Shane Howley, Senior Mortgage Broker
15+ years helping Sydney Eastern Suburb clients find a better home loan. MFAA member. $0 broker 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 in the industry, 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 $1M, 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.
How we work
We 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
We start by understanding your financial goals, not just your immediate loan need. Whether you're building a portfolio or buying your forever home, we plan for your future.
Thorough Comparison
We 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. We explain every step in plain English and are available when you need us.
Long-Term Relationship
Our job doesn't end at settlement. We 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, we 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 our advice meets the highest professional and ethical standards.
Let's talk about your home loan
Whether you're buying your first home or refinancing an existing loan, Shane will walk you through every step. No jargon, no pressure.
