Craig Vaughan

Working and studying in the United Kingdom while completing his law degree was an opportunity for Craig Vaughan to gain invaluable experience in the world of property and finance.

During the year‐long exchange program, Craig, a student at Queensland University of Technology, studied at Nottingham Trent Law School and worked for well‐known property firm, Henry Davidson Developments. After completing his degree back in Australia, Craig began working at a law firm but soon realised that his real interest was in the mortgage industry.

Craig’s mortgage broking career began in 2006 with ABC Mortgages. In his first year he concentrating mostly on helping first home buyers with high LVR financing. In 2007, Craig became ABC’s number one broker in Queensland. Soon, he founded his own company, MAP Mortgage Brokers, concentrating in the specialised area of home loans for non‐residents and ex‐pats.

“I was buying a house and one day I asked my mortgage broker about his job and the rest is history,’’ says Craig. “I made a decision that was quite risky at the time but in retrospect it was the best decision I could have made.”

Since then, Craig has gone from being a single operator to employing staff and establishing a successful multi‐brand company incorporating MAP Home Loans, Building Loans Australia and Professional Home Loans. Known for his dedication to the job, Craig has earned a reputation for ensuring his clients’ needs are met in a timely manner. His achievements were recognised when he was named a finalist in the 2014‐2015 Broker of the Year Award within the Australian Finance Group to show demonstrate his consistency his backed it by being named a finalist again in 2015‐2016.

Craig says targeting individual markets through the three different home loan companies has proved to be a winning formula and allows home buyers to receive information and advice that applies directly to their situation.

“I’ve lived on acreage and understand the frustration of banks not understanding acreage property, luckily I was in the industry so I could find a solution where many others wouldn’t. I’ve also built and had my own development so when we created Building Loans Australia it was based on providing solutions that were not offered by other brokers and banks.”

Craig is married with two children, and lives on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast. Together with his young family, Craig has a passion for travelling.
