Find a finance or mortgage broker mentor

I am as passionate about lending as anyone can be. I love making people’s dreams come true. From years of banking experience I have learnt to wow every customer, generate sales, conduct excellent appointment, structure the deal and present it to the bank.

I love to pass on all this information to other brokers and have excellence in the industry.

I believe mortgage broking to be a great career but without proper support and guidance of a mentor it may lead to dissatisfaction and eventually closing down of ones newly set up business. My mentees get regular training and coaching, full back office support, great team to work with, branding and marketing and an office to work from.

Together Let’s make it bigger!

Rooma Nanda started her career in this industry after acquiring prodigious experience with corporate giants like IBM, Yellow pages and Toyota Money Home Loans.

Her pre-eminence in each field and companies she worked for, pushed her towards a destined vocation in the industry of property finance.

In 2008 Feb, just before GFC, she started her company in property finance, called All R Loans and took her business to the next level within a year.  Her formula, she says, was simply to switch off TV and radio, whilst media was bombarding doom and gloom during those days.  Rather than focusing on that negativity, she simply focused on customer service instead.  Within a decade, she acquired a paramount position in the industry by achieving various accolades along with her customers’ five star rating (evidenced in published testimonials).  To her, she says, customer satisfaction and their positive feedback is most important than any other achievement and is a driving force behind her continuous improvement.

Rooma has trained a number of aspiring brokers by conducting workshops on the weekends and helped a number of women start their careers in this industry. Her training is very simple but highly effective. Her hands-on experience in solving daily case scenarios is an invaluable intellectual asset which she shares with her mentees.

Eric Dong started his career as an Accountant in 2010. He subsequently ventured into financial services industry in 2012 initially as a financial planner, then a mortgage broker since 2013. He holds a MBA, Master of Financial Planning, Bachelor of Accounting, diploma of mortgage broking management and accreditation of RG146.

Taking the time to get to know clients and asking the right questions to get a good understanding of their full financial picture, is one of the things that EK Mortgage founding Director Eric Dong credits with building a loyal customer base. Eric estimates that approximately 95 per cent of his business now comes from customer referrals.

Eric could provide residential and commercial lending, asset finance, personal lending and general insurance services. Eric says the diversity of his product offering is one of the reasons why he gets a lot of repeat business from existing clients.

Often clients will approach him with a specific need in mind, but once he understands their full financial picture, Eric says he is able to offer them additional financial products that they may have not realised they could access. He believes that the true diversity of the mortgage and commercial finance industry is realised when brokers are able to unlock the diversity of client’s financial needs.

Achieving that legacy will no doubt be driven by his demonstrated ability to embrace difference and build trust with his clients and his determination to find new opportunities that best support their financial needs.

Writing loans is both great fun and sometimes ridiculously frustrating and occasionally both at the same time. You need to understand, people, process, numbers, compliance and possibly business management. I am sure you would not be considering this career if you did not back yourself to be able to manage most, if not all, of these items. As a mentor, our job is to be available to help with the areas that may need some work, be available when the obscure pops up and you may need a second opinion and most importantly, point out the funny side of your frustration when someone makes a simple process seem impossibly difficult. We are here to help you understand the essentials, assisting you to solve the tricky ones and remind you to laugh; we offer 23 years’ experience within the industry without tearing our hair out. We have knowledge in brokering, mortgage management, commercial, business loans, loan structuring, company as well as trust lending and motor vehicle finance. Our company has been running since Jan 2002 so we have some idea on longevity. Equally, we also know that there are likely to be new methods and practices that could help us improve our business too. We are comfortable that we have significant information to pass on but we are not yet too old to learn new tricks. We would hope to genuinely partner with anyone we mentored. With our desire to partner with our associates, we will not be a good fit for all, and all will not be a good fit for us. There are likely to be a few coffee meetings to confirm similar mindsets and expectations before we both take the plunge. Hopefully from there it will be fun and rewarding for both of us.

We try to take each individual and have them work at their own pace to get them up and running, enabling them to write home loans as quickly as they have the ability to learn. Anything new will take time to remember, so you will progress at your own pace with us helping you to achieve along the way.

Great opportunity for a new broker to learn the ropes and be mentored through their initial 2 years. You’ll have the benefit of learning how to package and present loan deals and keep on top of your compliance requirements. More importantly you’ll have the benefit of learning from a small business person with a sales and marketing background so I can help you with the biggest challenge a broker faces which is new client attraction.

I’d love to have someone on board that will help me with my own deals when I get busy on a commission share basis.

If you have your own brand and are passionate about it that’s fine, but if you think you’d love to come on board with my brand then there’s definitely a long term opportunity for the right person to become a Reality Home Loans Broker.

Richard has worked in the finance and sales industries since 2002 in various positions including management of credit and fraud teams across Asia and ANZ for American Express, credit card investigations, and door to door sales. I In his mid-twenties, he started investing in properties with his wife and has since built and developed a successful property investment portfolio. Since starting his own mortgage broking business in 2017, he has settled more than $55mil of loans in 2 years while also being awarded the FBAA Mentee of the Year in 2018 and being one the MPA Young Guns of 2019. He is now looking to expand on his business by welcoming new brokers into the industry. Why can he and his team help you?

• He continues to write loans so has the most up to date and practical knowledge of credit policies and procedures;
• Came from a background outside of the banks so can help new to industry brokers understand what it takes to achieve above average results in a short amount of time;
• With a background in sales, property investing, management, customer service, and now running his own company, there are life experiences he can share which will help that right person achieve success inside and outside of broking.

It’s about structure and success.

Simply Mentoring is a programme designed for new entrants to the industry. You can expect the structure and ongoing support you need to successfully achieve your business goals. You work through the programme and your mentor is there as a ‘guide from the side’ to help you through.

I am a dedicated finance professional who has spent the past 7 years building my broking business and mentoring other finance professionals. I have over 15 years of experience in banking and finance including a successful 9-year career with Westpac which included retail and business banking as well as leadership roles.

My mission is to mentor new entrants into the industry by coaching them to deliver a high standard of professionalism and work ethic, customer service, and to delivering great customer outcomes.

I will hold new entrants accountable to their goals whilst being supportive and encouraging. I will endeavour to teach you everything I’ve learnt over my successful career as well as my personal values of respect, integrity, trust and most importantly to enjoy everything that this industry has to offer.

Prior to joining the mortgage industry in 2004, I was in the banking industry since 1981 administering syndication credits, project finance and private banking with 5 years’ in international property finance as well as a number of years’ in investment and merchant banking. Last 5 years’ has registered a significant involvement in private lending and offshore capital raising.

Mentoring is not a one-way street. Neither will it guarantee a natural path to success. However, it does provide the opportunity to learn to understand market dynamics and systemic risks, not to repeat the common mistakes and avoid reinventing the wheel. Learning is a never-ending process for both the Mentor and the Mentee.

It is a guided process and unless there is a seriously strong and honest commitment, this relationship will fail. It takes reasonable time and effort to acquire technical knowledge and intangible skills, and understand processes and procedures. It definitely takes a lifetime to nurture and cultivate true character for the benefit of oneself and for those we assist.

Consider this –same mentor, same qualifications and work experience, same level of industry, credit and product knowledge and training, same panel of lenders with the same opportunity available at the same time to provide the same level of service, why does the client choose that particular finance broker over the rest?

Gerard was first introduced to the mortgage profession through an association with a development company in 2004. At that time, there was little regulation, even less compliance requirements and little technology to support the business. So as the profession has evolved and changed over the years since, so he has had to adapt and grow to meet the current requirements. But that background he believes provides a very solid base on which to provide support and mentoring for new and established brokers looking to enhance their services to their clients.

With many years of experience as a broker, business owner and BDM for a specialist lender, successful outcomes for clients usually just requires some thought be given to the options that are available, researching and presenting them to the client in a way that meet their needs and provides a solution.

The mentor program that Gerard offers is built around 8 key principles, with additional access to a range of business tools, including personal development and coaching programs that offer excellent support to a broker starting out or looking to expand and develop the product and services offered through the business.

You will need to commit to your future, have realistic but challenging goals and challenge yourself to do the best you can for your clients, and your success will follow.

Accelerate Your Success

When you choose to become a mortgage broker and operate your own business, getting mentored is one of those things not many people want to do even though it’s mandatory if you are new to industry.

For that reason, regardless of the mentor you select, you should ensure they fulfill the criteria below (which we do) to give you peace of mind and confidence that you are making the right decision:

• Structured program to build skills, confidence & knowledge
• Invests into their own mentoring (they also walk the walk)
• Confidentiality guaranteed
• Proven ability to help mentees forge successful career in broking

Australia’s youngest finance and mortgage brokers—those entering the finance industry fresh from university or tafe—are required by ASIC and Industry associations to undertake a formal mentoring program for the first two years, to get an in-depth job training surrounding compliance, credit policies, business management and professional code of practice.

Some mentoring programs do provide basic training support, but we have to admit that in the ever-changing world of banking and finance, it is not a standard practice; some mentors focus instead on hard-skills training to ensure the industry has technically proficient practitioners.

There is a growing need to incorporate soft skills and mentoring for young entrants in this industry who want to know how to manage and grow their business, and incorporate technology.

It’s important that we support the industry’s next generation; not only for the health of the finance industry over the long term, but for health of the real estate industry, the banking and the economy overall.

At Prospect Finance Group (PFG) we are committed to helping new entrants become a successful mortgage and finance professional. We prepare you for the challenges that lie ahead.

Having a current and qualified mortgage broker as your mentor/coach is in your advantage as we are currently in the business staying up to date with compliance and credit policies of different banks/lenders not only to mentor you but also with our clients.

Strong experience mortgage broker to help you achieve goals in mortgage broking industry, and performing high-standard customer service to achieve and exceed sales target.
