Building a Smarter Brokerage: How Andrew Vann Is Helping Shape Salestrekker 2.0

When Andrew Vann, founder of Your Home Loan Guy, made the move from the East Coast to sunny Perth, he wasn’t just chasing better weather – he was chasing better systems, too. It was part of the reason he chose SFG as his aggregator partner. With five years of hands-on mortgage broking experience and a healthy dislike for clunky admin, Andrew jumped at the chance to help road test the early rollout of Salestrekker 2.0 – branded as SFGconnect 2.

Now with dozens of deals lodged through the new platform and plenty of feedback shared with SFG and the Salestrekker dev team, Andrew’s pretty clear on what he loves most about the new setup.

1. Built-in Servicing That Saves Time and Cash

“The built-in servicing calculator is a game-changer. I actually cancelled my Quickli subscription because it’s that solid now. That’s $60 a month saved straight up – and as a newer business, every bit counts.”

It’s not just about the dollars. Being able to build a deal straight from the servicing calculator without double-handling data? Big tick from Andrew. “It’s just slick. Enter your data once, hit create, and you’re off.”

2. Templates That Tame the Admin Monster

For someone who admits admin isn’t their favourite pastime, Salestrekker 2.0’s compliance note templates are a lifesaver.

“You set them up once and just select what you need each time. Saves me typing the same thing over and over again. It's 20 minutes back in your day that you’re not wasting.”

3. Feedback That Actually Gets Actioned

As part of the pilot group, Andrew didn’t just use the platform – he is helping to shape it. “I am the guy sending emails saying, ‘Hey, this bit needs attention’ – and to their credit, the team would fix it within a remarkably short time frame. That support's been brilliant.”

Advice for Other Brokers?

“Be ready to play around with it. The flexibility and customisation are unreal once you get used to it – but you’ve got to get in and give it a proper go.”

Andrew’s still early in his solo journey with Your Home Loan Guy, but his knack for spotting what works and what doesn’t is helping shape tools brokers across the country will use. With his focus on doing things differently – and help from SFG and Salestrekker 2.0 – the future's looking bright.

“Right now, it’s just about building a name here in Perth. I want to grow the business my way – with a bit of personality and a whole lot less paperwork.”
