The newly created role has Timothy Schneider responsible for driving the growth strategy for the Mortgage Choice broker network that includes designing and delivering local, state, and national growth initiatives with national team support and working with state-based distribution and recruitment teams.
Mr Schneider carries over a decade of experience in mortgage aggregation, specifically in roles that worked closely with brokers in helping them grow their businesses. Prior to this, Mr Schneider was director, lending distribution at Loan Market Group, where he was in charge of the white label strategy and sales teams.

On his new role, Mr Schneider said: “The brilliant culture at REA Group was a huge drawcard in joining the team. Mortgage Choice has a long and respected history, and I’m excited to be part of its next chapter.
“I can’t wait to meet with brokers, listen to their ideas and identify best practice.
“Whether it’s helping brokers find more leads, creating efficiencies or removing roadblocks, I’m looking forward to rolling up my sleeves and delivering a raft of successful growth initiatives.”
