Damien Misfud
Credit Adviser
Damien started as a mobile lender at Suncorp looking after Brisbane based LJ Hooker offices which helped him learn the ins and outs of property finance due to the high exposure of transactions that he was involved in. At the same time, he was drawn to doing business finance for all the LJH franchise owners financing acquisitions of other real estate rent rolls and equipment. Suncorp then offered him and his team a finance franchise of LJ Hooker to work as a broker rather than a mobile lender. This was all back in 2003. For the next 6 years, he grew his team of brokers that were aligned to all the Brisbane based LJH offices that were in his franchise. In 2009 they registered the name Brisbane Financial Services and soon after setup our FP arm with Charter Financial Planning. Years later AMP acquired AXA which included Charter FP and they moved over to AMPFP in 2011. In 2018 they joined AMP Advice with the view that this would be the next big thing and changed their whole business to align with this program.
Outside of BFS, Damien is married with 3 kids with a 4th on the way.
Qualifications:
- Advance Diploma in Financial Planning
- Commissioner of Declarations
