Oxygen Home Loans, after 19 successful years in operation with 25 brokers across Australia and more than $10bn in settlements, initiated a digital transformation in early 2021 under a new majority ownership group. The objective was to grow home loan settlements leveraging market-leading digital tools and technology. Prior to 2021, Oxygen only had limited digital capability, relying solely on its aggregator’s systems.
Oxygen Home Loans has a strong relationship with McGrath Real Estate, which has over 100 offices across Australia, selling approximately 14,000 properties per year. Hundreds of thousands of attendees have visited those properties.
In 2021, the Oxygen team built from scratch a full interface into the McGrath CRM solution to provide a better agent and customer experience when visiting properties. One of the tools Oxygen built is a post Open for Inspection SMS web app that uses smartphone-first technology to allow customers to self-serve items related to the property. For example, customers can order a sales contract, building and pest report, and of course, obtain their financing via Oxygen. In addition, real estate agents can promote their brand, source new listing opportunities and gain valuable customer insights. The Oxygen technology saves significant administrative time for agents, who can focus on selling and customer relationship management. Consumers benefit via self-serve tools and easy access to experienced mortgage brokers who can assist in getting their finance sorted.
The result has increased Oxygen’s settlement volume significantly versus the previous year.
In the near term, Oxygen has a robust product road map planned, including the launch of the company’s own branded home loan.

Fillmore Construction was founded by Brent Fillmore in 1991. He was looking to start his own small construction business and the opportunity presented itself with many repeat client relationships. Through lessons learned from 13 years of managing projects, developing business and holding various VP roles with his previous employer, Brent formulated his own approach to running his company. He knew that the key to success was based on relationships and bringing repeated value to them. He was dedicated to the idea that one does not need hundreds of clients and instead must focus on ensuring that a smaller pool of clients was given the best service possible. With over 40 years of construction management experience Brent has remarkable expertise in nearly every facet of the construction industry.
