Mark
Mark De Martino
Senior Mortgage Advisor
0488 666 666 03 8580 7277 mark.demartino@loanmarket.com.au

With a 25-year legacy in mortgage and finance—preceded by a foundation as a professional Accountant—Mark offers a depth of expertise that few can match. As our leader, he views finance through a wide lens, focusing on strategic wealth creation and intelligent tax structures. Whether he’s helping seasoned investors maximize their portfolios or guiding first-home buyers toward that "unbeatable" moment of receiving their keys, Mark’s goal is always long-term financial freedom for his clients. He is equally passionate about his internal team, leading with the rare goal of mentoring his staff to one day lead the business themselves. Outside the boardroom, Mark’s world revolves around Hendrix—his dog and our official office mascot. Mark ensures Hendrix lives his best life with plenty of walks and attention, a commitment to care that mirrors his approach to his business and clients. “I get a true kick out of seeing our staff develop. My ultimate success isn’t just business growth; it’s seeing my team become successful enough to lead this business for the benefit of their own families.”

Bethany
Beth Peebles
Operations Manager
03 8580 7277 beth.peebles@loanmarket.com.au

With two decades of industry experience, Beth is the engine that keeps our business running at peak performance. As a Broker and Business Owner, she possesses a rare 360-degree view of the lending world, allowing her to design and refine the seamless systems that define the Loan Market experience. Beth’s daily focus is simple: removing friction. She works tirelessly to optimize our internal processes so that every client journey is smooth, transparent, and efficient. For Beth, the greatest reward is watching her team thrive and seeing the genuine care they provide to every customer. When she steps away from the office, Beth is usually on an adventure with her husband and two young sons. While the zoo is their current favorite destination, she is still navigating her eldest son’s ongoing protest regarding the local lack of flamingos. “I love watching our business and team grow. We have an incredible culture of mutual support and a deep-seated care for our clients—as an owner, you can’t ask for more than that.”

With a background in accounting and over seven years of dedicated experience as a Mortgage Broker, Jas brings a sharp, numbers-driven perspective to the Loan Market Port Melbourne team. He specializes in bridging the gap between complex financial data and the dream of property ownership, helping both first-home buyers and seasoned investors build sustainable wealth. Jas views himself as an educator as much as a broker. He takes immense pleasure in guiding clients through the intricacies of the home loan journey, transforming what can be a daunting process into a clear, stress-free path toward their financial goals. When he’s off the clock, Jas stays energized through fitness, whether he's at the gym, practicing yoga, or exploring nature with his two "fur babies," Bruno and Bella. An avid traveler at heart, he is currently planning his next European adventure to immerse himself in new cultures and—most importantly—their world-class food. “I find true fulfillment in making a tangible difference in people's lives. By educating my clients throughout the process, we ensure their journey to property ownership is as rewarding as the destination.”

Katherine has been a pillar of the Loan Market Port Melbourne team for over eight years. Having spent much of that time as our Senior Credit Analyst, she possesses a "behind-the-scenes" mastery of credit policy that few brokers can match. Now, as a Mortgage Broker, Katherine uses that expertise to guide her clients through the entire lending journey. She loves that no two days are the same, and she takes pride in being a steady hand for her clients from start to finish. Inside the office, she’s known for her supportive nature and her passion for helping the wider team grow. When she isn’t securing approvals, Katherine is likely deep in a home renovation project (and forever questioning how many shades of white actually exist). She is an avid reader and a firm believer that no weekend is complete without a long brunch with family and friends. "Getting to deliver the news of an approval is incredibly rewarding—especially when we’ve worked through a challenging scenario to get there."

She prides herself on making the application process seamless and staying connected with clients post-settlement to ensure their long-term needs are met. At home, Monique is an avid reader and a talented baker. She is constantly experimenting with new recipes, though her legendary focaccia remains the undisputed favorite among family and friends. When she’s not in the kitchen, she and her husband are usually out exploring the local dining scene in search of their next favorite cuisine. “I love the fast-paced nature of this role. No two days are ever the same, and there is a great deal of satisfaction in knowing I’ve helped Mark’s clients move one step closer to their goals.”

She is a proactive problem-solver who thrives on brainstorming with the team to develop tailored solutions that meet the unique financial needs of every household we serve. Away from the office, Cloe is an explorer at heart. She loves nothing more than heading off on camping trips or beach getaways with her family and close friends. Committed to personal growth and staying active, she brings that same high energy and "make it count" philosophy to everything she does. “I love diving into a client’s unique situation and collaborating with the team to find the perfect solution.

I understand that none of us are taught finance in school and so having a meeting with a bank or a finance broker can be a confusing and challenging time. My role is to untangle all of the jargon and make the process simple and understandable for my clients. In this way my clients feel part of the process and understand exactly how their finances are set up and how it benefits them. I don’t work out of a garage. I have a professional team working from an office in Port Melbourne including 9 brokers and staff, that are trained to take care of our client’s every need. In particular, our processing team operates like as “your own personal assistant” and is available to take care of any queries you may have whether it be before or after settlement. My testimonials provide an insight as to how my clients feel about their finance experience played out for them and their families.
