Broker market share sits at 76.7%, but pre-approval-to-settlement conversion has dropped nearly twenty points in three years. The gap is operational. Alvo for Brokers exists to close it, starting with the benchmark dataset built across fifteen years inside the funnels that set the numbers.
MFAA data has broker market share at 76.7% of all new Australian residential loans in the December 2025 quarter, with a record $142.2 billion settled. The competition is no longer brokers versus banks. It is brokers versus brokers, and lender proprietary channels eating the same ground.
Across the funnels Alvo has measured, the two stages absorbing 75-85% of total leakage are Account Created and Contact Progressing. Most brokerages have never been benchmarked on either, and the gap between knowing and not knowing is worth tens of settlements a year.
AI tooling now compresses the fix. Voice agents handling after-hours enquiries, automated nurture for leads stuck at contact attempted, refinance-versus-purchase routing on enquiry signal. All off-the-shelf builds today.
The Alvo for Brokers benchmark dataset is drawn from fifteen years building and running broker acquisition funnels at a Tier One Property Portal, a Tier One Digital Broking Group, and a series of lender proprietary channels. Industry-side counterparties are anonymised throughout. The data is not.
The dataset is refreshed annually and cross-referenced against the most recent twelve months of broker audits Alvo has run. It covers the full waterfall: CTR, Account Created, Contact, CP (Contact Progressing), STL, Unconditional, Settlement, plus the appointment-booking parallel.
We bring working familiarity with the MFAA and Finsure aggregator landscape, the standard broker tech stack, and the operational reality of running a 10-50 broker brokerage. The recommendations are grounded in those constraints, not abstracted from them.
