MPA speaks to some of the industry’s brightest new stars and discovers why the future of mortgage broking is in good hands
For new entrants into the mortgage broking game, it can be a tough industry to crack. It takes real drive, enthusiasm and the right mix of personal and professional skills to bring in leads, convert them into satisfied clients and start to generate the kind of settlement volumes that suggest all the hard work is paying off.
However, if the opinions of this year’s Young Guns are anything to go by, it’s a truly rewarding profession to move into. And, judging by this year’s crop of young talent, there are a number of new recruits coming into the industry who embody everything it takes to make a go of life as a modern mortgage broker – and drive the industry as a whole to greater heights.
In order to get a feel for the kind of young talent that’s entering the mortgage broking profession, we approached aggregators and asked them to put forward their young stars based on three key selection criteria: they had to be no older than 35, have spent no more than two years working as a mortgage broker, and could not have appeared in last year’s Young Guns special report.
Based on these criteria, we spoke to a number of new entrants to the broking world. Their interviews are presented throughout this report, and provide a fascinating insight into the kind of person the industry is now attracting, the challenges they face, the rewards of the job – and why the industry looks to be in good hands.
WE ARE BACKING YOU FROM DAY ONE
At ANZ, we’ve always treated brokers as valued business partners and appreciate their success underpins our own. That’s why we’ve set about backing our brokers from day one with training and accreditation to set them on the path towards becoming a Young Gun.
The MPA Young Guns feature recognises awesome talent and excellence among our mortgage broker future leaders. Each individual represented has been nominated by their aggregator and has been acknowledged for their customer skills, outstanding performance and overall business growth.
There is an enormous breadth and depth of talent highlighted in the MPA Young Guns feature this year and it gives us great pleasure to celebrate their excellence.
Being the best you can be extends far beyond being a loan-writing machine. At ANZ, we value relationships, professionalism, consistency, and business ethics. We see ongoing education as paramount to a successful career. We value true industry leaders who are focused on building sustainable businesses for the long term.
As you read on, you will learn about some exceptional people chosen from thousands of nominees who are ‘the ones to watch’ shape our future in a rapidly changing world.
It’s for this reason the MPA Young Guns feature is an honour roll all young brokers should aspire to achieving. We’ve been backing you from the start and we’ll be there cheering you on and backing you every step of the way.
