James has joined Empower Wealth in the Mortgage Broking department working as an Associate Broker. He has completed his Cert III in Business and is currently studying a Bachelor of Business specialising in Financial Planning.

James has always been interested in the Finance and Property industry which can be seen in his prior experience and tertiary studies. In 2017, James started his Cert III in Business which was undertaken at the National Australia Bank in the western suburbs. After completing his Certification, James moved into a Vehicle Finance Broking role for a small business in Melbourne in which he gained important skills and knowledge. To continue gaining knowledge in the Finance industry, James started his Bachelor of Business (majoring in Financial Planning) part-time at the end of 2019, he is on track to complete it mid-2023.

Due to the strain Covid put on his employer, James moved into a Buyer’s Advocacy role in Melbourne which aligned with his keen interest in property. James enjoyed 2 years of personal and professional growth there, but always wanted to move into a more finance-based role which led him to our team at Empower Wealth.

James’ ideals and ethics are essential in his operations in the business, in which he provides clients with the highest quality of service possible. He is extremely dedicated in his journey to becoming a skilled Mortgage Broker which is only matched by his desire to assist clients in reaching their goals in the most effective manner.

When he isn’t helping customers and providing support to our mortgage broking team, James is usually spending time with friends & family or playing soccer. James also enjoys reading and widening not only his finance knowledge, but insight into a multitude of topics & events too.

We are very thankful for Gianluca, Richa and James.This is our first time using a Mortgage broker, and also our first time buying an investment property and we felt that we were very well taken care of.The loan structure was well explained to us considering we are very new in this investing space. All the challenges included having multiple loans with offset accounts. Overall we have great experience from refinancing to release equity to loan split, then another loan for the actual investment property.This experience leads us to be more encouraged to go again and buy another property as soon as cash flow allows us.Go team Gianluca! Thanks again and I'm sure you will hear from us again in the near future once we are ready to buy again.

Anthony and James have been amazing. I have bought a number of properties before but the process has never been so easy and well organised. Anthony took the time to get to know us and our goals better and came up with the perfect loan structure. Both Anthony and James kept in regular contact throughout the process and were very easy to talk to.

Thanks Brad & James from Team Bradley! We thought we knew it all about buying property… but found out we really didn’t! Equity Release and Offset accounts are like GOLD DUST….. our journey is just beginning!We can’t thank you enough for all your help and guidance along the way. Many thanks, Di & Derek

James and his team are amazing and I'd highly recommend their services to anyone who needs to refinance their loan like I did. They took the time to discuss and discover what I wanted and needed from them and put a clear plan in place very quickly. James and his team communicated every step of the way so I was confident and fully aware of what was happening. My lending situation wasn't straightforward forward and I'd even say was a little complicated but they didn't shy away from the challenge to find a solution that worked for my unique circumstances and for that I am grateful. Use James and his team at Empower Wealth for your financial needs with confidence that they'll work hard to make it work for you too.
