A Bit About Me — But More Importantly, How I Help You
Hi, I’m Chris Berry, founder of Find A Better Rate Home Loans and your dedicated mortgage specialist.
For the past 18 years, I’ve helped first home buyers, refinancers, investors and self-employed Australians secure finance that actually fits their life — not just their application.
I believe the lending process shouldn’t feel confusing, intimidating, or rushed.
It should feel clear, personalised, structured and supported — start to finish.
That is exactly the experience I deliver.

Personalised support from the very first chat to settlement day — you’re never left wondering where things are at
