Director, Awesome Lending Solutions
Albert Waldron – Mortgage Broker & Finance Strategist
Albert Waldron is a Sydney-based mortgage broker and finance strategist with more than 20 years of experience in the Australian finance industry. As Director of Awesome Lending Solutions, he specialises in helping first home buyers, single parents, property investors, and SMSF trustees find the right lending solution for their situation — and structure it in a way that supports long-term wealth building.
Albert started his career in traditional banking, where he saw first-hand how the system worked — and where it often failed everyday Australians. People were being declined for loans they qualified for, or paying more than they needed to, simply because they were dealing with a single lender with limited options. That experience gave Albert a clear sense of purpose: to work for the borrower, not the bank.
Since founding Awesome Lending Solutions, Albert has helped more than 1,000 Australian families and investors secure home loans, refinance to better rates, and build property portfolios. He is accredited with more than 60 lenders and is a proud member of the Finance Brokers Association of Australia (FBAA).

Areas of Specialisation
Albert works across four key client areas:
First Home Buyers
Albert works with first home buyers every day, guiding them through deposit strategies, government scheme eligibility (including the First Home Guarantee), lender selection, and the full application process. His goal is to make sure every first home buyer understands exactly what they’re doing and why — before they sign anything.
Single Parents
Albert is one of a small number of brokers in Australia who specialises in lending for single parents. He has deep knowledge of the Family Home Guarantee, which allows eligible single parents to buy with as little as 2% deposit without paying Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI). He understands the unique financial circumstances single parents face and helps them find practical, realistic pathways into home ownership.
Property Investors
Albert takes a strategy-first approach to investment lending. He helps both first-time investors and experienced portfolio builders structure their loans in a way that supports long-term growth — not just the next purchase. This includes interest-only structuring, using equity from existing properties, and understanding how rental income is assessed by different lenders.
SMSF Lending
Self-managed super fund lending is one of the most complex areas of the mortgage market. Albert has seven years of experience helping clients use their SMSF to invest in residential and commercial property through a limited recourse borrowing arrangement (LRBA). He guides trustees through the compliance requirements, lender options, and loan structures that apply specifically to SMSF borrowing.
How Albert Works
Albert’s approach is built around education and strategy, not just loan approval. He believes that the right loan for any client depends on their full financial picture — their goals, their timeline, their family situation, and what they want their money to do over the next 5, 10, and 20 years.
Here is what working with Albert looks like:
- A free initial consultation — no forms, no pressure, just a conversation about your situation and goals
- A clear strategy session to map out your borrowing capacity, deposit options, and realistic timeline
- Research across 60+ lenders to find the right fit — comparing policies, not just rates
- A well-prepared application lodged with the right lender the first time, to protect your credit file
- Regular updates throughout the process — no chasing, no silence
- Post-settlement support including offset account setup, loan reviews, and ongoing guidance
Albert’s Philosophy
Albert’s core belief is simple: financial security creates family security. He built Awesome Lending Solutions around a proven client pathway — from securing a first home, to purchasing one or two investment properties, to maximising superannuation and building diversified income over time.
He works with clients as a long-term partner, not a one-transaction broker. Many of his clients come back to him when they’re ready to refinance, invest, or help their own children buy their first home.
“I started in banking and saw how overwhelming the mortgage process was for everyday Australians. My job is to cut through that — explain things in plain English, match people to the right lender, and help them build something real over time.” — Albert Waldron
