Senior Mortgage Broker
Home lending expert and experienced property investor.
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."
Michael Burgess and Merlan Bayani were wonderful in helping us with the entire refinance process. Not only they secured a great home loan rate, they also worked extreme fast, thorough and kept on top of their communication throughout the process. Thank you both for your amazing work!
Michael and Merlan were very attentive and responsive throughout our home purchase process. They helped us secure a great mortgage rate and even offered a rebate for using their services. Highly recommend!
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
Micheal Burgess got us a great deal and navigated a tricky settlement with ease. We would definitely work with Micheal again.
Michael Burgess He was always available and ready to answer any questions we may have had on the progress of our application and the process in general. More than happy to recommend Michael (& John) and would happily utilise their services again in the future if required.

Michael B from Money went above and beyond to get a better mortgage deal for a refinance. Recommended.
Our experience with Michael was fantastic. Our home loan application was easy and quick and we had a very good rate. Michael was quickly clarifying any questions we had through application process, that relieved us from a lot of stress. I recommend money.com.au. for home loans
A quick interest rate check lead us to the most competitive rate of all the banks. Michael Burgess was super helpful post the first check via Money.com.au to just compare the rates we were being offered via other brokers. Turned out a god send, as Michael made the whole refinance super simple and easy. Even pulled out all the stops to get its sorted as close to our fixed rate period ending.
Michael Burgess was super helpful and guided us through the whole process. He was very responsive, so we always felt comfortable that everything was tracking to plan. And the interest rate he achieved was very low!!
Michael was very informative, and great to deal with even though I had a thousand questions. Michael put my mind at ease with the whole process.
