Hi there, I’m Scott Forrest. A Mid North Coast local who looked at the banks and thought…. My team and I can do it better.
Meet Travis
Travis brings over 5 years in the financial service industry recently moving from the Westpac Banking
Corporation to start his journey as a broker, he is currently completing his Diploma in Mortgage
Broking and Management Services. Travis is excited to start his new journey as a broker as he is very
passionate about helping people and providing exceptional customer service. He is also a Patrolling
Member of his local Surf Life Saving Club.Hi there,
I’m Travis and along with Scott, we can do it better.
A whole lot better
And so we did.
We’re a Coffs Harbour mortgage broking business working the Coffs, Clarence Valley, Grafton and Maclean beat (all across the North Coast actually). Scott was born and bred in Coffs and with almost 15 years of lending experience at two of the major banks under his belt, and just as much time working as a self-employed restaurant owner and mortgage broker, so he really understands home lending.
He also understands people. Sadly, home lending and the real people applying for home loans don’t always go hand in hand. But Scott and his team hear you because they’re really listening.
When you say you meet with prospective borrowers after hours,
you mean just till 6pm, right?
No we don’t.
Like you, we have family and friends and need some leisure time, so there are some limits.
But if the only time you can only see us is at 8pm when the kids are tucked up in bed, then 8pm works for us.
And if your only free time is early in the morning, then with coffee in hand, early morning it is.
We all lead busy lives. But it’s our job to help you secure the best home loan for your needs.
So, yep. You better believe that when we say we can meet you after hours, that’s exactly what we mean. We’d be delighted to schedule a time that works best for you!
Just like a bank. Only better!
With so many years of lending experience, the Finance Connect team understands the home lending processes. We also understand the stumbling blocks, the bottlenecks and the frustrations many people feel when dealing directly with lenders.
That gives us a unique perspective on what the people of Coffs Harbour and surrounds want from a finance broker. It allows us to build a business based on the client’s needs, not the lenders.
Our deep connections across the Coffs Harbour business community allows us to connect, and connect you with, the very best property professionals in the region.
A traditional bank cannot (and will not) see past its own brand.
Whereas a mortgage broker has no such restrictions and can see as far as the distant horizon.
What makes a mortgage broker the right choice?
If you want to avoid wading through the different banking websites, paperwork and complex loan structures on your own, then approaching a mortgage broker makes a smart choice for the savvy property buyers.
When you meet with us, we’ll delve into your individual situation to then compare and recommend the right loan option for your needs.
Because a mortgage broker is working in the finance world every day, they know the ins and outs of each of the bank’s lending policies, so have the inside knowledge to steer you in the right direction.
Best of all, when you use a mortgage broker it won’t cost you a cent. Instead, the broker is paid a commission by the lending institution themselves.

Proud to partner with
For almost 15 years we’ve worked in the property industry across the regional areas of Australia's eastern states.

This means he can help save you time (and heartache) by connecting you with the local property industry elite.
