Hearing Hannah Nguyen’s story will be aspirational for many - and rightly so. She is shooting the lights out with her volumes, though she is far from resting on her laurels.
Currently writing around $86 M with a goal of $100M (and then $150M), Hannah and her team operate with precision and structure to enable deals to flow smoothly through their well-oiled machine without every task being reliant on Hannah’s personal effort.
If you think of a surgical team, which has the prep-nurses, the surgeon and the post-operation support, that’s much like Hannah’s setup. Where Hannah is the surgeon and sets the tone for how the business operates.
Impressively, her last appointment time slot is at 4 pm, and clients find a way to fit around her schedule, not the other way round.
As you’d expect, Hannah has a strong grasp of loan structuring and though has a highly tuned loan submission process, in my opinion, what’s even more impressive is her capacity to guide and empower her team members to perform their role to the best of their ability.
This skill earns her loyalty, and moreover, gives her the confidence that clients will be well serviced, and provides her with the opportunity to have a work-life balance where she can enjoy the other responsibilities in her life.
Luke Howes is the typical story of an ‘overnight success’ 15 years in the making.
Better known as the founder of bankstatements.com.au, in our interview, Luke gives us the back story that brought us his fantastic innovation that now provides value for thousands of brokers and tens of thousands of clients alike.
Immersed in the entrepreneurial world for the better part of his working life, Luke readily admits that bankstatements.com.au was born out of continually listening to the market, tweaking and refining tech solutions until they landed on something ‘big’ (aka a ‘unicorn’ in the world of tech).
And like many a small business owner, Luke learned on the job through trial and error. He advises that while tech isn’t his strong suit, he was fortunate to have a brother who he partnered with to co-create their vision.
Experiencing rapid growth, Luke quickly found himself needing to hire, lead, promote, sell & delegate so he could build the business.
Luke’s story is a parallel for many brokers who also experience the challenges that arise at various points in their business, and I hope you enjoy his forthrightness, energy and get inspired about taking your business to the next level.
Like many a high performer, Nathan Aird is vividly clear on what’s important to him, and he is incredibly consistent in his approach to operating his brokerage so it can support his chosen lifestyle.
And, these days, Nathan strictly operates a Monday-Friday brokerage. For some, the thought of not putting in some hours on the weekend or doing ‘home appointments’ might make them nervous, but in Nathan’s case, it’s doing him a world of good...
By defining his boundaries and his values, it ensures that his time spent in the office is highly productive.
As Nathan said, he built his business by design so he could do great work for clients, and also have time to enjoy with those who matter most, namely his wife and his 3 boys.
And, though he doesn’t chase the ‘numbers’ or the ‘awards’, he does have his eye firmly on the key drivers that influence business results - namely, delivering a great client experience, always exceeding expectations, and having a great back office that can move each file quickly from application to settlement.
To introduce commercial lending to his clients, Nathan is well poised to deliver even more value and delight his clients, which in turn will be the catalyst for driving new business.

In this refreshingly honest interview, you’ll hear Mark Stevenson talk about the tribulations and triumphs of operating a broking business.
Mark is the Managing Director of Finance division of Bell Partners, a multifaceted professional services firm that aims to ‘put a ring’ around their clients so they can offer a suite of services to each client without needing to refer to people outside of the group.
As looking from afar, you’d think Mark has and the team have ‘got it made’ with all the referrals they could garner in-house.
And you’d be right, to a degree.
Though Mark certainly enjoys the benefit of generating a lot of leads in-house, as he candidly shares, the past 12 months hasn’t been without its challenges.
With operating overheads staying the same and settlement volumes being less predictable, Mark discusses how he has had to pivot, embrace resilience and remain highly focused to work through this challenging period and set up himself and his team up for the months and years ahead.
From banking to broking, Jake Biddle shares with us how he took 10 years of accumulated knowledge in the finance industry to setup Saint Finance.
And, though he’s on Australia’s west coast, it was his passion for the Saint Kilda football club that was the impetus behind the name.
Like most before him, though Jake initially relied on family & friends, he was able to reconnect with past clients and earn more referrals through the provision of outstanding service.
After several months, his long-term friend and former boss Chris joined him at Saint Finance where they are co-directors of the company.
As Jake shares, if you are going into business with someone, particularly as co-owners, you want to be certain that you can support each other and ride the bumps that can sometimes happen arise.
This is sage advice, as all too often, it can be easy to see the ‘upside’ of going into business with another person without necessarily taking the time to review potential risks, threats and/or challenges that can come with having a business partner and the responsibilities herewith.

From car showroom to running his own show, Nathan Smith is an impressive individual.
In this candid interview, Nathan takes us behind the scenes as to how he is building a respected, productive and high-value brokerage that is making a difference in more ways than one.
And, Nathan is also the first finance guest I’ve interviewed who is also a host of his own podcast, How Gen Y Buy - which in and of itself is educating and empowering his target audience to get their foot into the property market.
As the founder of Birdie Wealth, Nathan combines his love of tech, process optimisation and finance to deliver an efficient and highly referable service experience.
But it doesn’t stop there.
Each broker who joins the team is asked to “pull apart the process and put it together again” and improvements to be made, which optimises how the business operates and the service clients receive.
And that’s not the only thing Nathan and the team @ Birdie Wealth do differently.
Nathan and the team don’t do settlement gifts. Instead, they donate 4% of their upfront to a charity that’s close to his heart. So, for Birdie Wealth, their clients and their charity, it’s a win-win all around.
In this episode, we talk with Jason Cuerel, who shares his unusual journey to becoming a high performing loan writer.
Early in his career, Jason did a financial analysis of annual reports before transitioning to a retail sales role. It was in that role where one of these customers offered him a position with a non-bank lender which marked the beginning of his journey into the finance industry.
Jason and I discuss how occasionally, with the best of intentions, some brokers find themselves having ‘Analysis by Paralysis’ to find the right lending product, which can adversely affect getting the client’s commitment to proceed with a loan.
Jason tackles and talks about how a LOT of tools are readily available for brokers to use but are underutilized.
To keep things enjoyable and maintain a healthy mindset, Jason and his team head out on Friday’s for a team lunch so they can relax, unwind, have a laugh, and get ready to go again for the following week.
Jas gives us an overview of how he has grown his back-office team over time to accommodate the increase in volumes so his time is freed up to ‘workshop deals’ with clients.
Jason also touches on the general rule of his business is all about ‘if it’s not in the system, it never happened,” which has earned him a lot of referrals from existing clients.

At the surface, Sam Carrello comes across as a stereotypical Western Australian - laid back, friendly, happy with life.
And, though Sam is all these things, he’s also an astute broker who is quickly making headway with his operation, Napoleon Finance.
With broking experience accumulated over several years at some of Perth’s largest brokerages, Sam took a year’s hiatus from broking before returning with a vengeance.
And, unlike most ‘start-up’ business, Sam was able to connect with former referral partners to reignite the relationship and quickly drive new enquiry and write significant volumes virtually from Day 1.
In fact, they were good enough to earn him a guernsey in the MPA Top 100 in his first year under the brand.
Coupled with the proximity to the Perth CBD, their commitment to exceptional customer experience and his personal reputation, fortuitously, the team @ Napoleon Finance has been ‘shielded’ from some of the tougher market conditions that exist in WA.
With a goal to continue running a high-performance business, Sam is equally passionate about empowering his team to be the best they can and delivering a service that clients will tell others about.

In this interview, we tackle a taboo issue on having a great family and operating a successful business as a female in the Australian mortgage industry. Who says you can’t have both!
And what better person to share their opinion than one of the most successful brokers in the country, and arguably, Australia’s leading female broker, Sarah Thomson.

Equally, each member is clear on their role so they deliver a seamless customer experience.
It’s part of the secret sauce that’s helped Sarah build an enviable reputation as a broker and as a lead woman in finance.

Alex, like many brokers from the Wizard Home Loans brand began his broking life without a trail income, not many referrals and their tactics for growing volumes were like a melting pot of strategies combined together.
What Alex had in spades is a passion for serving clients - and with perseverance, sharpening his sales skills, and delivering exceptional service, he was able to build his momentum, confidence and his volumes.
It may sound like a cliche but Alex believes that there is no easy path to success.

If you’re an established, busy broker who is considering to hire or you have hired other people to help carry the load, you’ll enjoy this conversation with Paul Wright.
Paul exemplifies many of the qualities we have come to see and expect of high performing brokers.
Diligent, professional, builds trust, nurtures relationships and a strong commercial acumen are a handful of the qualities that come easily to mind.
Equally, Paul has also made the transition into a successful business owner, where he’s established a loyal and productive team of people who do a lot of the heavy lifting to consistently deliver great client outcomes.
Like many who’ve walked this path, Paul built collaborative relationships with other professionals so they could create new opportunities for each other, which is complemented by ongoing service to turn clients into his referral army.
Impressively, Paul has firm boundaries around client appointments, which are all conducted in-office between 9:30 to 5:30 pm. This structure enables, if not forces Paul to be highly productive during office hours so he can enjoy quality time with those who matter most to him.
In our interview, Paul also talks about some simple yet powerful ways to engage and demonstrate care and commitment to his employees - which in turn earns their loyalty and mitigates his biggest internal risk - losing staff and needing to train a new person.

To say James Hasselle is an impressive individual is an understatement. From starting a ‘greenfields’ Mortgage Choice in Burleigh Heads over a decade ago, these days, James enjoys having 3-times the market share that a typical broker would earn from their own suburb.
In real terms, this means they write a significant volume from local clientele due somewhat to their positioning in high-traffic areas, but also to investing into quality relationships with other local traders, and providing their clients a service experience that they can’t help but want to tell others about.
For example, clients are offered a snack and beverage from the in-house menu. It’s different, and worthy of talking about. And, if you call any of their three offices, there’s just one phone number, which keeps things really simple for clients.
Combined with other touch points like their annual home-loan health, it makes it easy for existing clients to return and for James’ team to be kept front of mind.
Equally impressive is the decision James implemented to change the delivery model for his business. With a team of 4 loan writers, he has personally stepped back from loan writing to he can focus solely on operating the business.
Not easy to do when you were writing $141 million per annum, but it’s a decision James knew would enable him to mentor and empower his team to become even more exceptional in their own right.
July 2019 was their first month under the new model, and they submitted the same volume as a year earlier without James writing a single loan.
Naturally, he will need to communicate effectively with existing clients to manage expectations, and to have great processes in place to handover new client enquiries, etc. Equally, this decision provides James an opportunity to establish new referral partnerships, and to spend quality time at home with his wife and young family.
Though it’s early days yet, James might just be onto something here and it’ll be interesting to see which other brokers will be bold enough to follow in his steps.

Daniel Hustwaite’s journey into becoming a broker was more by accident and good fortune than intention.
Starting out as a carpenter, then moving mortgage collections to help people who were in arrears, Daniel’s capability saw him quickly grow his corporate career where he eventually supervised a call centre that helped brokers understand the status of their loan applications.
At this point, someone whispered that he’d make a great broker, which was all the encouragement he needed.
For 6 years Daniel learned the craft at a brokerage called Loan Site, upon which he mustered the courage to start his own brokerage and hasn’t looked back.
A core source of generating new clientele came via strategic relationships with local estate agents.
Yes, they pay referrers for being warmly introduced, and as Daniel said, this provides the opportunity to service another client to an exceptionally high standard and earn new introductions into that client’s personal networks, which they would otherwise never be able to access.
And the strategy is clearly paying off.
Daniel’s personal settlement volumes are well in excess of $100M, and the brokerage is nudging $300M.
The collective volume has been achieved through ensuring that each broker is aligned to an estate agency near their home so their commute is small, but more importantly, that the rapport is high with the agents and clients alike.
Daniel is also acutely aware of the need for good systems and people, and to provide a culture where each person’s contribution is valued and recognised. As he says, he will look in the mirror and ask “would I want to work here”, and the answer is ever anything but a “yes”, he knows something might need to change or improve.
These strategies have seen Aqua FS’ volumes continue to grow along with strong employee loyalty and client advocacy.
With a passion for the industry, Daniels generously shares all in his interview.

Nowadays, as a veteran and consistent MPA Top 100 broker, Whiltlam Malkoun shares how some things have changed while some are still the same.
As an Aussie broker, in the early days, the head-office leads proved a lifeline to help him get in front of more people - which in turn boosted his experience and his confidence.
Over time, as Whitlam’s reputation grew, he found he went from being the hunter to the hunted. Or, as he says, he embraced the “AAA Theory”. Anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s a simple yet powerful philosophy that has contributed in no small way to building his network, his reputation and his income.
With a fervent belief that the more people you speak with, the more business you will do, Whitlam’s number do the talking for him. Not only is he an avid people-person, he loves educating clients on finances regardless of whether they’re an astute investor or a first-time home buyer who need some hand holding.
And over the years, while volumes have grown, so too has his need to manage the diary and ensure that family commitments are treated on par with his business responsibilities. As Whitlam shares, he’s now got his time management down to a fine art.
Actively involved in his local footy club and in his kids sporting activities, Whitlam is giving of his time and keen to continue making a difference at the grass roots level by making a financial contribution to the club for each person who books an appointment with him.
In Whitlam’s words, if starting out again, he’d bring on an admin support person sooner. Other than that, enjoy the nuggets of gold that Whitlam generously shares.

Occasionally, it’s easy to label high performing brokers as a ‘machine’ who just pump out the deals like a production line.
In reality, like many high performers, Nathan Taddeo shares that his success is really a combination of many attributes brought together.
And, this has evolved over time as the business has reinvented itself.
From a ‘one stop finance shop’, they decided to divest their interests in accounting and financial planning and focus solely on the one thing they are great at and could build their reputation around - lending solutions.
In doing so, they found it was easier to establish new referral relationships and drive an increase in lead volume. And, as Nathan explains, this was from ‘traditional’ and non-traditional referral sources.
Either way, that move paid off where Nathan and the team now have an abundant lead supply and their focus is on nurturing relationships, building trust, and delivering an exceptional level of service which is at the heart of their business model.
Though Nathan’s personal volumes are still impressive, they have been marginally decreasing so he can establish the right level of support back of house to ensure deals move quickly through to formal approval, while also growing the broking team.
The result? Credo Financial’s total volumes have grown 20% and look set to grow even more.
Like Nathan says, he backs his process, backs his people and together, they genuinely believe in the value of what they are doing, which is a powerful combination to build upon.
By the same token, Nathan readily admits there are days he wakes up and wonders what they are doing - which I refer to as being human. We all have moments of doubt, and it’s not the doubt or the challenge that defines us, but our decisions and actions as to how we move forward.

He might be Wyld by name, but when it comes to the lending solutions, Joel Wyld is anything but.
As the founder of Peasy, Joel’s honesty in this interview is refreshing in that even though the team @ Peasy are committed to exceptional service standards, he readily admits there are still opportunities for improvement, which will bring about future growth.
After transitioning out of AFG and into another broking business, Joel found the first 12 months tough going. With persistence and tenacity, he was able to scrape by, and eventually, build a more stable client base.
Then, he transitioned and moved into Oxygen Home Loans, and though they have strong relationships with the McGrath estate agencies, he found that most businesses were coming through relationships outside of the office.
Enter Peasy.
Peasy was where Joel could build his business his way without needing committees or red tape to make things happen.
In collaboration with his wife Amanda, together, they have built the foundations of the business, where Amanda’s structured and process-oriented style complements Joels’ more outgoing and optimistic approach.
These days, as the business matures, they’ve allocated specific team members with different personalities to perform the various roles to ensure the expectations and service standards remain high.
Like many other high performers, Joel has invested in good quality operational and administrative help to ensure clients continue to be serviced beyond settlement.
With a future goal of not just growing volumes, but growing a family as well, Joel will have a lot on his plate to keep himself challenged and occupied.

With a passion of helping other people, Sean Soole took his brokerage from a small operation to quickly having several divisions across multiple disciplines - namely conveyancing, insurance and property investment.
For the mortgage business, he grew this by acquiring trail books, putting on loan writers and building an efficient ‘back end’ to his business. And he got it down to a fine art - where his personal hands on time was only 30 to 40 minutes per file.
And in determining the ‘risk to reward’ benefit of acquiring trail books, Sean factored what return he’s achieve even if he never wrote a single loan from the trail book and only ‘collected’ the trail. And based on that math, he still came out ahead, so it made for an easier decision.
The trail book provided a solid source of recurring income, and allowed Sean to invest into more office support so could progressively step away from the business.
But it wasn’t all peachy. Though Sean has a passion for helping others, he was also needing to work through his own personal demons.
About this time, he scaled down the business from an east-coast operation to a smaller, more manageable business operating from Sydney. And through a partnership arrangement, he was able to step back from loan writing altogether while maintaining an equity arrangement.
These days, Sean’s focus is on helping others to operate their business with clarity and purpose. By helping people become more capable leaders, more adept and thinking and to connect and engage more effectively with their staff, suppliers and their customers, they can build a business which is more reliant on great systems and great people.

If you were judging Daniel Pym purely by office location, you’d think he’s got it made to be sitting in Australia’s highest performing Ray White office and writing up 7-figure deals to cardiologists, executives and other members of Sydney’s high-income community.
But that would be a narrow assessment.
The truth is that over 15+ years of broking, Daniel has made more mistakes than most, and had some experiences that you wouldn’t envy.
But these experiences, good, bad and indifferent have moulded Daniel’s values, his service proposition, and his work ethic.
Upon entering the industry, Daniel accelerated his learning simply by doing 50+ appointments per month. Back then, his process was less refined than it is today, but the sheer volume of activity built his knowledge, his competence, and his client base.
And, though the early days didn’t always go to plan it’s the sum total of these qualities that have contributed in no small way to Daniel earning the trust of his affluent clients and the estate agents whom he collaborates with.
With a philosophy of holding onto good people, Daniel recently opened up a second office in Erskineville and promoted his loan writer Tommy to run that branch.
You will appreciate Daniel’s candor in this interview where he helps us understand exactly what it’s been like to earn the kudos that is now coming his way.

When some people start their business, it’s to build a company that will outlast them. For others, like Victoria Coster, it was simply a means to support her young family.
But what started out as a part-time venture run from a small office in Parramatta has grown into a highly regarded agency that’s now helping thousands of consumers fix their credit problems.
This was achieved through key strategic decisions Victoria made.
# 1. Articulate a “no result, no fee” value proposition similar to that offered by brokers to their clients.
# 2. Build strong relationships with the broker network, who now provide the bulk of new clients that Credit Fix Solutions are able to help. This includes broker education, attending PD Days and building strong relationships at a broker and aggregator level.
This has proven to be a catalyst for ongoing growth to the extent that Victoria has now employed BDM’s in each state to service the ongoing demand and support the growth initiatives.
These days, the company is far more purpose-driven with the view of building an enterprise that is reliant on a great culture, systems and people, while also expanding its footprint into a new vertical market, legal.
The new division, Credit Fix Legal will offer legal support to people who are credit impaired.
Moreover, Victoria’s honesty about her journey is refreshing and inspiring.
Troy Chapman is the founder of Country Wide Wealth, a boutique financial planning practice that has seen exceptional growth since it’s inception 10 years ago.
As a business banker turned financial advisor, Troy Chapman recognised that to turn his practice into a business of substance would require more than just delivering outstanding service to clients.
For that reason, he sought to approach local service professionals such as accountants to establish formal joint venture agreements that would help deliver ongoing value for clients and for both service firms.
The net result is that Troy has since grown his practice into a business that now employs 4 full-time team members, with another advisor likely to join the team soon.
Though the JV formalises the process, like any good relationship, it still requires ongoing communication and investment into maintaining trust with each other so they can derive the full value. This means that occasionally, Troy will sit in a JV partner’s office, and so too will the broker’s that have joined his business.
The expansion into lending happened somewhat organically via a mortgage broking client whom Troy was already referring people to, and for which that broker is now an equity partner. The bulk of clients who are referred for lending is for refinancing, though as Troy outlines, the goal is to look at their whole situation and ensure that beyond a great rate, they are given a lending structure and strategy to pay their down as quickly as possible.
Key insights from the conversation with Troy include:

Every once in a while, a person comes along who sets standards for others can aspire to in terms of results and contribution.
Andrew Mirams is such a person.
A former banker, Andrew decided to take control of his own destiny by establishing a business where he could offer superior outcomes, services, and solutions to his clients.
And though this mantra is the fundamental proposition of many brokers, in Andrew’s case, it’s delivered upon in every component of his business to such a level of refinement that clients can’t help but want to tell others about their experience.
To be sure though, Andrew’s current standing amongst the top-most echelon of the broker landscape has been a journey of learning, effort and paying it forward.
With a positive ‘glass half full’ attitude and a way of communicating with clients that inspire what they can ‘gain’, not just ‘save’, Andrew’s service is complemented by a back office that frees up his time and delivers the outcomes clients expect.
A father of two, Andrew is cognisant of not just writing award-winning results, but doing something that his kids will be proud of.
Clearly, it’s working, as his son Lachlan is now a broker in the business and his daughter has helped shape his thinking and realise that difference he is making to people’s lives on a daily basis.
Naturally, a strong work ethic is a given to write prolific volumes, but it’s not without its rewards. In 2018, Andrew took 10-weeks off and is focused on playing the world’s top 100 golf courses.
