CBM Mortgages are a leading Australian mortgage provider established by Craig McDonald, who is an award winning Home Finance Manager with 20 years of experience managing residential lending across Sydney. Craig started his banking career as a Home Finance manager with one of Australi's leading banks and went on to work in their Migrant Banking department before setting up CBM Mortgages 10 years ago. Craig has created and implemented innovative lending policies making it easier for temporary visa holders and new arrivals to Australia to purchase property. If you are looking for a 457 or 482 visa mortgage, then speak to the team that wrote the policy.
Driven by his passion for helping individuals navigate the complexities of the home loan process, Craig established CBM Mortgages a decade ago. His goal was to provide personalized, efficient, and accessible mortgage solutions for people across Sydney, with a particular focus on helping migrants and temporary visa holders access home loans. Craig’s innovative approach to lending has set CBM Mortgages apart from traditional lenders by making the process easier for non-permanent residents to purchase property in Australia.
Over the years, Craig has implemented and refined lending policies that have made a significant impact on the mortgage market, particularly for those holding temporary visas like the 457 and 482 visa holders. These visa holders often face challenges when trying to secure home loans, as traditional lenders may have strict requirements or be unfamiliar with the specific needs of this group. However, at CBM Mortgages, Craig and his team have rewritten the rulebook, creating policies that offer flexibility and understanding of the circumstances surrounding temporary visa holders.
