Merger comes amid a period of tremendous growth for Queensland capital
Flint Group has pitched its flag in Brisbane through a merger with brokerage FPW Group.
Following the merger, FPW Group director James Green has taken up the role of Flint Brisbane director and office lead. FPW Group is in the process of merging all finance operations and rebranding under the Flint name.
Green is joined by directors Timothy Rough, Will Tucker and Mitchell Donnolley, finance broker Diego Aguirre-Davies, and senior customer experience Margaret Glazebrook.
“Over the past seven years, FPW Group has grown into a business I’m incredibly proud of,” said Green.
“But standing still isn’t an option in this industry,” he added. “Mortgage broking is evolving quickly, and to keep delivering at a high level for clients, I knew I needed to evolve with it.
“The timing felt right to join Flint because we share the same view on where broking is heading – a smarter, more agile, technology-driven model that gives both brokers and clients a real edge. Being part of Flint allows me to scale faster, access deeper support, and help lead something genuinely new in the industry.
Three more brokers are expected to be onboarded in 2026.
Brisbane’s breakneck growth
Flint’s entry to the Brisbane market comes amid a period of breakneck growth for the Queensland capital.
The city entered the million-dollar club earlier this year, with its median house value surpassing $1 million for the first time in May.
As of July, Brisbane’s median house value sat around $63,000 higher than Melbourne’s and $30,000 more than Canberra’s, per Cotality data.
“Brisbane is in the middle of a once-in-a-generation growth phase,” said Green. “With the Olympics on the horizon and significant investment reshaping the city, the opportunity here is enormous.
“Our long-term vision is to position Flint Brisbane as the brokerage built for what the city is becoming, not what it used to be. We want to be the trusted partner for people navigating growth, investment, relocation and major financial decisions in a rapidly changing market.”
Aguirre-Davies explained how Brisbane is also quickly becoming one of the most attractive investment markets in the country.
“Population growth is strong, vacancy rates are tight, yields remain healthy, and the lead-up to the Olympics is accelerating infrastructure and urban renewal,” he said. “What was once talked about as the next big thing is now very much happening.
