Grant Newell

Grant is a Mortgage Lending Advisor at Empower Wealth and holds a Diploma in Finance and Mortgage Broking as well as a Diploma in Financial Planning, giving him the technical grounding to guide clients toward the best possible outcomes.

Grant began his mortgage broking career in 2017 and quickly discovered a passion for helping people navigate the lending landscape. After more than a decade working in IT and Sales, he was ready for a role that combined problem‑solving with genuine customer care—and mortgage broking proved to be the perfect fit.

Over the years, he has built a strong reputation for being approachable, down‑to‑earth, and incredibly patient. Clients regularly comment on how easy he is to reach, how quickly he responds, and how he always takes the time to explain things clearly—no matter how simple or complex the question. First‑home buyers in particular value the calm reassurance and clarity he brings to what can often feel like an overwhelming process.

Education sits at the heart of Grant’s advice philosophy. He takes pride in helping clients understand each step of their journey so they feel informed, confident, and empowered to make decisions that support their long‑term goals.

In 2025, he played an important role in the merger between Real Estate Home Loans and Empower Wealth. Having seen firsthand the strong alignment in values, he believed deeply in bringing the two businesses together to offer clients the full spectrum of services they need—property investment advice, buyers advocacy, financial planning, tax, and lending support all under one roof. For Grant, the merger wasn’t just a strategic move; it was the final piece that enabled him to serve clients more holistically.

Outside the office, he enjoys spending time with his kids, hitting the gym, mountain biking, and getting along to the footy.
