Your Mortgage Broker Who Actually Gets It

I arrived in Australia in 1986 as a high school student, completed school certificate in Brisbane and High School Certificate in Sydney. Gained multiple skills in various industries while working for over twenty years.

Here’s what you need to know:

Soma isn’t your typical broker. He’s an engineer by training (problem-solving is in his DNA), an accountant by qualification (he understands your numbers inside-out), and a mortgage broker by passion. That combination means you get someone who:

  • Thinks strategically about your entire financial picture, not just the loan in front of you
  • Explains like a human because jargon doesn't help anyone make better decisions
  • Negotiates relentlessly with lenders, he's secured rate discounts, waived fees, and pushed through "impossible" approvals more times than he can count

Years Of Experience

Before BrightPath, Soma spent years in corporate accounting and finance roles across construction, logistics, and infrastructure. He saw how businesses structure debt, how tax planning intersects with lending, and how the right finance can accelerate growth. He brings that institutional knowledge to every client, whether you’re buying a $600k home or a $6M commercial property.

But here’s the real reason people work with Soma:

He listens. Actually listens. Not just to what you’re saying, but to what you’re worried about, what keeps you up at night, and what success really looks like for your family or business.

Migrant background? Self-employed with “messy” tax returns? Been declined by a bank already? Soma’s been there, done that, and knows exactly which lenders will say yes when others say no.
