About Us

Dean Collings – Director and Mortgage Broker

Dean has amassed 17 years’ experience in Home Lending having spent many of these working for major banks and financial institutions in Brisbane. Over the years, Dean has successfully built meaningful contacts in the industry and achieved great results for clients – many of these being hard-working families. Dean is passionate about helping people realise their financial dreams and discover their home-loan potential and how it can best work for them – now and in the future.

Outside of the office, Dean’s interests include Cricket, Tennis, Footy and spending time with his young family. From a young age Dean’s involvement in the clubs he played his sport with ranged from volunteering to committee work, with a more recent step taken towards his young family. Dean is keen to add some value back to the clubs linked to his past, as well as grow some new relationship as his family grows into the school ages.

“Dean from the outset was great to deal with and helped educate us on the financial benefit of completing a home loan health check. Dean was able to complete a fast refinance which has benefitted us over $10K in the next 2-3 years. He always took our calls and answered E-mails promptly. We would definitely recommend Dean’s expertise, knowledge and willingness to always go the extra step to assist with any financial needs”.

“A huge thanks to Dean from Triibe Finance!

After a testing year in 2020 thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, we were not expecting to be in a position to purchase a property off the back of stand-downs at work, and reduced hours. But when things got back on track for us late in the year, Dean was in a position to support, recommend, and trial various lender options that would work for us under the circumstances (previously both sole-trader income earners).

Dean’s ability to push the lender to understand our specific circumstance, past financial history, and future serviceability was key in us being approved for the loan.

As a Melbourne-based couple, Dean’s communication was clear, concise, and understanding, and he made the entire process as simple as it could be, whilst never having to meet face-to-face.

I have no hesitation in recommending Triibe Finance for anyone looking to take out a new loan, refinance an existing loan, or simply to have a chat about your future options.

We wouldn’t be in this position unless a ‘hey, how are you going, what do you think of this scenario’ kind of conversation took place back in December, and for that, we’re eternally grateful.

We look forward to working with Dean over the life of our loan to always push for the best.

Thanks again.”

“I was very impressed with Dean, after having poor previous experience with other companies. I felt at ease through the entire process and stress free. It always felt like I was his only client, great job Dean, very happy family here!”

Jason – Victoria

“Our experience with Dean was excellent! Dean offered expert advice early on in our process ensuring we had all the information we could need to be informed and make the best decision for our situation. He communicated well throughout the process ensuring we knew exactly where things were at. Dean was happy and available to answer all of my – often stupid – questions and explain everything in simple terms. Importantly, Dean found us an excellent home loan product and rate that met all of our needs! We couldn’t be happier with our service from Dean and can’t recommend him highly enough! Thanks Dean!”

Scott and Rebecca – Brisbane

“Dean was fantastic right from our initial meeting through to settlement. His knowledge of the finance industry was exceptional. He spoke to us in language and terms that we understood, rather than use financial terminology that would confuse. He kept us informed of all progress throughout the process, and made us feel like every question we asked was valid, rather than wasting his time. Could not recommend his services high enough”.

Gabrielle – NSW

“Dean was brilliant. In an industry where a lot of people can overwhelm you with financial jargon, Dean was on our level. He broke things down to suit our situation and needs. On top of that, managed to turn around approval in under a week was great to manage our stress levels through to the unconditional point of the contract.
He was always available for a chat on our options or the process and made us feel like we were fully informed all the way.
Highly recommend getting the Triibe to help with your next purchase or even assess how your current mortgage is going against the options on the market.”

Brendan – Brisbane

“We discovered Dean & Triibe Finance through social media. After clearly listening to our requirements, Dean prepared a new package for us which suited our needs. He explained things in detail and answered questions diligently to make the transition to a new lender smooth & seamless. His knowledge, professionalism and follow through are superb. We strongly/highly/completely recommend working with Dean!”

Denis and Barbara – Brisbane

“Dean made the experience of refinancing so simple for us. We had not previously considered refinancing as it just all seemed too complicated. From the moment we first spoke with Dean we felt at ease with his professional and friendly demeanor. Dean made the whole process so easy, guiding us honestly through the whole process. We would not hesitate recommending Dean to anyone that is looking to refinance or looking to get a mortgage”.

Toby and Alisa – McLeans Ridges

“Working with Dean was a pleasure. He has a high level of industry knowledge and helped me turn around a complete refinance in under two weeks. He went out of his way to meet with me in person in order to gain an understanding of my objectives and again met with me personally to get contracts signed. Great communication and always kept me in the loop with how things were progressing. I highly recommend joining the Triibe, you won’t regret it!”

Daniel – Brisbane

“I highly recommend Dean at TRiiBE Finance. He is incredibly knowledgeable, responsive, thorough, prompt and professional. He went above and beyond to assist us in securing finance for our first home. Dean was readily available to answer any questions we had, and the entire process was very smooth”.

Joshua & Megan Brisbane

“Dean is the most professional, helpful person I think I have ever dealt with. I have only purchased a few properties so don’t always understand everything involved in the loan process. I also choose a very difficult property to purchase this time and the process was lengthy and complicated. Dean was truly amazing and ensured I never had to worry or think about anything pertaining to the loan. I think I was probably his most time-consuming and annoying client and he was always patient, quick to be helpful and reassuring. I would use TRiiBE Finance again without hesitation, Dean made the loan process so easy and efficient for me. As a result of my experiences, I trust TRiiBE Finance and recommend Dean 100%!”
