Dean is a Mortgage Lending Advisor at Empower Wealth with sixteen years combined experience in mortgage broking and commercial finance. Dean holds a Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management and Certificate IV in Financial Services (Finance/Mortgage Broking).

A genuine interest in global financial markets stems from Dean managing his family’s self managed super fund and from this experience he understands that risk and ensuring awareness through self education and professional advice is paramount in finding opportunities and managing risk.

Having started mortgage broking in 2002, Dean’s client for life mentality led him to start a sole run brokerage in 2010. A recent move back to Victoria in 2016 has opened the door to join the Empower Wealth team who share the same values of awareness through education and a genuine commitment to provide finance advice through a consultative and collaborative approach.

Dean’s spare time is focused on maintaining fitness and health to keep up with a young family which includes enjoying golf, swimming, tennis and being a keen supporter of AFL.

Dean was very helpful even if I he was not my broker on my purchase. He was very helpful in our transition from the ultra-low-rate fixed mortgage to the variable one. I like that he provides many information to help us make an informed decision. We're happy and confident that he is our broker.

Hi team Dean, I personally wanted to give thanks for all your help this year. We have went through more than a handful finance moves this year, and in the end we landed on a home we never thought was in reach. Imelda and I sincerely appreciate what you and the team do. Hope you all have a lovely festive season.

Dean and the team are always very helpful and generous with their time. They are more than happy to answer as many questions as possible to ensure I fully understand the process and steps involved. Can't speak highly enough of the experience

I honestly don’t know what I would have done without the support of Dean, Piers, Sam and Sally. They were with us every step of the way. Everything went fine during the application process, and Dean gave great advice around structure as always. We had a builder who used a non-standard contract and a poor payment progress schedule. Dean and the team gave us the support we needed to be able to confidently communicate bank requirements to our builder. Our construction took far longer than anticipated, and Dean and the team advocated with the bank for us to get extensions as required. This was an extremely stressful process and the team were extremely patient and supportive of us as we went through all of this. The builder also experienced cashflow pressure during the build and the team found ways to make part payment to provide additional certainty for project completion. You would not get any of this support from your bank directly. After our experience, I don’t know why anyone would go directly to a bank. Empower Wealth is in your corner and help you put your best foot forward when trying to turn your dreams into brick and mortar (or concrete and steel in our case).
