How Stephanie Thomas shaped her future with Loan Market.
Letting go of the prestige, perks, and security of a highly esteemed position at a big four bank to enter into the unpredictable world of broking is a big decision. However, Stephanie Thomas did just that. With a strong background in relationship building as a BDM for CBA, Steph knew she had the skills needed to be a successful broker with the right partner. After extensive research and planning, several factors led her to Loan Market.
“Having interacted with most mortgage brokers in Brisbane, I knew that Loan Market had a great reputation with its brokers and in the industry. The group has a family approach and a hands-on support strategy to elevate brokers and their businesses.”

Like most first-time business owners, Steph knew that generating leads and developing strategic referral partnerships wouldn’t be easy and that getting it right would take time. Shortly into her venture as a Loan Market broker and business owner, Steph was introduced to the brand’s real estate affiliate Ray White’s Ipswich office, one of the group's leading offices, and quickly developed a mutually beneficial relationship.
“Everything I do with them is not about my business, it’s about theirs and how I can help them bring sellers and buyers closer and complete a contract more efficiently. Over time, they’re winning more contracts with my lending advice and support.”

Any concern associated with generating business was quickly dismissed. By embracing Loan Market’s ready-to-go marketing materials and a complete SEO (search engine optimised) business website with calculators and blogs ready to boot, Steph’s able to remove herself from the time needed to market her business and focus on helping her clients. She’s also leveraged Loan Market’s design services to elevate her physical presence, taking the appearance of her shopfront to the next level.
“Leaning on the Loan Market brand to grow my own presence through their marketing tools and relationships was a no-brainer. It’s made it so much easier for customers to find us and makes the first interaction with a new client so much easier. The phone rings all the time.”
Steph has further grown her business through the purchase of a loan book that’s since increased in value by 50% through nurturing and further lending support. In 2024 she was recognised in the top 10 Loan Market brokers for Ray White settlements and her team’s outstanding efforts earned the business the Franchise Office of the Year award at the 2024 Queensland Better Business Awards.
