Mortgage Broker at Fortify Loans
Riley May is a Hobart mortgage broker at Fortify Loans, with seven years in banking and finance including roles at MyState Bank and Westpac. That retail-bank background gives him a clear view of how Tasmanian files are assessed, which is useful for first home buyers, refinancers, investors and retirees looking to downsize. Fortify is a Hobart brokerage focused on people living in Tasmania or buying here.
His public credentials are stronger than most junior-to-mid broker listings. Riley holds a Diploma of Finance and Mortgage Broking Management and is a member of the FBAA. He has received the Rising Star Award from Outsource Financial and was nominated for Young Gun Broker of the Year at the 2024 Australian Mortgage Awards. His credit representative number is 544585.
Fortify's local angle should sit in his listing. The team works with Tasmanian buyers every day and talks specifically about how lenders view Tasmanian properties, buying in Hobart and regional areas, and state grants, guarantees and incentives. Riley's range from first home buyers to downsizers maps cleanly onto Fortify's home loan, refinance, investment and construction offering. The firm can also help with interstate property, but the stated focus remains Tasmania.
Working with Riley is set up as a no-cost, one-touch process: the client provides information once, Fortify handles the paperwork, and the broker is paid by the lender. Meetings can be in person in Hobart, or by phone and online for clients elsewhere in Tasmania. He is a strong listing for locals who want an award-nominated broker with bank training and a clear first-home-to-downsize brief.
