Mortgage Broker Awards and Recognition

Best Residential Broker 2022 Finalist

The Better Business Awards is the premier event recognising the most distinguished professionals and businesses in the mortgage and finance industry. The finalist list, announced on Thursday 24 March 2022, featured over 600 high-achieving professionals across 19 submission-based categories.

Reaching the finalist stage is regarded as an incredible achievement across the Australian broking industry, showcasing the depth of dedication and commitment each individual and team brings to advancing the industry.

Mortgage Broker of the Year 2022

The RateMyAgent Agent of the Year Awards is one of the largest real estate awards in Australia, comparing over 36,000 agents, agencies and mortgage brokers across the country. These awards are the only industry awards to put clients' needs first, and exist to help consumers identify benchmarks in their local area.

Being named among the Top 20 brokers means we were recognised by our customers themselves: an accomplishment that reflects the work and the results we have achieved for our clients.

MPA Top 100 2021

Our own Greenline Home Loans Director, Thaer Burbar, was ranked 15 in the Top 100 Mortgage Professionals Australia. Having seen almost 50% growth in loan values since the previous financial year, Burbar put his success down to "utter hard work".

The brokerage specialises in home, asset finance and commercial loans. Going beyond that, it has a lending arm offering its own white-label product, launched in August 2021. But customer service is its primary focus, and Burbar goes above and beyond for all his customers, no matter the situation.

Better Business Awards 2021

Thaer Burbar, Director and Mortgage Broker at Greenline Home Loans, was a finalist in the Better Business Awards 2021 NSW for Best Residential Broker. The Adviser celebrates the achievements of brokers in each state and territory through in-person awards nights in the five major states.

The Better Business Awards acknowledge the brokers leading the charge in each state and territory, those with the most effective businesses, teams, marketing strategies and integrated offerings, as well as the lenders and aggregator BDMs best servicing brokers' evolving needs.

MPA Top 100 Brokers Awards 2020

Greenline Home Loans Director Thaer Burbar was ranked 15 in the Top 100 Mortgage Professionals Australia. Burbar says it is hard work that makes a top broker: every customer needs a solution or assistance of some kind, and a top broker strives to ensure that solution is found. Beyond that come industry knowledge, an understanding of the different banks and their policies, and the ability to identify the best fit for a customer.

Caring about your customers is also vital. "I genuinely care about all my customers and want to help them achieve all their dreams. That's why they come to me in the first place, isn't it?"

Australian Broking Awards 2020

The Australian Broking Awards is the only industry awards program focusing exclusively on leading brokers, brokerages and aggregation groups in the Australian mortgage industry.

This award recognises the residential broker who best represents the industry across key factors including loan volumes, loan book growth, compliance, submission quality and customer service, as well as business processes, systems, stakeholder engagement and customer relationship abilities.

Better Business Awards 2019

Being named a finalist in The Adviser's Better Business Awards 2019 was a major achievement for Greenline Home Loans. As the needs of consumers have grown, so has the need for brokers to offer solutions and services beyond residential mortgages.

The Best Finance Broker award recognises the broker who, over the financial year, has created the strongest client offering, one that serves clients' wider financial needs outside residential mortgages. The category assesses non-residential loan volumes and growth, including commercial, business, insurance, leasing, asset and equipment finance, and personal loans.

FBAA Award 2019

The FBAA Independent Broker of the Year award recognises the best broker in an independent business. Brokers may nominate themselves, and the awards team also considers input from aggregators and brokerages, with extra weight given to nominations from those in a position to assess a broker's performance objectively.

Connective Excellence Award 2019

The Best All-Round Broker award recognises brokers who display excellence in their field, not only from a financial perspective but also in best-practice business operation, customer service, community engagement and professional development: brokers who innovate, mentor and give back to the broker community.

Young Leaders in Finance Award 2018

The Young Leaders in Finance award recognises the mortgage broker who best represents the industry across key factors including loan volumes, loan book growth, compliance, submission quality and customer service, as well as business processes, systems, stakeholder engagement and customer relationship abilities.
