Why an award for innovation?
In a competitive market place, innovation is essential to stand out from the crowd. This is especially true in the Australian mortgage broking industry, considering the ever-increasing demand for business from major bank lenders and third-party industry participants.
As an accredited mortgage broker, DPN’s multi-faceted ability to help clients develop investment strategies, provide competitive finance and find new ways to enter the property market with access to quality, high-yield project home properties has been highlighted as innovative in their approach.
DPN has also been recognised for its covert 'surprise and delight' customer experience program and continued committment to giving back, with a contribution to its partner charities with every property sold.
Designed to attract higher rents and boost demand, the DPN Casa range of homes includes the Designer and Dual Income properties, perfect for investors and home owners alike who seek higher value per square metre, with beautifully designed properties.
The DPN Dual Income property gives investors the ability to earn two incomes from one property, often delivering immediate, positively geared outcomes. It also offers the flexibility for owner-occupiers to generate cash flow or for extended families to live in the one location.
DPN's Managing Director, Sam Khalil, believes this is a tremendous achievement. "We're proud to be recognised by the ABA and this really supports our commitment to innovation and challenging the market with bespoke, customer focused solutions".
