Scott Thornton
Mortgage Broker & Director
As an accomplished mortgage broker with over 15 years of experience in the industry, Scott has always been motivated by the pursuit of success. One of the main learnings he took out of a 10 year career as an AFL footballer with the Fremantle Dockers, was that goals can be achieved by striving for success through hard work and discipline.
Scott is no stranger to setbacks and adversity. Diagnosed in 2004 with inflammatory bowel condition Crohn’s Disease that caused debilitating tiredness, pain and weight loss, the then 21-year-old was at the crossroads after having only played 6 AFL games. Rather than allow the illness to define him, Scott decided to prioritise his health so he could continue to establish his playing career. Sticking to a careful diet and training regime helped him stay healthy for much of the following six seasons, keeping up a 40-hour a week program of gym and field work and running around 16km each game at high intensity.
Post retirement from AFL in 2010, Scott along with co-founder Andrew Siegert noticed there was a gap in the financial services market, and desired to create something that simplified the home loan process and appealed to the younger audience. As a result, Loan Monster was created and quickly became a thriving business cutting through the jargon and complex language and making home loan advice easier to understand.
Highly regarded for his good nature, communication and honesty, Scott now focusses on using the experience and attributes gained in the AFL world to help clients achieve their financial goals and has long been regarded as one of the premier Mortgage Brokers of Western Australia.
Scott endeavours to deliver fantastic customer outcomes and a great experience for each client – guiding them through every step of the loan process.
Specialising in home loan finance, Scott’s expertise includes refinancing, first or next home loans, investment loans, commercial loans and vehicle and equipment finance.
With a strong work ethic and friendly disposition, Scott aims to give his clients excellent customer service and will ensure that you are looked after right through the loan process.
