Sophie and her team are sometimes working on up to 150 loan applications at any one time.

Paul started working for Trilogy in 2015. BT [Before Trilogy], Paul completed five years studying at the University of Canberra in accounting and management. The accounting side serves him well in deciphering the many self employed clientele we have. Paul didn’t come to Trilogy green, as he already had a year as a broker with another firm.
Paul’s knack is being able to combine his technical accounting knowledge with the needs of investors and the banks requirements, this makes him a very technical broker and a great asset to his clients.
On the personal side Paul is a bit of a character with a good sense of humour, which fits in just right with us Trilogians. And hey if you’re a bit of a gym junkie then you just might see him down there.

| Finance Strategist
Nicole Brophy lives and breathes property. Nicole came to Trilogy many years ago as a budding property investor. Having built her portfolio over the years and with the love of property & finance she had a desire to help others to do the same. This lead her to join the team at Trilogy Funding and worked alongside David Thomas for the first eighteen months to fast-track her knowledge of lending. Nicole strives for excellence when it comes to her career, putting quality and professionalism into every aspect of her role.
Delivering a high level of client satisfaction; which is evident by the number of testimonials and referrals she receives from her clients each month, is something that is extremely important to Nicole. With the philosophy of being mentored by the masters, Nicole submerges herself in learning as much as she can about, property, finance and wealth creation. Nicole has the skills and knowledge needed to structure all types of portfolios, however, she gets the most enjoyment for helping First Time Investors and First Home Buyers.
Apart from her career, one of the other things that Nicole values most are the relationships and time spent with family and friends.

Hope has been working in finance for nearly 5 years, now honing her knowledge and skills as a successful female mortgage broker, servicing clients Australia-wide. “What I love most about what I do, is knowing my clients leave the office feeling assured and excited for the future.
