Tegan Kuhl
Tegan is an experienced mortgage broker based in Mt Gambier, servicing the entire lower southeast. Having joined the broking industry in 2021 her experience in the finance industry extends over 9 years prior to that, where she worked in both lending and management roles with one of the major banks. Throughout her career Tegan has established a reputation for providing exceptional service to her clients and achieving great outcomes using her industry and lender knowledge and expertise.
While having a passion for helping all clients achieve their financial goals her specialty lies in helping first home buyers and self-employed clients. While it is important for all clients to understand the end-to-end process of their lending journey it is especially important for first home buyers. Tegan takes the time to educate her clients about the various loan options available and provide guidance on navigating the complexities of the home buying process, keeping all parties involved in the loop. She is up to date with the latest government grants and incentives for first home buyers, ensuring her clients maximise their opportunities to save money and are in the best position to get into the market.
After being in the finance industry since 2012 and being a small business owner herself, Tegan understands the barriers that self-employed clients face and their often unique requirements when it comes to obtaining finance. Having worked closely with commercial finance brokers and bankers she is well versed in assisting clients with simple business structures through to those with a more complex set up and multiple entities. Tegan also looks to build a relationship with the accountants, bookkeepers and financial planners these client's partner with, helping to provide solutions that really are the best fit for the client.
With a firm belief in having a healthy balance between work and pleasure, Tegan finds this in spending time with family, friends and keeping fit. Tegan is always up for a laugh and it could be said, partial to a dad joke. A devoted dog owner, Tegan and husband Baz have 2 dalmatians – Ziggy & Spike – who provide a distraction from the working world, as does her love of cycling. You will see Tegan out on the bike most weekends, enjoying the company of other cyclists and the beautiful countryside. She also enjoys participating in charity rides like the Murray to Moyne with other local cyclists in the community.
Tegan is the trusted expert you need in your corner.
