About Jayden
Jayden's background is not residential. He came up through private and commercial banking, working with high-net-worth clients and property developers, and ran his own commercial finance business before joining Hunter Galloway in 2018.
He got into the industry young. While studying business and IT, he was matched with a mentor in Tim Brown, then chairman of the MFAA. By 2015 MPA Magazine ranked him the second-highest commercial mortgage broker in Australia, and the FBAA named him Commercial Finance Broker of the Year in 2016 and 2017, and National Mortgage Broker of the Year in 2017.
At Hunter Galloway that commercial grounding goes into the residential files that are not straightforward: bridging finance while a client sells, construction loans drawn down in stages, self-employed applicants, and buyers working to a settlement date that has already been set.
Jayden was a finalist for Broker of the Year (QLD/NT) at the Connective Excellence Awards in 2024 and 2025.
Hunter Galloway won Brokerage of the Year (< 5 Brokers, QLD/NT) at the Connective Excellence Awards in 2024 and 2025.

Heidi Pearson and Jayden Vecchio were amazing, supportive, responsive and extremely professional throughout the process. Heidi was on top of her work and there was never a single instance where I had to follow-up or was left uninformed. Her due diligence was always up to the mark.
