Jason Given
Jason co-founded Lendology to give Adelaide borrowers honest, expert advice that is genuinely in their corner. He has been broking in Adelaide since 2018 and holds the MFPA designation — one of the first four awarded in South Australia.
About Jason
Jason Given is the Director and co-founder of Lendology, an independent mortgage brokerage based in Daw Park, Adelaide. He has been helping Adelaide residents navigate home loans since 2018 — first through his own brokerage franchise, and since 2024 through Lendology, the business he built from the ground up with his business partner Steve Chin.
Jason holds the MFPA designation from the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia — one of the first four brokers in South Australia to receive it. He is an active MFAA member and attends BNI Synergy weekly, where he has built a trusted network of professional referral partners across Adelaide.
His approach is thorough and personal. Every client Jason works with gets his direct attention from the first conversation through to settlement and beyond. He does not hand files to junior staff or disappear after approval.
What Jason specialises in
Jason's particular strength is in complex and non-standard lending — the situations where a standard bank application gets declined or significantly undersells what is actually possible.
Self-employed borrowers, those going through separation, investors building a portfolio, buyers using bridging finance, and anyone whose income does not fit neatly into a payslip — these are the clients Jason navigates most comfortably. He knows which lenders have the most flexible policies for each situation, how to present an application in the strongest possible light, and how to structure a loan so it keeps working long after settlement.
He also works extensively with first home buyers — combining genuine expertise in government schemes and grants with the kind of clear, patient explanation that makes the process feel manageable.
Jason's approach
Clients consistently describe Jason as calm, clear, and genuinely invested in their outcome. He takes time to understand the full picture before making any recommendations — what you are trying to achieve, what your situation actually looks like, and what the right loan structure is for your life over the next five to ten years, not just for the application.
He is direct about what is and is not possible, and he does not tell clients what they want to hear if it is not in their interest. That honesty, combined with a deep understanding of the lending market across 60+ lenders, is what generates the outcomes that produce five-star reviews.
