One of the most successful brokers in Australia, Paul Wright, has sold up his prime Wollongong broker franchise to Dino Di Donato, an up-and-coming star of the industry.
Wright, who has been named MoneyQuest Broker of the Year three times consecutively and passed a billion dollars in settlements last month, passed on his broker franchise after two decades.
He sold it to former Liberty Network Services (LNS) broker Di Donato, who was named as LNS Rookie of the Year in 2016 and achieved the most settlements under his previous network in 2020 and 2021.
The franchise covers the Wollongong area, which has been ranked among the hottest in Australia in the last year. It features both the sea changer demographic and the exclusive, expanding commuter belt that has come since Covid made working from home permanently a reality for many high-earning Sydney residents.
“First and foremost, I love helping people, and my passion for assisting others will be evident at MoneyQuest Wollongong, just as it has been in previous roles,” said Di Donato.
“Having worked in the accounting and finance space for more than 20 years, I have extensive experience in complex finance transactions, the commercial and development finance space, and in SMSF lending.”
“I provide feasibility modelling and sensitivity analysis to my development finance clients and present them with a range of potential outcomes regarding their developments, rather than just purely helping them to secure loans.”
“My accounting background allows me to assist my commercial clients with creating effective financing structures, and it also comes in handy when I am liaising with my clients’ accountants.”
“I pride myself on going the extra mile for every one of my clients, no matter how simple or complex the transaction or their financial situation may be.”
“Residential lending is also going to be a huge focus and I specialise in this area as well. I am excited to maintain the incredible work Paul has been doing in this space and am looking forward to contributing to the growth of this side of the business too.”
“MoneyQuest Wollongong will provide a wide variety of finance options across residential, commercial, development finance and SMSF, so that we can cater to a broad range of clients within the community.”
