Leanne began lending in 2001 and co-founded Savvy Home Loans in 2007, bringing over 25 years of experience in residential and commercial lending. She's built a successful business that has weathered personal family illness, shifting markets, regulatory reform, royal commissions, pandemics and done so with heart, integrity, and grit.
Her journey into finance started in 2001 when she was inspired by Kerry Packer’s investment in Wizard Home Loans - a lending model that opened the door to more choice for clients. That spark, along with a nudge from a previous business client, led her to open the doors of Wizard Home Loans Wynnum, all while raising six kids under nine and a teenager! It was bold, it was hectic and it was the beginning of something enduring, and she has never looked back!
Today, she still thrives on mapping out strategic paths and connections for her clients with complex needs and she is deeply committed to making sure her clients feel supported and understood and seeing them achieve what’s important to them however, Leanne’s focus is as the Head of Growth at Savvy where her true passion lies in lifting others up - by investing in her team’s growth and ensuring every client feels genuinely cared for when dealing with her Savvy team.
Whether it’s a straightforward home loan or a multilayered commercial solution, she brings warmth, clarity and quiet confidence to the table. As Shakespeare said, “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but often times better than a master of one” and that’s Leanne in a nutshell. Practical, intuitive, and always ready with a Savvy way forward.
Outside of finance she likes to eat (food), pray (for a never-ending week-end), love (babies, mahjong & all things under the Tuscan sun).

A massive thank you to the Savvy Home Loans team for helping us purchase our dream island home! Given our unique situation and ignorance to how things work, we were likely not the easiest clients to deal with, but Emma, Leanne and Jarrad were all incredibly patient with us and held our hands every step of the way. Emma was particularly meticulous in her attention to detail, 100% proving her assurances that she's like "a dog with a bone" and going above and beyond to help get us over the line! Not only does this team demonstrate a high level of professionalism, diligence and conscientiousness, but they are all super friendly, approachable, and dedicated to helping their clients fulfil their dreams. I can't recommend them enough!!!
