About Us

SJD finance helps individuals, families, investors and business owners secure lending solutions for both immediate needs and long-term goals. 

In addition to Residential loans, we specialise in Commercial and Self-Managed-Super-Fund (SMSF) lending. These are areas that require a more strategic and experienced approach to achieve the best solution for our clients’ unique circumstances.

We understand that no two clients are the same. That’s why we take the time to understand your goals and financial position before recommending a solution.

We work closely with accountants, financial planners, and other professionals to ensure a seamless experience and well-rounded outcome that aligns with your future goals.

Working with a broad panel of lenders across Australia, we assist clients with a wide range of scenarios for:

 

  • Self-employed or PAYG borrowers

  • Commercial property

  • Self-managed super funds (SMSF)

  • Equity releases and debt structuring

  • Refinances

  • Buying your first home

  • Upsizing or downsizing

  • Investment loans

  • Building a property portfolio

  • Development and construction

  • Private lending

 

As a relationship-driven business, we value transparency and focus on building long term partnerships. We want our clients to feel supported and confident throughout the loan process, maintaining clear and responsive communication from start to finish.

Why Choose Us

COMMERCIAL LOANS

Commercial property and business lending policies and interest rates are rarely found on lender’s websites. Unlike residential home loans, the pricing of a commercial loan can be negotiated based on your background in business and the security to be offered. If you need help to refinance or purchase commercial property, just contact us today.

STANDARD VARIABLE & FIXED RATE LOANS

The variable rate loan offers more features and flexibility than the basic fixed rate loan, so the rate is usually slightly higher. Fixed rate loans are set at a fixed rate for a specified period – usually one to five years. This gives you the advantage of knowing how much your repayments will be, allowing you to organise your finances without the risk of rising interest rates. However, this advantage is offset by the possibility of not benefiting from a drop in rates.

SMSF

An SMSF property loan is a specialised loan that allows your Self-Managed Super Fund to purchase an investment property within super. These loans are structured to meet superannuation regulations and can help grow your retirement savings through rental income and long-term capital growth, with expert guidance to ensure the process is handled correctly.

INVESTMENT LOANS

Investment loans are structured in a specific way to allow you to make the most of your assets and finances. We can work with your financial planner and accountant to ensure your loan is set up to meet your specific needs, and we have access to competitive loan options that can help you maximise your investment returns.

SUPPORTING FIRST HOME BUYERS

Just starting out and not sure what kind of loan you need? No worries! We are here to help. As a first home buyer, you can obtain finance from a financial institution (a loan) either to purchase or secure against the property, with our assistance. Features of a mortgage such as the size of the loan, maturity of the loan, interest rate, method of paying off the loan and other characteristics can vary considerably. It’s always best to speak with a professional mortgage broker to discuss your options. We can also help you determine your eligibility and apply for the First Home Owner’s Grant.

BRIDGING LOANS

A bridging loan may be necessary to cover the financial gap when buying one property before your existing one is sold. This finance is secured against the existing property (utilising equity) and the new property being purchased. Usually, bridging loans are short term (normally 6 months) to allow for the sale of the original property and more expensive than other types of loans. There are alternative ways to finance a change from one home to another, so please talk with us to discuss your options.

ASSET FINANCE

Need finance for another large purchase besides your home? You can also ask us to access competitive finance options for private cars and recreational vehicles, commercial vehicles, plant and equipment for your business and other kinds of small business loans for a variety of purposes. These finance options may include personal loans, car loans, a variety of leases, commercial leasing options, chattel mortgages and more.

Services

There are hundreds of loan products on the market today. It is our job to navigate that landscape and help you find the right solution that suits your individual needs and servicing ability.

 

We can help first home buyers, next home buyers, refinancers and investors, PAYG or Self-employed.

Testimonials

Choosing a good financial broker can certainly be a minefield. Here is where my review may assist you! Sam is professional, personable, responsive and super knowledgeable in this space. He recently assisted with the refinancing of our costly and high mortgage rate to a much lower interest rate. Every interaction with him was a joy! If I could give him a 10 star review I would and I would not hesitate to use his recommend or personally use his services in the future. He is one of a kind ! Thanks so much Sam :)

Andrea Waring

"We honestly couldn't have asked for a better mortgage broker. Sam took the time to explain every option clearly, walked us through the numbers and made what can be a stressful process feel smooth and straightforward. If you want someone who is professional, detail-oriented and truly in your corner, we can't recommend Sam highly enough. We will be using him again for our next property purchase."

Gemma Lumley

I used to think brokers cost extra—but they don’t, the lender pays them! Once I found this out, it was a no-brainer. Sam was amazing, making the entire process stress-free and keeping us updated every step of the way. Thanks to his guidance and expertise, we felt completely confident and couldn’t recommend him highly enough.
