MORTGAGE BROKERS Croom


Welcome to the Croom home loan experts.

We've been helping Croom home buyers, investors and families since 2014, with home loan advice that works for you - not the bank.

We had a great experience with Greg from SimpleFin regarding what to do with our home loan, the funds we had in offset and how we could look to invest for our future. We would have set our home loans up all wrong if it wasn't for Greg. Highly recommend working with him, it was great!." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Your first home or your fifth, SimpleFin help make Croom home loans and financing simple. With access to 60+ leading lenders, no pushy sales, no confusing lingo, just local finance experts that find real options that works for you.


Greg began his broking career in 2014 at a boutique mortgage brokerage on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, quickly mastering the ever-changing lending landscape. In 2016, he joined NAB as an in-house mortgage broker, working with MLC (now IOOF/Insignia) Financial Planners, where his strong relationships and client-first approach led to rapid success.


From 2017 to 2024, Greg held key roles at PLAN, Choice, FAST, and Loan Market, ultimately serving as State Manager under Loan Market’s new private ownership.


Now, as a proud Wollongong local with a young family, Greg is dedicated to helping Wollongong locals achieve their financial dreams through home ownership and wealth creation.

  • What are 7 reasons why Croom 2527 is a great place to buy a home or invest?

    Croom (postcode 2527), located in the Shellharbour region of the Illawarra, NSW, is a thriving suburb that continues to attract homebuyers and property investors alike. Here are 7 compelling reasons why it’s a great place to buy a home or invest:


    1. Strong Population Growth & Demand

    Croom has experienced consistent population growth due to its appeal for families, retirees, and professionals. Its location offers a semi-rural lifestyle with convenient access to larger cities, making it a popular choice for tree-changers and sea-changers seeking affordability without sacrificing accessibility.


    2. Proximity to Wollongong and Sydney

    Croom is just 20 minutes from Wollongong and around 1.5 hours to Sydney by car, giving residents access to employment, education, and medical services in major centres while enjoying a quieter, more relaxed lifestyle. This proximity drives both owner-occupier demand and rental interest from commuters.


    3. Affordable Real Estate Compared to Nearby Areas

    As of mid-2025, property prices in Croom remain more affordable than coastal suburbs like Shellharbour or Kiama, offering better entry points for first-home buyers and higher yield potential for investors. The median house price has seen healthy capital growth while still being within reach for families.


    4. Local Infrastructure and Amenities

    Croom is well-serviced with excellent infrastructure, including:

    * Schools (Croom High School, Mount Terry Public School)

    * Shops and services (Croom Shopping Village, cafes, medical centres)

    * Croom Train Station and nearby Croom Airport, which provides connectivity for light aircraft and recreation.
These amenities make it a self-sufficient suburb that continues to grow in value.


    5. Transport and Bypass Upgrades

    The Croom Rail Bypass (opened in 2021) has drastically improved traffic flow, reduced congestion, and enhanced connectivity to the Princes Highway. These upgrades have made the area more attractive for daily commuters and boosted overall liveability.


    6. Family-Friendly Lifestyle and Green Spaces

    The suburb is known for its family-friendly appeal, with numerous parks, walking trails, and playgrounds. The nearby Macquarie Pass National Park, Lake Illawarra, and Jamberoo Action Park offer plenty of recreational opportunities. This lifestyle appeal supports long-term owner occupancy and rental stability.


    7. Strong Rental Yields and Low Vacancy Rates

    Croom offers solid rental yields, especially for houses, due to its combination of affordability, location, and liveability. Rental demand is strong among local families and professionals relocating from Sydney or Wollongong, and the vacancy rate has historically remained low, indicating a robust rental market.


    If you’re looking to position yourself in a suburb with steady capital growth, great liveability, and long-term upside, Croom is worth serious consideration for both homebuyers and investors.
