Managing Director & Financial Coach
Meet James Chancellor
Born and raised in Melbourne, James has always been passionate about finance and helping people achieve their property and wealth goals. After completing his studies in Business and Finance, he quickly realised that his real strength wasn’t just in numbers, but in guiding people through life-changing financial decisions with clarity and care.
James began his career in the finance industry over fifteen years ago, working with one of Australia’s leading banks and consulting to dozens of the country’s top financial advisory firms. Along the way, he built extensive knowledge in loan structuring, credit policy, and lending strategies. But what really stood out was his ability to make the process approachable — simplifying complex steps and making sure his clients felt supported every step of the way.
James founded Bright Crest Broking with a clear vision: to create a brokerage firm that puts people first. His mission is to cut through the jargon, ease the paperwork headaches, and deliver lending solutions that genuinely fit each client’s goals.
For James, mortgage broking is more than just securing a loan — it’s about empowering people with the right strategies to build wealth, create stability, and move forward with confidence.
