About Tom
Tom is a rising star at Bernie Lewis Home Loans, he’s a young broker who’s intelligent and highly capable. Coming from a background in strength training, his first real passion, Tom is a motivated guy that pushes to get the most out of his body and mind. He’s recently caught the golf bug, so spends the bulk of his free time on the green, much to his girlfriend’s frustration. Tom loves relaxing at a good AirBnb or golf resort, if he can get a break in from his bustling schedule. He is adept in the art of pet naming too, with two dogs named Fred & Wilma, and a cat called Moira… how brilliant!
Tom graduated from the University of Adelaide with a Bachelor of Finance, and quickly began his career as a Business Banker. After dipping his toes in the waters of a big 4 bank, Tom decided to try his hand at mortgage broking with the Bernie Lewis Home Loans family. He established his own personal training business before he could buy a beer at age 17, which displays his endeavour to make a positive impact on the lives of others. Tom has an extraordinary capacity to absorb information and strategize with foresight. He provides a holistic approach to finance broking, enabling him to establish long-term financial success and personal growth for his clients.
Tom genuinely just loves helping people, and he doesn’t just use words lightly… he is proven to put them into action. All you have to do to find confirmation of Tom’s follow through is to ask our owner Scott Matthews, whom he trains (punishes) in the gym to improve his health and fitness. Tom is an excellent collaborator and creates a welcoming environment for his clients, which is his key to a beneficial and lasting professional relationship. In the everchanging world of finance, growth and adaptability is integral, and with Tom you’ll be fortunate to working in tandem with a smart operator who has an eye on your future successes.
Testimonials
Tom Mather… There is too much to say.
In short, this man works magic. If you have a dream, see this guy; he will make it happen, even against the odds.
But it’s not only that—he genuinely cares.
After my experience with him, I trust him with my finances as I would a family member. I truly mean that. The qualities of this man are rare, and I am so grateful.
Our approval process should have been anything but easy. I had been searching for the right property for almost six months. However, we were only eligible to get a property about three months ago. Last week, my fiancé and I found the perfect property for us. However, we hadn’t properly started the pre-approval process. I told Tom it was a shame, and that I wished I had organized my finances sooner. To my surprise, he told me to go for it. I was so shocked. I replied, “But doesn’t it take quite some time to get this all organized?”
He assured me that he could make this happen. I then said, “But Tom, the auction is in 4 days, and they might not even accept my early offer as it probably won’t be enough.” He then explained everything clearly. We trusted him. We went for it.
Not only did Tom help us organize a subject-to-finance agreement, but he also got the loan approved within 4 days!!! AND… He significantly exceeded our expectations on how much we were able to borrow!!!! This helped us secure the house with our counteroffer (I’m telling you now, without him, we wouldn’t have been able to find a loan like this). I didn’t ask him to work as hard as he did. I didn’t even think it was possible to achieve such an amazing outcome within this extremely short timeframe. But this man was working on it still at 3 am some nights. I felt so bad, yet so grateful that he made it happen.
To have someone care this much and work this hard while rooting for you, when they’re not even family, felt surreal. I can’t tell you how grateful we are. It was the highest honour to be helped by such a genuine and caring man.
It didn’t look like it was going to happen at one point, but he calmly explained every minute detail along the entire process and was very reassuring. He transformed a chaotic situation into a smooth process. He is just incredible.
I will always go with Tom in the future. I will be recommending everyone I know who requires his services to see him.
Tom, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for bringing our dream into reality. Thank you for your exceptional service. Thank you for caring and guiding us through every step. As first-time home buyers, we didn’t know much. We have learned so much from you and sincerely appreciate all of your support. You are the best.

Tom went above and beyond what we were expecting and I have never met someone who is so committed to getting the most favourable outcome for their clients. His tenacious and determined attitude has not only allowed us to consolidate debt but it has also allowed us to plan for the future.
I would highly recommend, and advocate for, Tom’s brokerage services. He explains everything clearly and makes sure that there aren’t any nasty surprises- which is majorly advantageous when it comes to financial planning/debt consolidation.
If you’re in need of someone to assist with refinancing, debt consolidation and future planning, I would highly recommend Tom Mather.
Joseph & Milena
Tom was able to orchestrate a deal for us that not only significantly reduced our finance costs increased the size of our facility without the provision of further security. He was both quick and thorough in gathering the required information to take to market and then was able to use his existing relationships to secure a great outcome for our business.
The whole process has been seamless, Tom has done all the heavy lifting. I look forward to the ongoing relationship with him and our new bankers.

We found Tom Mather to be helpful, professional, and got on with our application quickly. We had used a Bernie Lewis broker many years before and Tom certainly lived up to the Bernie Lewis reputation of being good brokers. Nothing was too much trouble and we moved into our new home a week ago on the day of settlement, as planned. We will use Tom again in a heartbeat.

Buying my first property was stressful, but Tom guided me throughout, making the process easier. He was willing to do extra work and run around to ensure I got the lowest rate possible. Tom has great work ethic and always delivers what he promised. He always replies promptly which I really appreciate.

Tom is a gun! He was able to explain the jargon of switching mortgages in a way that was easy to understand. Tom filled us with confidence when making such a big financial decision in this weird climate. We’re grateful for his expertise and have already recommended his services to many friends!
