Our Story

 

 

Shire First Mortgages is more than a mortgage broker. We are a specialist mortgage adviser and planner. We take a holistic and long term view of your finances and help you plan your mortgages to not only meet your needs today but to help you create wealth for tomorrow.  Most mortgage brokers can get you into debt. At Shire First Mortgages we take the view that it is also our job to assist you in managing your debt and ultimately paying it. We want to help you to own your own home sooner. Shire First Mortgages is not aligned to any franchise group. We hold our own Australian Credit License and do not just work as a credit representative for the big organisations like many brokers. We are located at Level 4/29 Kiora Road Miranda in the heart of the Sutherland Shire. Please note our offices are availble by appointment and we may not be available there if you just drop in.

Shire First Mortgages has been helping families and businesses with property finance since 1999 when we began operations from a home office in Menai.

Since then the business has grown and relocated to its current Gymea, Sutherland Shire location.

The principals of Shire First Mortgages are Neil & Susanne Massingham who have extensive banking and finance experience with leading financial organizations such as Westpac, Royal & Sun Alliance & Commercial Union dating back to 1978.
