A Message to My Community

After considerable reflection, I made the decision to sell my mortgage broking business. This has not been an easy choice. Many of you know that I started this business thirteen years ago, and during that time it has been an absolute privilege to walk alongside you on your homeownership journeys.

Helping individuals and families buy their first homes, refinance, invest, and plan for the future has been deeply rewarding. I am truly grateful for the trust you have placed in me over the years, and for the relationships that have grown far beyond numbers and interest rates.

As my own path evolves, my focus has shifted, and the time has come for me to trade in my calculator for a caravan and embrace a new chapter of life.

That said, I could never simply walk away or hand my business over to just anyone. The connections I have built within this community are incredibly important to me. If I was going to pass on the reins, it needed to be to someone who not only provides the highest level of professional service, but who also shares my values, integrity, and genuine care for people.

It is with great confidence and excitement that I introduce Rodney Weir from the award-winning Green Finance Group, who his group have recognised as one of the Top 250 Mortgage Brokers in Australia. Rodney brings extensive experience, strong industry relationships, and a client-first approach that closely aligns with the way I have always run my business. You can contact Rod at [email protected] or on 0418790149

You will continue to have access to a broad range of banks and lenders, personalised advice, and ongoing support—delivered with the professionalism, transparency, and care you have come to expect.

I sincerely hope the Bribie community will welcome Rodney with open arms and support him as warmly as you have supported me over the years. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your journeys. I leave knowing you are in excellent hands.

With gratitude,

Sharon-Lee Smithers, Owner & Mortgage Broker

"Before I met Sharon and Paul at Bri-Fi, I have to say that I was rather intimidated by the whole process of engaging a broker. Well, that fear was immediately laid to rest with the amazing friendliness, efficiency and ease of use of the service provided. Everything was explained in layman’s terms, communication was always prompt and the process was simply hassle-free. I would absolutely, 100% recommend Bri-Fi to anyone needing a broker whose service is without fault."
