Senior Mortgage Broker
Home lending expert and experienced property investor.
Michael Burgess is a Senior Mortgage Broker at Money.com.au and an experienced property investor and real estate expert, giving him a perspective on the lending process that few other brokers can offer. His approach is direct and focused on efficiency. He cuts through complexity, communicates clearly and moves quickly to get deals done for clients.
Before transitioning to financial services and mortgage broking in 2021, Michael was a full-time property investor with hands-on experience building and managing property investments. He now leverages that experience to help Money.com.au clients achieve their own financial and property goals.
With expertise in both property investment and the lending side of the industry, Michael’s services are in high demand and he has settled more than 300 home loans since becoming a broker.
His expertise and experience span the full spectrum of borrowers, from first home buyers through to complex low-doc applications and advanced portfolio structuring.
Michael holds a Cert IV in Finance & Mortgage Broking, which is the required qualification to operate as a mortgage broker in Australia. He's a member of the Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA).
Michael's core areas of expertise include:

"Most clients come to me looking for a better rate, and while that matters, I'm also focused on the bigger picture and clients’ long-term goals. It's about structuring the loan properly so it works for you now and sets you up for whatever comes next, whether that's an investment property, an upgrade or building a portfolio. As a property investor myself, I understand both sides of the equation. I know speed and transparency matter, and I don't overcomplicate things. My job is to get the right deal done efficiently and make a real difference to your financial position in the process."
