About us
With a commitment to personalised service and transparent communication, we are here to support you throughout your finance journey.
Finance built around you
We believe mortgage broking should be personal.
Cornell Finance has evolved around a simple idea — that clients deserve more than someone who simply arranges a loan. They deserve a trusted person who takes the time to understand their circumstances, their goals and what they’re ultimately trying to achieve.
That’s why when you deal with Cornell Finance, you deal directly with Angela Cornell.
From the initial conversation and assessing your options, through the application process, lender negotiations and settlement, Angela personally manages every step. And importantly, the relationship doesn’t end when your loan settles.
We believe your mortgage should be reviewed as your circumstances change. Whether your goals are to reduce your repayments, refinance, buy another property, invest, renovate or simply make sure your existing loan is still working for you, we’re here to help you navigate those decisions.
With access to a broad range of lenders, including Australia’s major banks and a wide selection of other lenders, Cornell Finance can compare lending options and tailor a solution to your individual circumstances. But what really matters to us is the relationship. Much of Cornell Finance’s business has been built through repeat clients and referrals. We’re proud that clients continue to come back to us as their lives, finances and property goals evolve — and that they feel comfortable recommending us to their family and friends. For us, success isn’t just settling a loan. It’s being the person our clients know they can call when they need help with their finance — now and for many years to come.
Meet Angela Cornell
I’ve been helping people navigate mortgages and finance for more than 20 years, and one thing I’ve learnt along the way is that no two clients or situations are ever the same.
I’m a very hands-on mortgage broker. I like to get to know my clients, understand what they’re trying to achieve and then work alongside them to find a lending solution that makes sense for their circumstances — not just today, but for the future.
I’m big on communication and keeping things simple. Mortgages can be confusing and, let’s be honest, there can be a lot of jargon and paperwork involved. My role is to take that complexity away, explain the options clearly and be there to guide my clients through every step of the process.
But for me, it doesn’t stop at settlement.
I genuinely value the long-term relationships I build with my clients and love being the person they can come back to when life changes — whether that’s buying another property, refinancing, investing, renovating or simply wanting to make sure their current loan is still working for them.
A large part of my business has grown through repeat clients and referrals, which I’m incredibly proud of. I think that says a lot about the way I work.
After more than two decades in the industry, I still enjoy the personal side of what I do — getting to know people, solving problems, negotiating with lenders and helping clients turn their property and financial goals into reality.
For me, being a mortgage broker is about being there for the whole journey — not just getting the loan approved but continuing to be a trusted point of contact as my clients’ needs and goals evolve.

What does a broker do?
A broker is a financial expert who collaborates with you individually to understand your borrowing objectives and evaluate how much you can borrow. They usually offer a more customised service than lenders and have access to a range of loans from various providers, enabling them to identify the most suitable loan terms for your specific needs.
Do you charge fees for home or investment loans?
When you secure a loan through a broker, there are no additional repayments or fees involved. Brokers receive a commission from the lender for bringing in new clients, but this does not influence your interest rate or other loan terms.
Is it more expensive to use a broker?
Engaging a broker incurs no cost to you, as the lender compensates the broker. With access to a wide array of loan options from multiple lenders, brokers will help you find the most suitable loan based on your situation. Typically, this includes the best available rate at that time along with features that suit your preferences.
Some brokers may impose service fees, which will be disclosed prior to offering their services.
How much can I borrow?
While our borrowing calculator offers a useful estimate of your potential borrowing capacity, for a more accurate evaluation, we encourage you to reach out to our team. We can discuss your options and explore your unique circumstances in greater detail.
Should I choose a fixed or variable rate?
As the term indicates, variable-rate home loans feature interest rates that fluctuate over time. They often provide greater flexibility compared to other loan types, including features like redraw facilities and the ability to make extra payments. However, repayment amounts are not fixed.
Conversely, fixed-rate home loans offer predictable monthly repayments, allowing you to know exactly how much you will pay each month for the entire loan term. While these loans may lack some flexibility in features, they provide borrowers with reassurance when it comes to budgeting for repayments.
When deciding which loan type suits you best, consider whether flexibility or certainty regarding your monthly payments is more important to you.
Which lenders do you collaborate with?
Thanks to our affiliation with a mortgage aggregator, we have access to loan options from over 40 different lenders. This allows us to assist you in finding various suitable options tailored to your particular circumstances.
