Frequently Asked Questions About Peter and OnePort Finance

These questions come up regularly before a first appointment. We have answered them directly.

  • How long has Peter Desbrowe Annear been a mortgage broker in Geelong?

    Peter has worked in financial services in the Geelong region for over 25 years. He has spent that entire career arranging finance locally, not relocated from Melbourne or operating from a national call centre. His client base is built almost entirely on referrals from previous Geelong clients, which reflects the length and consistency of that local track record.

  • What does the AFG Hall of Fame recognition mean for a Geelong borrower?

    The AFG Hall of Fame is awarded to brokers who consistently achieve outstanding results in both loan volume and client outcomes over an extended period. For a Geelong borrower, it signals that Peter has delivered results across thousands of applications, not just a strong year. His AFG Credit Representative Number is 548244 and is publicly verifiable.

  • Does OnePort Finance charge fees for its broking service?

    No. OnePort Finance does not charge broker fees to borrowers. Peter is remunerated by the lender when a loan settles, which means the full assessment, lender comparison, and application process are provided at no direct cost to the client. There are no hidden charges and no obligation to proceed after the free initial assessment.

  • How many lenders does OnePort Finance compare for each client?

    OnePort Finance has access to a panel of more than 50 lenders, including major Australian banks, regional lenders, and specialist finance providers. Every client assessment involves a genuine comparison across the panel before any lender is recommended. The recommended lender is the one that best suits the client's financial position, not the one that pays the highest commission.

  • Can Geelong clients meet Peter in person rather than over the phone?

    Yes. OnePort Finance is based at 510 Latrobe Blvd, Newtown, Victoria 3220, approximately three kilometres from Geelong's CBD. In-person appointments are available Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Weekend appointments are available on request for clients who cannot attend during business hours.
