A mortgage should fit into your financial life, not simply sit beside it. Fran Jerome, CPA and mortgage strategist, personally helps each client compare suitable lenders, negotiate pricing and structure their mortgage around what they are trying to achieve.
We design mortgage structures that reduce total interest paid, accelerate equity growth, and create flexibility for future property decisions — not just get you approved.
Your mortgage is your most powerful wealth tool. We show you how to use it — through offset optimisation, debt segregation, and strategic refinancing at the right time.
Every Australian professional deserves a mortgage that works as hard as they do — structured for speed, flexibility, and long-term wealth creation.
We map your income, expenses, and financial commitments to build a repayment structure that maximises every dollar — without sacrificing your lifestyle.
You do not have to accept a 30-year mortgage as a given. With the right structure and a consistent surplus, many borrowers repay years sooner. We model what is realistic for your income, expenses and goals, so you can decide on your terms.
Oliey Finance was founded on a single conviction: that the structure of your mortgage matters more than the rate on it.
Fran Jerome brings a rare combination of CPA qualification, personal property investment experience, and mortgage strategy expertise to every client engagement.
We are paid by the lender you choose, and we tell you how much before you proceed. Our legal duty is to act in your best interests, so we recommend from a panel of 30+ lenders based on your strategy, not on who pays most.

We work to secure competitive pricing among the suitable options available to you. We then design the loan structure, offset arrangements and repayment strategy around what you want the mortgage to achieve.
We model practical ways to reduce your mortgage sooner, based on your income, cash flow and priorities. The strategy is tailored to your circumstances rather than built around a generic promise.
A competitive rate can create valuable savings. The right structure determines how effectively those savings support your cash flow, reduce your debt and help you move towards your next objective. At Oliey Finance, we want both working for you.

READ MOREMany lenders offer reduced interest rates for a limited time at the beginning of your loan.
READ MOREA bank can only offer you its own products. A mortgage broker like Fran Jerome at Oliey Finance works across a panel of 30 or more lenders to find the structure that fits your goals, not just the product that is easiest to approve. For clients in SE Melbourne, that difference often means a significantly better loan structure, not just a slightly lower rate.
An offset account reduces the loan balance that interest is calculated on every single day. If you owe $500,000 and have $30,000 in your offset, you only pay interest on $470,000. That saving compounds over time and can cut years off your loan term without locking your money away. It is one of the most powerful tools available to Australian homeowners and the foundation of the Buffer Flip Strategy.
Yes, some lenders offer LMI waivers and reduced fees for eligible healthcare professionals including nurses, doctors, paramedics and allied health workers. Eligibility depends on your role, employer, loan size and the lender's current policy. Fran Jerome at Oliey Finance works specifically with frontline workers across SE Melbourne to match them with the right lender for their income structure.
Many lenders look for a 5% to 20% deposit. Under the Australian Government 5% Deposit Scheme, eligible first home buyers can buy with a 5% deposit and no LMI, and eligible single parents with 2%, if the property is under the price cap ($950,000 in Melbourne). First home buyers building a new home may also qualify for the $10,000 Victorian First Home Owner Grant and stamp duty concessions. Eligibility depends on your situation, so speak with Fran before signing a contract.
