We can help find exclusive loans for a range of industries

What separates us from the rest?

Home loans are not one size fits all. A nurse buying her first home, a small business owner refinancing commercial premises, and an ADF member structuring a DHOAS loan all face different challenges and the right loan structure for each of them looks completely different.

Stanford Financial is a Springfield-based mortgage brokerage with access to over 50 lenders. Our team includes Logan Stanford, an Australian Army veteran who specialises in defence home loans, and brokers with hands-on experience across home lending, investment finance, and complex borrowing scenarios across Queensland and nationally.

We work across every stage of the borrowing journey, from first home buyers navigating government schemes to experienced investors structuring multi-property portfolios. We explain what each option actually costs, how lenders assess your application, and which structure suits your situation so you can make the decision yourself with the full picture in front of you.

Testimonials

I entrusted my money with Stanford Financial and I was extremely happy with the friendly interactions, expert knowledge and efficiency of this business. My situation was controlled by Richie and I couldn't be happier with the service he provided. Every requirement was met and handled very well. His communication skills were excellent and he was very proactive and motivated to help in any way possible. It was obvious he cares about his customers and displays all the characteristics of a person who I can recommend. A++ Richie and thank you.

Had a great, successful and seamless purchase of our new home. Thank you to the whole team at Stanford for all your hard work and dedication to making our experience in buying our first home enjoyable and as stress free as possible, you are all champions in your fields and you answered all our questions no matter how small they were right from the very start. We couldn’t have done it without all your help and support. Thank you doesn’t seem to be enough to explain just how much we appreciate what you have done for us, but again, we Truly Appreciate Everything You You’ve Done.

Lord Dirk Johannes van Hees

We will be recommending all of our friends and family to Stanford Financial. From the beginning Steve and his team were open, friendly, caring and didn’t hesitate to explain even the smallest detail if we needed it. Kris and Logan replied to my emails on a Sunday without the slightest inconvenience. The Stanford Law section were equally fantastic- with Mary being available at all times to explain things if needed. We can not find a single fault with this company. It was a fantastic experience and made the purchase of our first home so much more exciting!
