The former assistant treasurer reveals why the government was “uncomfortable” with brokers being included in the banking royal commission, and its reasons for scrapping its “action” on broker remuneration.

2. Billion Dollar Broker: How Deslie Taylor, Mortgage Choice Ormeau, settled $1bn in loans

Mortgage Choice Ormeau franchisee Deslie Taylor became a billion-dollar broker — settling $1 billion in loans — after her 13th year in business. Given that she’s writing large volumes of smaller loan sizes, having a systematic process and structure has been critical to her success, she says.

In this special episode of our new Billion Dollar Broker series, partnered by Mortgage Choice, we catch up with Deslie and Mortgage Choice’s director of national sales, David Zammit, to find out more. 

3. How Australia’s Broker of the Year 2021 is supporting Australia’s farmers

Ian Robinson, the founding director of agribusiness and corporate finance brokerage Robinson Sewell, was crowned Broker of the Year and Commercial Finance Broker of the Year at the Australian Broking Awards last year.

In this episode, released right at the beginning of 2022, we sit down with the regional broker to find out how he’s been supporting farmers during a rollercoaster few years, why his team is opening a new base, and his top tips for new brokers looking to write agri loans for the first time.

4. What the ALP would offer the financial services industry

The shadow financial services minister and shadow assistant treasurer, Stephen Jones MP, joined us ahead of the federal election for an exclusive podcast to talk about the valuable role that brokers play in supporting Australian borrowers and what the Australian Labor Party would offer the financial services, credit and superannuation space should it win.

5. New Broker: Why Tom ‘Turbo’ Trbojevic became a broker

Tom Trbojevic, or Tommy Turbo, may be best known for being a rugby league star but the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagle has been soaring to new heights as an asset finance broker, too.

In this episode of New Broker, the Brad Fittler Medal recipient 2021 reveals why he became a broker, the importance of training and CAFBA courses, and how he balances his professional sports career with his finance career. 

6. How this broker is making finance black and white for borrowers

Having formerly been a bank BDM before making the move into broking with his wife Jaimee, NSW broker Peter Vassilis was well versed in credit when he started his own brokerage, Black and White Finance. But what came as a surprise was the sheer time and effort it takes to write a loan as a broker.

In this episode of Elite Broker, recorded at the Connective Conference on the Sunshine Coast, we find out what processes and systems Peter has put in place to help fit all the aspects of broking into a working day.

7. How diversification was key for the Finance Broker of the Year 2021

After nearly 20 years in the broking industry and in banking before that, First Choice Mortgage Brokers broker director Tony Bice has seen the broker market go from strength to strength and offer more services and solutions to clients.

In this episode of Elite Broker, we sit down with Australia’s recently crowned Finance Broker of the Year to find out how he runs his fully diversified brokerage, what his succession plans are (and who the new “boss” will be), and his top tips for brokers looking to write more business. 

8. How this new broker wrote $80m in his 1st year

Writing $80 million in your first year of broking is an impressive feat for any broker, let alone a regional one, but GSC Finance Solutions’ Matt Turner has done just that, after hitting the ground running as a new broker.

In this episode, the Victorian broker reveals how he found his feet in the broking industry, why he thinks new brokers should join established brokerages rather than going it alone, and how he manages work/life balance.

9. How this commercial broker is smashing records

MoneyQuest Balwyn broker Scott Seng settled a whopping $119 million in the month of January — the highest amount settled in a month by any MoneyQuest franchisee in the network’s history.

In this episode of Elite Broker, the commercial broker tells us how he’s been building his commercial brokerage, his process for writing SME deals, and his top tips for new brokers looking to write commercial loans. 

10. Billion Dollar Broker: Australia’s Broker of the Year 2022 on his secrets to success

At the Australian Broking Awards earlier this year, Australia’s Commercial Broker of the Year, Grant Rheuben from Rheuben & Associates, was bestowed the title of Australia’s Broker of the Year 2022.

In this episode of Elite Broker, we catch up with this year’s top broker to find out how he delivers award-winning service.
