Sixteen mortgage professionals from across the state of Victoria were announced as winners at The Adviser’s Better Business Awards in Melbourne last night.

Broker of the Year, the night’s most coveted award, was once again given to Mark Davis of The Australian Lending & Investment Centre. The Melbourne loan writer was also named Residential Broker of the Year at the Australian Broking Awards last August.

The awards night recognised Victoria's top mortgage professionals across a range of categories.

Mr Davis also took home the title of Best Residential Broker last night, while Simon Cai of C Loans won Best Finance Broker.

Daniel Jansen of Full Circle Home Loans claimed pole position in the Best Newcomer category.

In recognition of outstanding team work, The Finance Specialists was named Best Independent Office (fewer than five brokers), while RateOne took home the award for Best Independent Office (five brokers or more).

Aussie won gongs for Best Branded Office (Moonah) and Best New Office (Caroline Springs).

In the broker support categories, the award for Best Customer Service for an individual went to Natalie Wilcox of Think Advantage, while Empower Wealth Mortgage Advisory won the gong for the combined Best Customer Service of its office.

Pepper’s Nicole Campbell-Burns won Best Lender BDM (non-bank) and Bank of Melbourne’s Sandy Lutersz claimed the top prize for Best Lender BDM of a bank.
