Eden Emerald Mortgages is a Sydney CBD brokerage that's been broking home loans for Australian borrowers since 2004 — uncommon longevity in this industry. They're MFAA-accredited and were a finalist in the 2026 LMG Awards for Top Residential Broker.
The lender panel covers 50+ Australian lenders, including the four major banks plus non-bank specialists for non-standard situations. Service costs nothing directly (lenders pay on settlement). They take clients anywhere in Australia by phone, email or video, with in-person meetings at the Bond Street office for Sydney clients.
Eden Emerald is run by its founder, Shaun Bettman, who has been broking home loans since 2004. He's MFAA-accredited and a 2026 LMG Awards finalist for Top Residential Broker. His commentary has appeared in Domain, realestate.com.au, The Adviser and Channel 9's Today Show, and he's the author of How Mortgage Brokers Save You Money And Why It Pays to Look Beyond Your Bank. He works with a small support team — John and Anuja appear in recent reviews — but most clients deal with Shaun directly.
What clients say: clear, fast, and unflappable on tricky files. First-home buyers describe being walked through step by step. Refinancers credit him with competitive rates and smooth timing. On harder applications — non-standard income, complex structures, deals declined elsewhere — the recurring theme is that Shaun finds the right lender. Strong fit for senior-broker-led service across the loan lifecycle. Less of a fit for those wanting a multi-broker firm or weekend office hours.

I can't recommend Shaun and his team highly enough. As a first home buyer with a particular set of needs, the whole process felt overwhelming before I got in touch with him. From day one he made everything clear, straightforward, and stress-free.
Our introduction to Shaun came by way of an internet search and several forums where he was consistently mentioned as "the best." From the very beginning, we could see why. We had a tricky situation with challenging timing.
Shaun and Anuja shared their expertise and insights and were able to get a very competitive mortgage rate indeed. Their customer service was responsive and friendly. Highly recommended!
