Codie began her career in retail banking over a decade ago, building extensive experience across a range of home lending and banking roles with major Australian banks. This strong foundation gave her in-depth knowledge of lender policies, credit assessment, and how to structure finance solutions that achieve the best possible outcomes for clients.
Now with over two years of experience as a mortgage and finance broker, Codie has expanded on this expertise by providing a far more personalised and strategic service, helping clients navigate finance with confidence and clarity.
She has a particular strength in working with self-employed clients and complex income structures, understanding the unique challenges faced by business owners, contractors, and investors. Her experience allows her to structure solutions for scenarios that many others may find difficult.
Over the years, Codie has developed strong working relationships with a wide network of trusted professionals including accountants, buyers agents, real estate agents, and financial planners, enabling her to deliver a well-rounded service and connect clients with the right experts when needed.
Her experience has also grown well beyond standard home lending, with deeper involvement in more advanced scenarios such as:
- Home loans and refinancing
- Investment property lending
- Self-employed and low doc lending
- Commercial property purchases
- Development finance
- Car loans and asset finance
- Debt consolidation and cash flow improvement
Whether you’re purchasing your first home, building wealth through property, expanding your business, or navigating a more complex financial situation, Codie is committed to finding the right solution and making the process as smooth as possible.
A Q&A with Codie Richter;
What was your past experience before joining the team? How many years experience do you have in the finance industry as a mortgage broker?
I have spent my time over the last 12 years in finance across various roles with the Major Banks.
Why did you choose to become a broker?
I'm a people person and I love all aspects of lending - the property side as well as helping customer achieve their financial goals.
Did you always know that you wanted to be a Finance Broker?
No I wanted to do something in health/medicine during school and uni but loved my job at the bank so decided to go all in.
Why should someone choose you rather than going to a bank?
We have access to over 60 lenders in one place and I strive to think outside the box to get the most complex or unique scenarios across the line. We can also do some really cool things that mainstream banks would never offer.
What is your favourite thing about being a broker?
Speaking with so many different people and hearing their different stories and experiences.
What support do you offer your clients?
I support my customer through the whole journey, guiding them to get ready to purchase their first home through to building their property portfolio.
What types of loans or clients do you work with the most?
I am experienced with complex self employed and construction lending.
Do you charge a fee for your services?
In almost all scenarios you are not required to pay a fee for our services. Instead, we’re paid a commission by the lender you choose through. Learn more here or get in touch if you have any questions.
Important question that everyone will want to know the answer to - if you’re going for dinner/breakfast/coffee somewhere in Brisbane, where are you going?
I have been going to my favourite coffee shop Little Genovese in Coorparoo for many years and locally I love The Wild Canary in Brookfield.
Have you always lived in Brisbane?
I moved to Brisbane out of high school at 17 from my home town of Toogoolawah. I have then spent most of my of adult life in East Brisbane/Morningside area but have recently moved West to Kenmore Hills where my partner grew up.
What’s your favourite thing about living in Kenmore Hills?
My favourite thing about living here is that it feels like I am back in the countryside - lots of greenery and wildlife.

For any friends and family visiting Brisbane, I normally recommend to visit Eat Street to try lots of different foods, take a ride on the City Cat and visit Howard Smith Wharfs.
