We're here for you. Not banks.

At Viewpoint Finance Group, we put people before profits. From your first chat to settlement, we handle the details — paperwork, lender updates, and everything in between. Our job is to make finance feel easy to understand and built around you.

Access to 60+ lenders.

We don’t just look for any loan, we find the right one for you. With access to over 60 trusted lenders, we compare thousands of options to shortlist the best matches for your goals, helping you secure a competitive rate without the hassle.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent mortgage broker!!!  I can highly recommend Shawn.  As my broker, his wealth of knowledge allowed me to access a commercial loan to buy a business quickly and with no hassle.  He made a complicated process so much easier to navigate for me.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service. Found the right person to approach with the opportunity who could see the merits and do the deal, when the person initially contacted (same bank!) said there was no deal to be done. Thank you, Shawn.

I honestly can’t recommend Shawn highly enough. From our very first conversation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in helping me achieve the best possible outcome — not just pushing a product.

He took the time to explain every step of the process in plain English, answered all my questions (no matter how small), and kept me informed the entire way. What really stood out was his attention to detail and ability to find options I didn’t even realise were possible.

The process was smooth, stress-free, and far quicker than I expected — which says a lot when it comes to finance! I felt supported, confident, and genuinely looked after throughout the whole journey.

If you’re looking for a finance broker who is transparent, reliable, and truly has your best interests at heart, Shawn is the one. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again or recommend them to friends and family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a great experience with Shawn as my loan broker. He took the time to understand what I needed, explained the options in plain English, and kept me updated at every step. The process was straightforward, the turnaround was fast, and I felt confident I was getting the right loan—not just the easiest one. Would happily use Shawn again and recommend him to anyone chasing a loan.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Shawn and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. What stood out immediately was his deep understanding of franchises — something most other brokers we spoke to clearly lacked. Instead of us having to educate him on how franchisor structures work, he already knew the requirements and exactly how to position everything correctly for the bank. That alone saved us a massive amount of time and made the whole process far smoother than we expected.

Shawn also gave us broader guidance well beyond just “finding the best rate.” He helped us understand the sequencing & intricacies of pre-approval and expiries, leases, franchise agreements, bank guarantees, landlord contributions etc. what each step meant, and presented multiple pathways to achieve the same outcome. It felt like real strategic advice tailored to our long-term goals, not just a comparison of products.

On top of that, he was incredibly responsive — consistently quick to reply, proactive, and always on top of what needed to happen next.

If you’re looking for someone who genuinely understands complex lending situations, especially involving franchises, and who will guide you properly from start to finish, I’d highly recommend Shawn.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Shawn Gower from Viewpoint Finance Group, and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received. Shawn helped us organise loans that allowed us to purchase another property while setting up our townhouse as an interest-only, removing equity. There were quite a few hurdles along the way, but Shawn lined everything up so that the process was as smooth and straightforward as possible.

What really stood out was Shawn’s commitment — he was always available when we needed him, even while he was on holidays. He stayed connected, made sure our loan was processed on time, and kept everything moving forward. When the banks dropped the ball, Shawn was quick to chase them up and push things along so we could settle on time and move into our new property.

We truly appreciate his professionalism, persistence, and dedication. We’d definitely recommend Shawn Gower and the team at Viewpoint Finance Group to anyone looking for a reliable and proactive finance broker.

Your borrowing power depends on your income, expenses, existing debts and credit history. We assess your situation and give you an estimate so you know what’s realistic before you start looking.

Calculate my borrowing power

A mortgage broker helps arrange finance across home, business, and personal lending, not just home loans. Instead of dealing with a single bank, a broker compares options from a range of lenders to find a solution that suits your situation.

At Viewpoint Finance Group, we help with home loans, refinancing, business and commercial finance, asset and car loans, construction finance, and SMSF lending. We explain your options clearly, manage the application process, and deal with lenders on your behalf to make things simpler and less stressful.

Approval times can vary between lenders. Generally, pre-approval can take a few days, while full approval may take one to two weeks once all documents are provided. We handle the process and keep you updated every step of the way.

Yes. Refinancing can help you secure a better rate, reduce repayments or unlock equity for renovations or investments. We’ll compare your options and guide you through the process to see if it’s the right move for you.
