Meet James
Twenty-two years ago, James Hasselle established what has grown to become the largest and most successful Mortgage Choice business in Australian history.
After two decades working closely with Australian families, one thing became clear: most people make their biggest financial decisions on emotion, incomplete information or ill-informed advice. Own Your Future was created to change that, with James as the coach you deal with directly.
How working with James works
A free discovery call
A no-cost conversation to understand you: your current position, your goals and your plans. You leave knowing which strategies and services may be appropriate.
Your plan
A comprehensive financial analysis from the outset, with a clear, tailor-made strategy that works towards $0 owner-occupied home loan debt first.
Coaching, month by month
Budget and progress reviewed every month, with the broader expense analysis repeated every six months as your circumstances change.
What's next
Once the home is on track, the same coaching turns to the next goal: a sustainable property portfolio and long-term financial freedom.
What makes it different
You deal with James, not a team.
Independent from property providers.
Realistic expectations, never unrealistic promises.
Lending always sits with your Mortgage Choice credit advisor.
Where most families start
