About Brent
The Mortgage Broker who thinks like a strategist.
Brent Bartelds founded Blok Finance to change the way people approach finance - from reactive to strategic.
Brent Bartelds
Founder & Principal Broker — Blok Finance
Brent spent the early part of his career watching clients get processed through the finance system - approved, settled, and forgotten. He knew there was a better way.
He founded Blok Finance with a different model: slow down, understand the full picture, and build a strategy that serves the client's wealth goals - not just their immediate lending need.
Today, Brent works with a select group of professionals, investors and families who want a long-term financial partner they can trust. His approach is direct, transparent, and always oriented toward the outcome that matters most - building lasting wealth.
What makes Brent different
- Thinks like a wealth strategist, not a transaction processor
- Builds genuine long-term client relationships
- Transparent, direct advice - no jargon, no spin
- Access to an extensive lender panel across every loan category
- Specialises in taking you from 1 property to a growing portfolio

Don't just take our word for it. Here is what our clients have to say about working with Brent.
Brent was absolutely fantastic to work with. He made the entire process of securing our loan incredibly simple and stress-free. His communication was exceptional, keeping us updated at every step. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for an adviser who genuinely cares.
Could not recommend Brent more highly. He took the time to understand our financial goals and found a structure that worked perfectly for our investment property. Professional, knowledgeable, and always available to answer our questions.
As first home buyers, we were quite overwhelmed by the process, but Brent was patient and explained everything clearly. He secured us a great rate and handled all the heavy lifting. A true professional who goes above and beyond for his clients.
Brent didn't just get us a loan - he completely changed how we think about our money. We've since purchased two investment properties and our financial position looks nothing like it did 3 years ago.
I came to Brent not knowing where to start. He gave me a clear strategy, found me a rate I couldn't get on my own, and handled everything. Three months later I had my first investment property.
Most brokers want to push you through the system as fast as possible. Brent actually sits down, thinks about your situation, and gives you his honest opinion. That's rare.
