In Michael's own words...

Michael Burgess, Mortgage Broker at Money.com.au

"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."

Some of Michael's happy clients

"We had an outstanding experience working with Michael Burgess at money.com.au. From start to finish, he was professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the best outcome. Michael secured us a great mortgage and, more importantly, put together a clear and well thought out plan for transitioning into our next home. We were navigating a bridging loan, and he made the entire process feel smooth and straightforward. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he explained everything in a way that gave us real confidence at every step. It honestly could not have been easier. Highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for expert guidance and a seamless experience."

"Michael Burgess was amazing. He listened to what I needed and was able to assist when others were not interested or willing. The entire experience was very seamless once I was ready to proceed with refinancing. The process once started was very fast. No questions were too stupid and I was fully aware of what was happening at every stage. Michael was always very responsive and provided great advice every step of the way. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael and money.com.au"

"Michael Burgess is an absolute legend!! He offered a competitive rate which was unavailable in the public domain. He made the whole processes of refinancing seamless and was transparent and honest throughout the process. I never knew money.com.au can offer competitive interest rate and all happened over a phone call, glad I did it.
