Ineed, the non-bank said its application submissions from the state increased by 51 per cent year on year from 1 April 2023 to 1 April 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meaker said that brokers could expect home buyers to increasingly seek out non-bank lending. He commented: \u201cWe are witnessing a steady increase in inquiries from our broker partners, particularly from regions beyond the eastern seaboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese are predominantly from self-employed customers in need of alternative-documentation finance solutions, and investors seeking better serviceability options.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking on Chandler\u2019s appointment, Meaker said: \u201cThis increase in demand has also led to the expansion of Brighten\u2019s broker network in Western Australia, prompting the appointment of a Senior BDM to offer them the best-possible service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cScott\u2019s appointment is timely and aligns perfectly with our strategic objective of rapid national expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chandler commented that he was excited to join Brighten: \u201cI\u2019m excited to join such a respected team within the industry. I\u2019m particularly excited by Brighten\u2019s strong growth record and its commitment to staying ahead of market trends through technological and product development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI look forward to leveraging my experience to provide top-tier service to our brokers across Western Australia, South Australia, and the Northern Territory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a
