Our Story

Strive Finance is your  friendly local mortgage broker right here in Port Macquarie since 2016.  Emma and Warren, our founders, have deep roots in the community, with Emma being a proud third-generation local.

​

Our journey started when we faced challenges getting a home loan ourselves back in 2013. We couldn't find the right support or guidance, and it was a bit overwhelming. But we turned that experience into something positive! People noticed our success and asked how we did it, and that's when the idea to help others was born.

​

Now, we're all about making the process easy and stress-free for our clients. We started with new as a new business and with the love and support of our amazing community, we've grown into a thriving business. A huge thank you to all our wonderful clients who've trusted us to help them achieve their dreams!

​

We dedicate ourselves to helping our clients reach their detailed goals. Whether it's buying their first home, getting a new property, or refinancing.  We strive to be their financial coach, keeping them in shape with ongoing engagement and support.

It's not just about business for us – we care about giving back to our community. We get involved in cancer research programs, run for charity events like MND, and organize support events for local schools and centers. Helping where needed is part of who we are.

​

One thing that fills our hearts with joy is that our very first client is still with us today. They, along with many others, know that we go above and beyond for them, and that's why they keep telling their friends and family about us.

​

Our hard work hasn't gone unnoticed either. Industry leaders have recognised us and nominated us for prestigious awards, like the regional mortgage broker finalist for 2022 and 2023, Better Business Awards 2023, and Australian Small Business Champion 2023. It's a true honor for our team, and we're proud to put Port Macquarie in the spotlight!
