Finance for life's next step

For many Australians, buying a property marks the beginning of a new chapter. From first home buyers entering the market to families upgrading into a larger space, the right finance structure can shape opportunities well beyond settlement day. Funding Firm Senior Brokerage Manager Victoria Hayward says this is exactly what sits behind the company’s tagline, With you for life.

“For many clients, we first meet them when they’re buying their first home,” she says. 

“Later, they might upgrade, refinance or purchase an investment property. Our role is to support them through each of those stages.”

With almost 20 years’ experience in mortgage broking, Victoria has worked with buyers across the full property cycle. A Brisbane local with investment experience of her own, she understands both the technical and practical sides of lending.

“A loan shouldn’t just help you secure a property,” she says. 

“It should support where you’re heading financially, not just where you are today.” 

Funding Firm provides access to more than 60 lenders, from major banks through to specialist providers, allowing the team to compare options and tailor solutions based on individual circumstances.

No cost to have a conversation

Importantly, there is no cost to have a conversation.

“We’re paid by the lender our client chooses,” Victoria explains. “That means we can focus on finding the right fit and guiding clients through the process without them being out of pocket.”

For buyers building new homes, including those working with builders such as Ausbuild, early involvement can help simplify what can otherwise feel complex.

“Construction lending includes progress payments and specific lender requirements. Being involved from the beginning creates clarity and confidence.”

While home and construction loans are often the starting point, the relationship does not end there.

“As circumstances change, finance often needs to change too. That might mean refinancing, using equity to invest, exploring Self Managed Super Fund lending or even moving into commercial or business finance.”

In that sense, finance is not simply about one loan. It is about having the right support as life evolves.

• Home, construction and renovation loans
