Priority People
Craig Mackay

Craig’s range of experience in Residential lending, Investment property lending, Commercial lending and equipment leases allows him to help with all facets of your finance needs.

Chris Wolter
Finance Broker / Director
Chris was born in Sydney NSW but as a child followed his family throughout the state as they owned and operated several rural properties before eventually settling in Tamworth.
Professionally, Chris followed a career in sales and media before studying to become a fully qualified mortgage broker, joining the Priority team at the start of 2013. Chris believes achieving positive financial outcomes for his clients is the most rewarding aspect of his role at Priority – “Purchasing a home or real estate asset is the biggest thing many Aussies will do in their lives. Helping that dream become a reality and the satisfaction that comes with that is the reason I enjoy coming to work every day”.
Personally, Chris loves spending time with his family who are all dedicated basketball fans working towards their next American adventure together.

Larissa Lye
Finance Broker
Larissa joined Priority Home Loans as a trainee Mortgage Broker in 2019, after providing bookkeeping support to the team for several years prior. She came to mortgage broking after a decade in the allied health industry, so it was big career change!

Larissa has two young children who keep her very busy outside of work hours! Family and fun are of top priority for Larissa, and when she's not in the office working hard for her customers, you will find her spending quality time at home or travelling to visit family across the state.
