Mortgage Strategist | Co-founder of Alcove |
Co-host, First Home Unlocked

Chris is one of Australia’s most experienced mortgage brokers and the co-founder of Alcove, a mortgage strategy firm focused on helping people make smart, long-term decisions about property.

With a background in financial planning and over a decade of experience, Chris understands that buying your first home isn’t just about ticking boxes, it’s about thinking ahead. He’s worked with thousands of buyers to help them build lives they love around the right property decisions.

Chris is known for bringing strategy, clarity, and calm to what can otherwise feel like a high-pressure process. He also co-hosts The Elephant in the Room and Australian Property Podcast, and brings that same practical, no-nonsense voice to First Home Unlocked.

He lives on Sydney’s Northern Beaches with his wife Melanie, their two kids Ellie and Tommy, and two cats. On weekends you’ll find him hiking, hanging with his family, or passionately cheering on Liverpool.
