One of Australia’s most innovative boutique groups has announced an interesting new partnership to support its strategic growth initiatives as its traditional markets continue to cool.
Starr Partners has formed a partnership with Shore Financial, a rising mortgage broking company, to offer competitive home loans to its clientele.
Its agents now have access to a team of more than 50 home loan specialists.
Starr Partners CEO Douglas Driscoll said that the move was a natural progression of the business.
“Residential mortgage broking services is another value-added offering we’ve integrated this year to improve the customer journey for our clients — from introducing new technologies to enhance their listings to now meeting all of their financial real estate needs.”
He said that after a year researching the market to find the best fit for third-party home loan referrals, Shore Financial was a “clear standout”.
“It’s their dedication and commitment to negotiating competitive rates and offering the best financial advice to meet the needs of their customers, and their experience working with real estate industry professionals, that sets them apart as the leading mortgage broking service,” Mr Driscoll said.
Shore Financial CEO Theo Chambers said that the opportunity was compelling.
“We love working with bigger real estate networks, and Starr Partners is a respected brand with a strong presence in key markets in Sydney and the Hunter Region.
“We’ve been liaising with a few of their offices, but saw the opportunity to extend the partnership across the full agency network.”
Mr Chambers said that, established in 2013, Shore Financial has built a multifaceted specialised team that includes a centralised processing team, a legal department, risk and general insurance specialists and a range of lending specialists.
He said that with a portfolio of more than 30 banks and lenders, Shore Financial manages more than $200 million in applications a month, totalling $2.8 billion a year.
“The company was set up to integrate with real estate networks such as Starr Partners to enable agents to meet the full suite of their clients’ needs.
“The strategic partnership will streamline the home buying process for property buyers and help landlords build and create wealth through property more efficiently.”
