Clinton Waters founded AXTON Finance on three core values: trust, communication, and excellence. What does this mean for you? It means you rely on us to talk through your credit options in plain English and deliver a customer service experience far beyond what you’d normally receive from a bank or online lender. With hundreds of five star Google reviews our excellence in mortgage broking speaks for itself.
The process begins with a free consultation where AXTON Finance's brokers assess your financial situation and understand your goals. This step is crucial for tailoring advice and identifying suitable loan options.
Brokers gather detailed information about your income, expenses, assets, liabilities, and credit history. This thorough fact-finding ensures that the advice and loan options presented are well-suited to your circumstances.
Based on the gathered information, AXTON Finance develops a tailored loan strategy. They assist in obtaining a pre-approval from lenders, which provides a clearer picture of your borrowing capacity and strengthens your position when making offers on properties.
Once you've selected a suitable loan, AXTON Finance prepares and submits the application on your behalf. They handle the paperwork and liaise with lenders, ensuring that all documentation is complete and accurate to facilitate a smooth approval process.
After the lender reviews and approves your application, AXTON Finance coordinates the settlement process. They ensure that all conditions are met and that the loan is settled efficiently, allowing you to proceed with your property purchase or refinancing.
Even after settlement, AXTON Finance continues to support clients by offering regular reviews of your loan structure. This proactive approach helps ensure that your loan remains competitive and aligned with your financial goals.

I couldn’t recommend David Pelligra highly enough. He’s genuinely the best broker out there and made the entire process from start to finish an absolute breeze. David is incredibly knowledgeable and what I truly appreciated most was how fast he was with communication and getting back to me. If you’re looking for a broker who is efficient, honest, and always on top of things, David's your guy. Thanks again for your help!
Worked with David to understand where I stood in the buying process, and three months later I had a place. His YouTube videos helped me learn the basics, but he still explained everything clearly, making the numbers and options easy to understand. Cheers David
As first time home buyers, Joyce from Axton made us feel heard from the get-go, engaged with our needs and gave us sensible advice to deliver a really seamless process and the confidence to approach the market knowing we had someone in our corner
I reached out to Axton Finance after a disappointing experience with a previous broker. As soon as I explained my difficult situation, I was passed onto Nicole, and explained that she would be the best person to guide me through the purchase process. I could not be more grateful for Nicole, she is extremely knowledgeable in her field and communicates complex issues clearly. She will handle any and every curveball you throw her way to find the best solution for your situation. I am looking forward to working with Nicole again on future purchases as I know she is truely in your corner, advocating for your best interests.
Friendly, knowledgeable, every professional! Got amazing service and even better results. Thank you David for being a positive part of a very exciting future. Highly recommended!
Nicole worked so hard to make sure we were happy and understood everything before proceeding onto the next steps. We are so happy with our new interest rate that she was able to get for us. We will definitely be using her in the future! ???? …
Worked with David, rapid responses and great quality of service. No complaints
Joyce is an amazing broker and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Joyce is incredibly knowledgeable and really is on your side the whole way though. We got a great result all due to her efforts and I will definitely be back to her if I ever need help again.
