faster and easier when you use my services.
How can you help me?
I can help you obtain the funds you need to buy your first home, invest in property or consolidate debts. I also publish a number of Free Reports that explain most of the key points about these areas. They are available for download on this website with no cost or obligation.
If you have any questions, or you’d like to take advantage of my obligation-free property finance consultation, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
