Mortgage Broker at Derwent Finance
Alastair Matthewson is a mortgage broker at Derwent Finance in Hobart. Derwent does not publish a personal career history, qualifications or awards for him, so this profile should be read as a team-broker listing rather than a founder story. He is one of the firm's Hobart brokers working from 19 Macquarie Street, supporting clients across Tasmania.
Derwent's process is the best guide to how Alastair works. The team starts by assessing the client's situation, then educates them on loan products that fit, then stays involved from submission through to settlement. The firm's public services cover home loans, investment loans, construction lending and refinancing, including first home buyers. Broker fees are advertised as free to the client, with a complimentary strategy session as the usual starting point.
Derwent presents itself as a research-led brokerage: find the right loan, get it approved, then keep working the file until settlement. That includes staying in contact with every professional involved in the application. For borrowers who want a Hobart-based Derwent broker, Alastair is the team contact rather than the principal.
