Maureen Krieger · Finance & Mortgage Broker

You can ask me anything

Truly anything. What's an offset? Is my deposit big enough? Does that Afterpay account matter? There's no such thing as a silly question here — and the ones people worry are silly are usually the most useful ones they ask.

I'll do the boring parts

The forms, the follow-ups, the hold music, the emails to your conveyancer. You get on with choosing a place and picking paint colours.

You'll always know where you stand

What it costs, how I'm paid, what happens next and how long it should take — in writing, before you commit to anything.

Your next move

Where are you headed?

Every one of these is the start of something good. Have a look at whichever fits where you're at — and if none of them quite do, that's exactly what a first conversation is for.

Buying your first home

You've saved, you've been to the open homes, and you're closer than you probably think. Let's work out exactly what's possible.

Buying your next home

Upsizing, downsizing or moving somewhere new. Let's work out how the sale, the purchase and the loan fit together.

Refinancing

Your loan should still be working as hard as you are. A fresh look often frees up more than people expect.

Investment lending

Getting the first one right is what makes the second one possible. Let's set things up so your plans have room to grow.

Self-employed & business owners

You've built something, and it should count for you rather than against you. With the right preparation and the right lender, it does.

Commercial & business finance

Premises, a business purchase or working capital. I'll help you find the lender and structure that suit how your business runs.

How it works

What working together looks like

Three steps, and most of the heavy lifting is mine.

We start with a chat

We talk about what you're hoping to achieve and where you're up to. No documents needed, and nothing at all to commit to.

I go and do the legwork

I build the full picture, compare your options across my lender panel, then walk you through a shortlist in plain English — with my recommendation and the reasoning behind it.

I'll see it through to settlement

The application, the lender's questions, valuations, your conveyancer, the follow-ups — I'll look after all of it and keep you posted along the way. And I'm still here long afterwards.

The full process, step by step

About

Hello — I'm Maureen

I've spent more than two decades in financial services, and I started TruLend to make finance feel less like a maze and more like a conversation.

You don't need to know the jargon or arrive with a perfect spreadsheet. Just tell me what you're hoping to achieve — the rest is my job.

More about me

The service promise

What you can expect from me

Six things you can count on when we work together.

Clarity over jargon

You'll understand every option, and the reason behind the recommendation.

Your goals first — always

I'll recommend what's genuinely right for you, even when that's “wait” or “stay put”.

Guiding you at every stage

First home, next home, refinance, investment, business finance — I walk the whole journey.

Supportive, never pushy

The “let's chat” door is always open, and I'll meet you wherever you're up to.

I do what I say

I follow through. Every call, text and email is answered within one business day, and you'll never have to chase me for an update.

Built on trust

This business grows through referrals and genuine care, and I never take that for granted.

Calculators

Wondering what's possible?

See what you could borrow, with the working shown — no contact details, no credit check and no pressure to take it further.

Try the calculators

One gentle caveat. A calculator can give you a rough sense of what's possible, and that's genuinely useful. What it can't tell you is which lender will say yes, how your particular income will be assessed, or what your real repayments will look like. That part takes a conversation — and the conversation is free.

A panel, not a single bank

I'm accredited across a panel of major banks, non-banks and specialist lenders through Connective, one of Australia's largest aggregators.

Free, no strings

The Borrowing Power Checklist

Most people lose borrowing capacity to things they never knew counted — and nearly all of it is fixable with a few months' notice. This is the list I work through before we go near a lender.

What lenders actually look at, in the order they look at it
The habits that quietly shrink what you can borrow
What's worth fixing now, and what genuinely doesn't matter

The checklist opens straight away on the next page — no waiting on an email. If anything on it raises a question, I'm always happy to talk it through.

Where I work

Local at heart, available Australia-wide

The Peninsula and Frankston are home, so if you'd rather chat over a coffee than a phone call, I'll happily come to you. And lending isn't limited by postcode — I look after clients in Sydney, Queensland and right across Australia, which works beautifully by phone and video.
