I'm a specialist commercial finance broker with 16 years of experience helping Australian business owners access commercial property finance. As founder of Smart Business Plans, I've overseen $550 million in commercial finance across more than 3,300 clients, with a 92% approval rate working across a panel of 60+ specialist lenders. My expertise sits at the intersection of commercial property, business finance, and wealth strategy — particularly for small to medium business owners looking to buy their own premises, invest through their SMSF, or fund development projects. I work exclusively in the commercial space, which means I specialise where the major banks often can't or won't go. I'm also the author of The Premise Effect (2026), which makes the case for why Australian business owners are leaving millions on the table by renting rather than owning their business premises. I'm available to comment on: commercial property finance, SMSF borrowing, business lending, commercial mortgage rates, Australian property market trends, and small business wealth building.

I’m the founder of DIY Homebuyer Academy and a real estate broker focused on rethinking how buyers are represented in residential real estate. After years inside the traditional commission-based model, I began publicly questioning whether the system truly aligns with consumer interests. That work has evolved into a national platform helping buyers understand contracts, negotiations, and leverage — and, when appropriate, confidently represent themselves. My expertise centers on buyer strategy, compensation reform, incentive alignment, and the evolving role of agents in an AI-driven world. I work with analytical, independent buyers across multiple states and consult on complex transactions where traditional representation doesn’t always serve the client well. Through writing, long-form video, and public commentary, I explore the industry’s trust paradox — why consumers rely heavily on agents while simultaneously distrusting the system — and what meaningful reform could look like. If you’re covering the future of real estate, consumer empowerment, or the post-commission lawsuit landscape, I bring both inside experience and a reform-oriented perspective.

I help home buyers, homeowners, and investors understand market trends, mortgage options, and building considerations so they can make confident, informed decisions about real estate.

I have accumulated well over thirty years of experience in real estate and real estate finance. I have sold and/or underwritten over two billion dollars in real estate lending products. I have managed a lender bank portfolio of millions of dollars of real estate loans including responsibility for sales of bank owned properties. In 2018, I established and still manage a successful real estate brokerage offering property management of residential rental units, and also on and off market residential sales. I developed a passion for The Finger Lakes several years ago; boating, kayaking, and vacationing on the lakes. Ultimately, I purchased a home on Canandaigua Lake and live there year-round with my wife Tracy and two golden retrievers; Midas and Harper (they love the lakes too!) I am currently a water quality monitor for The Canandaigua Lake Watershed Association. I plan to continue learning about lake initiatives and stewardship with them. What I have found discouraging are experiences that I have seen both buyers and sellers of lake homes experience. Having sold lots of houses does not equate to understanding the nuances of lake real estate. Lake real estate is not only about housing. It is about a lifestyle. There are many important considerations, not only from the perspective of if a house is a good investment, but also how it supports a lifestyle. There are concerns to consider with a property on a dynamic body of water.
