Why 2025 is the best year to start your broking career

The mortgage broking industry in Australia is evolving rapidly, making 2025 the perfect time to launch your career as a broker. From growing consumer reliance on brokers to technological advancements and a booming commercial lending sector, the opportunities have never been more promising.

Here’s four reasons why 2025 presents a golden opportunity - and how Connective can be the ideal partner to support your journey.

1. Growing reliance on mortgage brokers

Australians are increasingly turning to mortgage brokers to navigate the complexities of securing home loans. In fact, brokers now facilitate over 70% of all residential home loans, a number that continues to rise. This growing demand means there has never been a better time to enter the industry.

Why is this happening?
  • Regulatory changes and lender policies have made the loan application process more complex, increasing the need for expert guidance.
  • Consumer preference for choice and transparency means clients are looking for brokers who can offer multiple loan options.
  • Competitive interest rates and refinancing opportunities are driving homeowners to seek better deals, leading them straight to brokers.

For aspiring brokers, this means a steady and growing client base eager for your services.

2. Advancements in technology

The broking industry is undergoing a digital transformation, making it easier than ever to manage client relationships, process loans efficiently, and grow your business.

Key technological advancements in 2025:
  • AI-driven tools that help brokers provide faster, more accurate loan recommendations.
  • Automated compliance management to streamline the regulatory process.
  • Integrated loan comparison tools that allow brokers to instantly match clients with the best loan product.
