Our Team
Director and Leading Mortgage Specialist
Craig's experience and approach comes from a unique perspective. It's not just his industry tenure, banking background, or professional credentials, it stems from genuine lived experiences that allow him to truly relate to his clients' situations.
His hands-on involvement includes owning and selling properties, managing dual-occupancies, navigating the challenges of a growing family, overseeing small developments, completing renovations, and operating as a landlord. Additionally, his role at an accountancy firm with a property investment division provided him with deep insights into investment strategies and property ownership structures.
Craig is genuinely passionate about understanding your individual goals and educating you on how to structure your financial plan for continued progress. He believes in guiding clients through each step of their journey with clarity and purpose.
He recognises that his role extends far beyond simply securing the right mortgage. Craig is committed to understanding your broader vision and working collaboratively with you to turn that vision into reality.

Evan Hawke has been with Objective now for 3 years, Previously to this Evan was a top performer in a technical sales and service role outside of the industry. He was in a role that required maths and complex problem solving skills as well as a focus on customer service. It was due to this reason that I knew that Evan would be a great Mortgage Broker.
Evan excels in this fast-paced environment and he really works to get to the point. He searches and explores to find the solution to any problem in front of him.
Having Evan start with us was one of the very few times we chose to take on a Broker without extensive mortgage or banking experience that we typically require, but if you look at Evans customer reviews it has clearly shown to be a great decision.
Evan is a dedicated Mortgage Broker who is results driven and will be an asset to your next property purchase.

I have had a number of interactions with mortgage brokers over the years, but none so efficient and thorough as Valerie from Objective Wealth. Her support and gentle guidance through a first time investment loan adventure made the whole experience relatively painless. I absolutely would recommend Valerie and the team at Objective Wealth for their industry knowledge, experience and professionalism.

Absolutely! Supporting first-time home buyers is one of our specialties. We guide you through every step of the home loan process and have extensive knowledge of government assistance programs, including the First Home Owner Grant and various stamp duty concessions that could benefit you.
Not at all. While home loans are our primary focus, we also arrange investment property loans, construction financing, vehicle loans, personal loans, and various other lending solutions. If you need to borrow funds for a purchase, we likely have options to help you.
Certainly. We excel at finding competitive refinancing options for existing mortgages, whether for your primary residence or investment properties. Our goal is to secure you the most favourable interest rate available in the current market.
We work with an extensive network of lenders including major banks, credit unions, and specialist lending institutions across Australia. This gives us access to thousands of loan products, ensuring we can identify the most competitive rates and terms for your specific situation.
Mortgage brokers provide access to a much broader range of loan products than any single lender can offer. We handle the research, comparison, and application process on your behalf, often securing better terms through our industry relationships. This saves you time while potentially saving you money through better rates and features.
We begin by understanding your financial circumstances and goals, then research suitable options from our extensive lender network. Once we identify the right loan, we manage the entire application process from paperwork to settlement. You can contact us at any stage of your property journey for obligation-free advice tailored to your needs.
