Clinton Waters founded AXTON Finance and serves as its Director and Principal Mortgage Broker. He built the firm on three stated values — trust, communication, and excellence — and has grown it into a 13-person boutique team that has settled $1.5bn+ in Australian mortgages and earned 27+ industry awards.
Clinton was named All Round Broker of the Year at the 2024 Connective Excellence Awards. The firm was recognised as the #20 Top Brokerage in Australia at the 2024 Mortgage Professional Australia awards (#40 in 2023), and twice running as a finalist for Best Boutique Office at The Adviser Better Business Awards (2023, 2024).
At the principal level, Clinton's stated approach is to talk through credit options in plain English and deliver service well beyond what borrowers typically receive from a bank or online lender. The team's broader operating ethos — "big enough to lever outcomes, small enough to treat your scenario like a friend or family member's loan" — comes from him.
Clinton Waters works at AXTON Finance, a mortgage brokerage based in Melbourne.
