Hansi Lankanayake

Co-Founder, Director, Mortgage Broker
Hansi Lankanayake is a seasoned Mortgage Broker with over nine years of dedicated experience in the industry. Her journey is one of resilience, passion, and personal growth, marked by significant milestones and heartfelt achievements.
Hansi's story began in 2014 when she arrived in Australia, armed with a Special Degree in Finance from Sri Lanka's premier management faculty. Starting her career as a Loan Administrator in Mortgage Broking, she meticulously laid the foundation for what would become a fulfilling career. Along the way, Hansi had the fortune of learning from esteemed mentors who were instrumental in shaping her professional path.
By 2018, Hansi reached a notable career milestone by completing a Diploma in Mortgage Broking and Management. Settling in Australia with her high school sweetheart and husband, she navigated the complexities of a new country with unwavering determination. Within six years, Hansi and her husband achieved the remarkable feat of building their first home without familial support or government grants. Their success continued as they acquired their first investment property shortly after, reflecting their hard work and dedication.
The arrival of their daughter added a new dimension to Hansi's journey. Balancing pregnancy, delivery, and recovery without familial support, Hansi discovered an inner strength that enabled her to work part-time from home during pregnancy and return to full-time duties when her daughter was 16 months old. This experience reinforced her belief in the power of determination to overcome any challenge.
Hansi's background, growing up in a third-world country, gives her a profound understanding of the transformative power of education and hard work. This perspective, combined with her personal experiences, uniquely positions her to guide clients towards their financial goals.
Her passion for mortgage broking is fueled by the emotional satisfaction of helping clients achieve their dreams. Each day, Hansi approaches her role with gratitude and enthusiasm, eager to support her clients on their financial journeys.
