Like my mate David Mercer, I’ve helped plenty of people achieve their property related goals – from purchasing a family home or bach to investment in residential and commercial property.
The real kick for me is in helping first home buyers who are excited by the prospect of home ownership but feel unsure of each step they need to take. It wasn’t so long ago that I was in the same boat and while I recall the awesome feeling of having my own place I had no one to guide me so was pretty relieved that the process was over!
And that’s one of the reasons why I decided to be a mortgage broker – to literally help people through the process of buying a home.
Financial services is the only business I know. I actually started my career with insurance heavyweight Sovereign then moved to a ground breaking sales role with ING Life and in 2005 I turned my focus to mortgage broking and haven’t looked back.
I’m married to Kirsty and when not hanging out together I’m likely to be fishing or competing in a woodchopping event somewhere.
