Get to know David Hartas, your local broker for Adelaide Hills

Leading Bridge Lending Group, I focus on helping South Australians bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be financially.

My career began in hospitality as a Chef and Pâtissier before running my own business. Managing people, budgets, and service standards taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of clear communication and values that underpin how I work with clients today.

Moving into finance was a natural progression. Seeing the difference the right lending structure can make inspired me to help others achieve that same confidence. Helping a young couple secure their first home confirmed that this career is about genuine connection and lasting impact.

Bridge Lending Group supports first-home buyers, self-employed clients, and regional borrowers through simple, transparent lending. My focus is always on listening first, advising second and communicating clearly so clients can make informed, confident decisions.

I’m based in the Adelaide Hills and active in local sport and community life. Authenticity, reliability, and connection are values I live by and the foundation of how Bridge Lending Group supports every client.
