Fast turnaround when you need it

My financial services career began in 2003 when I was lucky enough to gain experience with my mentor and my Dad whilst completing formal university qualifications.  
After that time, I worked in credit and managed a small team.  This honed my skills and allowed me to develop the qualities needed to be a senior loans processor/administrator and then finance broker with home loan connexion.  In March 2021, I established Ever After Home Loans to further cement my career with my business partner Eleanor Crosby.  So, whilst the name might be new the experience and familiarity is not.  
I work with the 4 big banks along with over 35 other lenders.  This is so important when it comes to providing solutions and choices during these often-uncertain times.  It is my job (and my passion) to sort through those options and present my clients with the top choices based on their circumstances.
If you need someone to help guide you through the finance steps to achieve home ownership or simply review your current situation then you have come to the right place.

WE FIX BAYSIDE

Handyman services

We Fix Bayside is owned and operated by Natalie and Brad Rowcroft, a local couple who have built their business on skills honed over decades. Brad is a qualified carpenter with years of experience working on properties across the Redlands, while Natalie brings the same care and attention to detail that made Bond Girls Cleaning one of the most trusted names in the area. Together, they have renovated their own homes, tackled every kind of repair, and learned what it takes to do the job right.

Now they are offering that experience to you. When Natalie and Brad step into your home, they treat it the way they would treat their own, with respect, care, and a commitment to getting it done properly. Their sons are training as a plumber and electrician, and the family is building something that will serve Bayside families for years to come.

Professional, reliable, and genuinely here to help. That is who We Fix Bayside is.

More about Lauren!

I am so much more than a finance broker.  I am a dream maker.  I love what I do and am passionate about helping our clients achieve their goals. It may sound a tad corny however my greatest joy really does come from customer satisfaction and a job well done.

After that time, I worked in credit and managed a small team.  This honed my skills and allowed me to develop the qualities needed to be a senior loans processor/administrator and then finance broker with home loan connexion.  In March 2021, I established Ever After Home Loans to further cement my career with my business partner Eleanor Crosby.  So, whilst the name might be new the experience and familiarity is not.  

I work with the 4 big banks along with over 35 other lenders.  This is so important when it comes to providing solutions and choices during these often-uncertain times.  It is my job (and my passion) to sort through those options and present my clients with the top choices based on their circumstances.

More about Eleanor!

One of my most familiar comments when I chat to be people is “Please tell me all about you” ……...well this is a little bit about me first so that you may be comfortable with next steps.   

I have been in the banking and finance industry since I was employed at the CBA back in 1996.  Since then, I have been lucky enough to gain varied experience across other lenders, the tax office, accounting, and financial planning as well broking.  

After spending time at both Aussie and Home Loan Connexion my long-term business partner Lauren Conde and I decided it was time to branch out and thus Ever After Home Loans was established.  So as whilst the name might be new the experience and familiarity is not.  

One of the key things I love about finance broking is that we can truly add value and make a very real difference in our clients lives. Whether your questions are simply around how much you can borrow or refinance, or what is the best home loan option for you? I am here to help you find the right solution for your circumstances.
