Meet Cass

Hi, I'm Cass. Let me explain how I work.

Thirty-plus years in lending, the last stretch as a broker on the Sunshine Coast, working from Palmwoods. I've sat on the bank's side of the desk, so I know how they think — and how to tell your story so they say yes for the right reasons.

Own your own business?

No payslip. No problem.

Tradies, consultants, café owners, contractors — I've spent 30 years turning messy business income into clean bank approvals. Add-backs, one year of financials, ATO debt: I know which lender says yes, and how to ask.

  • Read your financials the way a credit assessor does — then tell your story better
  • Lenders who'll work with one year of returns, or none
  • ATO debt handled inside the loan, not after it
How I work with business owners
The journey

Your home story has chapters. I've read them all.

Most brokers meet you once, for one loan. I'd rather walk the whole road with you — the exciting bits, the messy bits, and the finish line.

CHAPTER 01

The first key.

Deposit, grants, what you can comfortably borrow — explained before you fall in love with a house.

CHAPTER 02

More room.

Upsizing, building, renovating. Bridging the gap between the home you have and the one you need.


Next home & construction →

CHAPTER 03

Your own boss.

ABNs, add-backs, one great year and one messy one. Lenders who read a business, not a tick-box.


Self-employed lending →

CHAPTER 04

The next door.

Using what you've built to buy the next one — structured so your portfolio doesn't trip over itself.

CHAPTER 05

The hard chapters.

Separation. Illness. A tax bill that got away. A bad year. No judgement — just a plan and someone in your corner.


ATO tax debt →   Solo & Sorted: separation, divorce or loss →

CHAPTER 06

The finish line.

Paying it down, downsizing, super-fund property. The last mortgage conversation you'll ever need to have.


Retirement & SMSF →

Whichever chapter you're in, it starts the same way.

How it feels

Calm, clear and on your side.

Banks sell loans. I coach people through them. The difference shows up the first time something goes sideways.

01

I listen first

Your whole picture before any product. No forms, nothing lodged, nothing on your credit file.

02

Boutique by design

We stay small on purpose. A family-run team who know your name, your numbers and your story — from first chat to settlement.

03

Still here after settlement

Rates move, lives change. I check in, and you can always pick up the phone.

What I do

If the answer's no somewhere, it's often yes somewhere else.

Whatever the loan, there's usually a way — and finding it is my job.

What clients say

I have worked with several brokers and Cass and her team are by far the best there is! I had complete confidence in her ability to get the job done. Maurice kept me informed every step of the way.

Julie-Anne DudleyGoogle review

The journey with Cass and Maurice to refinance our existing properties, and assisting with finance for our new property, was seamless. The banks and land purchase threw challenges at us but we navigated them with ease.

Shaun CoweGoogle review

Both Cass and Maurice were there every step of the way. Being a single homeowner it was nice to have input and ideas I couldn't have come up with on my own.

Lucinda HeathGoogle review

The team at Your Mortgage Coach was incredible! They made the process so simple and as a first home buyer it was exactly what I needed.

Remy CarvethGoogle review

It was not an easy process and yet Cass and her team made what seemed impossible possible, going above and beyond and always with a friendly disposition.

Paula BrennanGoogle review

Absolutely amazing and highly professional service. After dealing with multiple brokers I can confidently say I'll be recommending Cass to anyone looking to buy property.

Local to the Sunshine Coast

Palmwoods based. Sunshine Coast at heart.

I live and work in Palmwoods, so the hinterland and coast are home ground — I know the streets, the price pockets and the local valuers. Most chats happen by phone or video, and if you'd rather sit down face to face on the Coast, we can do that too.
