My Mum was in a challenging situation with going into Aged Care and not wanting to sell the home just yet after my Dad passed away 18 months ago. I didn’t know what to do or who to speak to. I came across Jason via Google, read the reviews and made my first call. Jason was compassionate, listened to our situation and provided possible solutions. Jason answered all of our questions and concerns and explained everything. Jason is one of the most genuine, dedicated and professional people I have come across and has stepped us through the process with his support and guidance. Nothing was too difficult and Jason is a fabulous advocate. I will be using Jason’s services again at some stage in the future and highly recommend him and his services to anyone who is looking for a wonderful Mortgage Broker. Thank you so much Jason for your support, patience, genuineness and professionalism.

Jason is the broker you need in your corner!We connected with Jason after a number of disappointing experiences with some other brokers. The other brokers left our credit profile with many enquiries with zero results.Jason came on the scene and handled everything professionally. He restructured our portfolio and took the stress away from an otherwise stressful situation. Always quick to respond and update us on the status of our applications. He patiently explained the process and gave dependable timelines, resulting in desired approvals. Jason’s positive can-do attitude is commendable.Jason delivered over and above our expectations. Would use his services again. Highly recommended!!!

What We Do

We go beyond just securing a loan. Our role is to educate and empower you, making sure you understand the decisions you’re making and why they work in your favor. We provide clear, practical guidance on:

We’re proudly affiliated with the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA), a reflection of our commitment to ethical lending practices and industry excellence.

At Shern Advisory, our mission is simple: make the complex simple, and the stressful manageable—while equipping you with the knowledge to move forward with confidence.
