Hi, I'm Michael! Proud dad. Passionate Dees supporter. Part-time cyclist. Average golfer. Love to travel. Red wine enthusiast.
Beyond work, I love the simple things: watching my boys play sport, family bike rides, walks with our cheeky groodle Rosie, watching a Dees game, a casual round of golf and enjoying a relaxing glass of red with my wife Belinda at the week’s end. My heart lies in exploring new horizons, with Italy and Spain topping my travel list.
My fascination with finance sparked in my junior years, thanks to my dad’s job at the State Bank and my mums savvy gold coin saving which often funded our annual holiday at Apollo Bay. At 22, engaging a financial planner resulted in investing my hard-earned savings from working at Maccas, revealing the power of compound returns and getting proper advice.
That early interest in finance helped me build a professional career in financial services over 25 years. On the study front, I have completed a Bachelor of Business (Management), an Advanced Diploma (Financial Planning) and Certificate IV (Mortgage Broking). As a qualified financial adviser, I understand the importance making sure any mortgage guidance complements your overall financial picture and your plans for life.
Having bought a couple of properties and completed a major renovation myself, I’m looking forward to helping you on your property journey.

We highly recommend Michael Lawes from Circle Finance Group. Michael provided clear guidance through every stage of the mortgage process, from assessing our borrowing capacity to comparing loan options and finalising approval. Michael’s experience, transparent communication, and ability to secure a highly competitive rate (better than the published rate) sets the standard. You can’t go wrong picking Michael as your mortgage broker. Cheers, Henry

Circle finance group were very helpful and always efficient answering my questions. I was very new to looking at buying a property and taking on a home loan, and was recommended to circle finance by an estate agent and my initial experience with Michael was very informative so decided to continue the process all the way to buying a property with him. Would recommend if you are starting out and unsure of what you are doing, very helpful.
