Meet the Team

Terry Hunt - Personal Mortgage Adviser

Terry Hunt and his team have been assisting clients with mortgage advice since 1998. With extensive lending knowledge combined with property investment experience, Terry has helped over 2000 clients with home or investment property finance.

“I really enjoy working with clients to achieve a great outcome for them,” Terry said. My aim is to make the process easy to understand, ensure the client is informed at every stage of their loan application and ensure the whole process is as hassle free as possible.

I have a close relationship with my clients and I want to see them achieve their dream of owning property and creating wealth. Long after their new loan is in place, I’m there to keep them up to date with market trends and to provide ongoing support and advice.

As a result of his commitment, more than 95% of Terry’s business is generated from referrals by existing clients, repeat clients and a strong network of referral partners who recognise the benefits of dealing with Terry for themselves and their clients.

Terry has been a finalist in the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) Awards for Excellence and has been named in Mortgage Professional Australia’s Top 100 mortgage brokers.

He has won numerous Smartline awards for marketing, client service, lender relationships and volume of loans written and has been inducted into Smartline’s Hall of Fame in recognition of his success and contribution to the group over more than 10 years.

Terry's mortgage broking business is based in Erina, but he is fully mobile and services all areas including but not limited to Green Point, Gosford, Terrigal, Wyoming and Kincumber.

Owen Cant - Loan Writer

An ability to empathise with his clients, fully understand their needs and deliver advice that ensures the very best outcomes have been at the heart of Owen Cant’s success as a Smartline personal mortgage adviser.

Owen’s clients benefit from his 35 years experience in the banking and finance industry coupled with his genuine desire to help people achieve their goals.

“In working with my clients, my focus is on understanding as much as I can about them – their priorities and goals, and how they want to achieve them,” Owen said.

“I really try to walk in my clients’ shoes so the advice I provide them results in the very best outcome for them and their individual situation.”

Owen’s clients – who range from first homebuyers, property investors and families looking to ‘trade up’ or downsize – obviously appreciate his efforts to fully understand their needs and provide appropriate advice, with more than 90% of Owen’s business coming from client referrals.

Many of the clients Owen saw when he first started with Smartline 10 years ago continue to use his services, in addition to recommending him to their family, friends and colleagues.

“I guess I’m fortunate in that I love my work, for me there is no greater pleasure than being able to get a loan approved for a client, to have all the hard work and planning pay off and achieving the outcome that is exactly what the client wanted,” Owen said.

“Equally, it’s great that clients appreciate that I provide them with knowledgeable advice, a professional service and a willingness to make the process as easy and hassle free as possible.”
