About Loan Studio

Loan Studio is the vision of Colin Sheppard and Sonia Rohlf, both originating from the multi-national awarded Choice Home Loans division of Porter Davis Homes. Having successfully run the sales division of Choice Home Loans and leading the group to win an Australian Mortgage Award for Best Brokerage in Australia in both 2008 and 2009, this team recognised a need in the market.

With the launch of Loan Studio in 2011, a new boutique mortgage brokerage was created, providing long term, relationship-based lending solutions and, industry-leading service to clients and referral partners.

The business has continued to grow in sales volumes and people resources, with current monthly sales exceeding $60 million dollars, and a number of new exciting divisions currently being opened.

The team of savvy construction finance specialists have all been recruited based on our shared passion; to deliver an outstanding client experience. They are qualified, experienced, awarded, respected and dedicated to providing clients with a supportive and satisfying lending experience.

It’s this passion and commitment that has seen Loan Studio awarded ‘Best New Brokerage 2012’ and recognised as a finalist for 'Brokerage of the Year 2013' at the Australian Mortgage Awards.

WhatWeDo

What We Do

Quite simply; we take the hard work out of finding the right loan for you. We don’t apply a “cookie cutter” solution to our clients’ needs because one loan doesn’t fit all situations. We take the time to ask you the right questions from the beginning, then do the research before presenting you with your options, including all the pros and cons, so you can decide which, if any, is the best option for you.

Our professional, friendly and honest service doesn’t waste your time, it saves it! We are proactive in our approach so you’ll never have to take the time to chase us up. We’ve put in the hard yards to develop relationships with lenders and have a strong understanding of their products, resulting in Loan Studio being recognised as a preferred broker. This means we achieve faster decisions and more approvals for our clients.

We are transparent in the way we do business. We don’t take on business where we can’t achieve the desired outcome. Our service is free of charge, and while we are paid commissions from lenders, based on where we position a client’s loan, we will always explain why we recommend one loan over another to avoid any confusion. Our clients’ needs always come first.

Loan Studio service a range of loans including home loans, personal loans and car loans. We specialise in construction finance, which is time consuming and complex compared to “standard” loans. We know how important it is to nurture and maintain relationships with our construction clients, from application through to settlement, as this can be a lengthy process.

We are dedicated to delivering customer service that goes beyond expectation.
