With more than 20 years in the finance industry, Stephanie Thomas has seen firsthand how the right lending advice can change lives. Having started her career with a big four bank in Queensland, Steph built a reputation for genuinely caring about her clients. But over time, she began to feel limited by the one-size-fits-all lending model.

“I got tired of only being able to offer one product. Every client’s situation is different, and I wanted the freedom to find the solution that truly fits.”

So, in 2022, Steph took a leap of faith and launched Loan Market Ignite, a mortgage broking business built on connection, transparency, and tailored advice. Her goal? To create a client experience that feels personal, empowering, and genuinely supportive from start to finish.

“Helping people turn their home ownership dreams into reality is what drives me every day. I love that moment when we find the perfect solution. The one that really makes sense for them.”

Today, Steph leads Loan Market Ignite with the same energy and warmth that have defined her career. Whether she’s helping a first-home buyer take that exciting first step, supporting a family through refinancing, or guiding investors toward long-term goals, she brings a calm confidence and deep knowledge that clients trust.

When she’s not matching clients with the right lender, Steph’s all about family life - juggling the adventures of three kids, two dogs, and two cats. Her home is always buzzing with energy, laughter, and a bit of organised chaos, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.
