Willow & Reed Private Wealth is a mortgage broking firm founded by Durand Oliver, helping established professionals and families across Bayside Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and South East Melbourne structure lending that builds wealth and gets them debt-free, sooner.
Before Willow & Reed, I spent years working alongside financial planners and some of the country’s largest institutional investment providers. From that vantage point, I watched something remarkable happen, time and again. I saw planners walk clients through the hardest financial moments of their lives, and I saw modest nest eggs grow, year on year, into genuine retirement fortunes.
I wanted to be part of that story. But I wanted to tell my own chapter of it.
So, I started Willow & Reed Private Wealth to sit alongside that financial planning journey, not to duplicate it. My focus is lending but not lending in the traditional sense of “get the deal done and move on.” I look past the next settlement date and ask a different question: what will this structure be doing for you in ten years?
Because every client who walks through my door is building something. For some, it’s an investment portfolio. For others, it’s a clear run to a debt-free retirement. And for many, it’s simply a home that actually fits the life they’re living, not the life they had when they bought it. Whatever that “something” is for you, my job is to make sure your lending is working just as hard toward it as you are.
Today, I work with established professionals and families across Bayside Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula and South East Melbourne. I compare your options across more than 70 lenders, because the right answer for your situation is rarely the easiest one to arrange, and you deserve a recommendation built on that difference.
And here’s the part I love most about what I do. I’m not just with you for the life of one loan. I’m with you for the whole journey, all the way to financial freedom and the retirement you’re building toward.
Four things that shape every client relationship, from the first conversation to settlement and beyond.
Every recommendation starts with your long-term goal, not the fastest approval. The right structure today should still make sense in ten years.
Comparing more than 70 lenders means a recommendation is based on what suits you, not which lender is easiest to arrange.
You’ll know how I’m paid, what a loan actually costs, and why a structure is recommended, before you sign anything.
Most clients stay for years, not one transaction. I’m here for the refinance, the next property, and the conversation after that.
Willow & Reed Private Wealth is a small, dedicated team, so every client works directly with people who know their file. We’re proudly husband and wife, which means the people building your lending strategy today are the same people you’ll still be talking to years down the track, as your goals grow and your lending needs to keep pace.
