Our Story

Home Loan Experts is a specialist mortgage broker with expertise in lending policy. We’ve settled more than $7 billion in home loans over 15 years, making us one of Australia’s largest brokerages.

In 2006, Otto Dargan establishes Dargan Financial, later rebranded as Home Loan Experts in 2009. He starts slowly growing a small group of people into a team of 18 and moves to a bigger office in Sydney.

Our passion: Since the beginning, we have been passionate about helping good people who were let down by banks navigate the home loan market to get approved.

Unlike other brokerages and banks that focus on the bottom line, the brokers of Home Loan Experts were trained to be credit experts, not salespeople. That’s why, even when we started, the broking team consisted of experts who had worked in the credit department of banks.

2010: We are finalists for Brokerage of the Year in the Australian Mortgage Awards.

2012:We establish our outsourcing division, Alaya, in Nepal with a small team of Loan Processing Specialists, streamlining our processes to allow brokers to focus on clients. Driven by our passion for giving back to society, we establish Alaya Cares to support marginalised communities in Nepal, with a focus on childhood education and women’s empowerment.

2013: We are recognised as one of the top 25 brokerages in Australia, an honour we eventually win three times in a row, thanks to our brokers’ productivity.

2017: Alaya, which started as a team of Loan Processing Specialists, slowly grows to include credit analysts and mortgage brokers. Our outsourcing division also grows in departments like marketing and technology.

2020: Alan Hemmings takes the helm as CEO of Home Loan Experts. Alan joins with more than 20 years’ experience working with brokers to grow their businesses in the ever-changing market.

2014 to 2021: Our string of awards and honours continues. We win and are finalists in categories like Best Customer Service and Brokerage of the Year.

2019: We are recognised as the Best Independent Office and Best Customer Service provider in NSW at the 2019 Better Business Awards. We also win the coveted title of Top Mortgage Broking Office.

2022: We open our office in Gosford to cater to regional clients.

2023: 2023: We launch the 360° Home Loan Assessor. This tool helps users determine their borrowing power, minimum deposit requirement, and extra costs for buying property – all in one place.

2024: We win for Best Community Engagement Program at the Better Business Awards.
