Michael Lawes

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.
