Sahil Saini

Mortgage Planner (Director)

Sahil is an experienced mortgage broker at Strawberry Finance, specialising in lending for self-employed clients, business owners, and investors. With over five years of industry experience, he has developed a strong understanding of the challenges involved in securing finance where income structures and financials are more complex.

Sahil works extensively with self-employed clients, as well as those requiring commercial and trust lending, helping them navigate lender policies and structure loans in a way that supports both short-term approval and long-term outcomes. His approach focuses on understanding each client’s full financial position rather than applying a one-size-fits-all solution.

He is known for providing clear guidance through what can often be a complex process, ensuring clients understand their options, requirements, and next steps. Sahil takes the time to assess each scenario carefully so lending structures are set up correctly from the outset.

For clients who are self-employed or seeking commercial or trust lending solutions, Sahil provides practical, well-considered advice to help them move forward with confidence.

Shaz Aggarwal

Investment Property Loans Specialist

Shaz is a Broker Assistant at Strawberry Finance, working alongside Senior Broker, Sahil Saini. With a background in accounting and a strong focus on detail, Shaz supports clients throughout the lending process by ensuring every loan is structured correctly from the start.

Shaz assists first-home buyers, investors, and families with residential and investment property loans, helping clients understand how the right loan structure can impact cash flow, tax efficiency, and long-term outcomes. His role goes beyond administration. He supports lending strategies built around structure and suitability, not just rate-chasing.

Shaz works closely with temporary residents (TR), assisting eligible clients to purchase property while on temporary visas, where lender policy allows. For those not yet eligible, he helps draft clear and practical lending roadmaps so they are ready to buy as soon as Permanent Residency (PR) is granted. This includes planning around deposit requirements, lender selection, policy timing, and application readiness.

Known for explaining complex lending scenarios in plain language, Shaz ensures clients feel informed and confident from start to settlement. He also supports clients who prefer to communicate in Hindi or Punjabi, ensuring lending structures, policy requirements, and next steps are clearly understood. For Shaz, mortgage broking is about building long-term relationships and helping clients create financial security through the right structure, not just the right loan.
