Wendy Higgins from South Australia reached the landmark last week after 13 and a half years working as a mortgage broker.
Ms Higgins said the loan book was built organically, having helped more than 8,000 clients attain their dream of home ownership.
To celebrate the milestone, Ms Higgins held a three course meal at Adelaide’s InterContinental Hotel for 260 guests.
“I am delighted to be able to treat my staff and so many of those with whom we have a close relationship to a night of good old fashioned fun. It was a brilliant occasion I will cherish,” Ms Higgins said.
“Holding a book of $1 billion in home loans is something most mortgage broking businesses only dream about. I am very pleased and proud of this achievement, which has been made possible with the help of my franchisor Mortgage Choice, our lender partners, my staff and our commitment to looking after all clients in an exceptional manner.
“I also want to send a big thank you to those clients plus our community friends, business contacts and my team’s families and mine for supporting the business. Without them it would be nothing.”
Mortgage Choice chief executive Michael Russell said everyone who knows Wendy would be absolutely thrilled with the milestone.
“It is a wonderful reward for a wonderful person who is an inspiration to the industry and her community, which I know her business supports in many ways.”
“Wendy has absolute commitment to her customers and partners, and is always willing to teach others and share experiences so the people around her benefit. The loan book milestone is an incredible achievement and only one of many Wendy and her team have accomplished over time.”
