Stephanie Jordan

Founder & Mortgage Broker

Whether you're buying your very first place, upgrading to your next one, adding an investment property, or just wanting a better deal on your loan, I've got you.

I started ZARALEND because I felt like there was a gap for brokers who are actually relatable and approachable, less finance-bro-in-a-suit energy, more someone you'd actually want to grab a coffee with. You won't find any of that stiff, intimidating stuff here.

I've been a broker for over seven years and a property investor since I was 19, so I've sat on both sides of the desk. I know what it's like to actually need this stuff to make sense, not just sound impressive.

My commentary is frequently sought after by realestate.com.au and the Herald Sun, and I mentor new-to-industry brokers as well. But honestly, the best part of my day is still those "oh, that actually makes sense now" conversations with clients.

I'll walk you through every step, explain what's actually happening and be your personal finance cheerleader. First home buyers hold a special place in my heart, there's nothing like helping someone buy their very first place. But wherever you're at, I'm here to guide you through it.

About ZARALEND

What our clients say

Ashleigh Barber

We cannot recommend Steph highly enough! Before working with her, we had no idea that releasing equity from our current property was even an option. Steph took the time to educate us, explain the process clearly, and show us what was possible. Because of her expertise, guidance, and support, we were able to successfully purchase two investment properties this year alone. Without Steph, we never would have taken this step or realised we could grow our portfolio like this. She turned what felt like a daunting process into a smooth, stress-free experience. If you want a broker who genuinely cares about your financial future and goes above and beyond, look no further than Steph!

Kirsten Lambert

Fabulous experience. Stephanie is great!

Georgie Brice

Stephanie was amazing to deal with and made navigating through the refinancing my home/mortgage process after separation very very easy. She was super patient with a rather protracted timeframe and cheerfully followed up with me a regular intervals. She also introduced me to her network of professionals to help with other parts of the process. Would 100% recommend.

Skye Howden

I first worked with Steph 12 months ago when she went above and beyond to help me secure a mortgage at a time when I honestly thought all hope was lost. Her dedication, knowledge, and determination made what seemed impossible possible, and I'll always be incredibly grateful for the effort she put in to help me achieve my goal. Fast forward 12 months, and Steph reached out to check in. It honestly felt like I was catching up with an old friend. She said, "Let's see how your rate looks and work on getting you a better one!"—and that's exactly what she did. Steph and her team made the entire refinancing process seamless from start to finish. Their communication was exceptional, they handled everything professionally, and they made what could have been a stressful experience feel effortless. If you're looking for a broker who genuinely cares about their clients, goes above and beyond, and continues to look after you long after settlement, I can't recommend Steph and her team highly enough. They don't just help you get a loan—they build lasting relationships and truly have your best interests at heart. Thank you again for everything. I'm so grateful for your ongoing support!

Emma Ide

Stephanie and her team were an absolute delight to work with when we engaged her as our finance broker for the purchase of our home. From the very beginning, her guidance, positivity and unwavering support made what can often be a stressful and overwhelming process feel smooth and manageable. Stephanie took the time to find the right loan for our needs and was always approachable, knowledgeable and responsive throughout the journey. We were referred to her through word of mouth, and we can now confidently recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional finance broker. It didn’t matter that we were interstate—everything was handled seamlessly, starting with a simple online meeting, making the entire process incredibly convenient. We can’t thank Stephanie enough for everything she did for us and wouldn’t hesitate to engage her again in the future. We highly recommend Stephanie and her team to anyone looking for professional, personalised and outstanding service.
