About Anita Callaghan
Anita is the Director and Principal Broker of Anita Finance, and she looks after every client herself.
She began her career inside the banks, and she brings that lender's view to every file.
From the lender's side of the desk to her own business
Anita has worked in finance since 2017, starting in lending roles at Commonwealth Bank.
She then moved to broker support at Bank of Queensland.
At Loan Market she worked as a credit analyst, assessing loans the way a lender does.
In 2022 she began broking in her own right as a principal mortgage broker with UNO Home Loans.
In 2024 she founded Anita Finance, so she could build long-term relationships with her clients as their director and broker.
As a mum of 2, Anita knows how much a home means to a family, and she brings that to every conversation.
