I want to create financial lightbulb moments that help you achieve your financial goals. My first step, always, is to get to know YOU – your vision, what you stand for and your goals. I’ll then research over 60 lenders to find the right loan deal for YOU, discuss how to protect yourself and then continue to review your position year-on-year. I specialise in home loans, investments loans, car loans, equipment finance and business, commercial and development loans. I believe in the value of true long-term relationships through honest conversations and always acting in your best interests. Outside of work, I try to spend quality time with my four beautiful children and wife - you'll see us at the beach, numerous sporting grounds, out for family dinners or kicking the ball out the back. I'm still football (soccer) mad and still manage to play although something tells me that I'm not as fast as I think I am.
Nelson Bedoya Arbelaez
Co-Founder & Finance Broker
In 2007, I transitioned from accounting into the broking industry, driven by the desire to explore new avenues of impact. Mortgage broking quickly became my passion, as it allowed me to help individuals achieve their financial goals and unlock new opportunities for growth. I focus on partnering with growth-minded individuals who are eager to Build, Invest, and Grow—whether that means purchasing a home, growing their business through commercial property acquisitions, or expanding their fleet through asset and business finance. The opportunities are endless. Throughout my career, I’ve earned various industry recognitions and accolades, which continue to fuel my drive to help clients realise their full potential. I believe in creating those "lightbulb moments" where people recognise the power of their financial possibilities and take confident steps toward success. While my professional life is centered on guiding growth, my personal life revolves around family, including my two mini Dachshunds, Astro and Nova. I enjoy spending time with them, playing football, tennis, listening to Spanish music, and traveling to gain new perspectives.
I have spent over 20 years working in the finance industry and it's something I'm very passionate about. I love tinkering with processes, finding solutions to challenges and supporting both our clients and our staff to understand their vision and goals while supporting them to achieve this. I have previously coached some of the largest businesses in NSW and have been brought into Build Invest Grow to align our founders' visions and values with our team. On weekends, I enjoy weight lifting and catching a movie at the cinemas but I find the most joy spending time with my wife and my two wonderful girls. A big learning for me as I grow older is that you can have all the nicest things in the world but at the end of the day all that can be take away from you in the blink of an eye and what brings true happiness is making a home your own and the valuable time you spend with your family and friends. Now.....let's find you your next home!

I live in the Shire area of Sydney with my partner and our three children, and I value balancing a fulfilling career with family life and personal interests.
I've recently relocated back to regional NSW having been in Sydney for most of my career. At Build Invest Grow I enjoy connecting with our existing clients to ensure we always have their best interests in mind by way of repricing their loans for and attending to their various post settlement requirements. I'm often happiest working on our asset clients settlements and always love making that phone call that their finance has settled and they can go get their new car. I love hearing their excitement and feel proud that we helped achieve that experience for them. Outside of work, I enjoy learning to surf again, this time with my children, road trips and exploring the multitude of waterfalls and food options in our region.
