Hi Team,
Just wondering how you guys handle enquirers from other states across aus.
Do you refer them on, travel to the client or try operate over skype/email etc.
For bonus points, anyone have any insight on the best state to be a mortgage broker in, or at least to base yourself? I imagine heated property markets and greater population would be an advantage (Melbs, Syd, Bris) but at the same time there would also be more competition.
Any insight or someone that can draw on their own personal experience would be appreciated beyond comprehension.
Cheers,
Richard Taylor

Hi Marcus
Yes interstate and worldwide.
I am currently over in the UK seeing some a number of our forum clients and have visited many of our clients in Singapore & Dubai.
I regularly visit clients in VIC & NSW although i do have a partner in Melbourne.
Can’t comment which is the best State to operate in as i have always lived in QLD since i arrived from the UK in the mid 90’s.
Cheers

Same as Richard, we have clients all over Australia, US, UK, Europe, Asia etc.
Haven’t had any penguins from Antarctica yet – but we’ll keep an eye out. :)

Same here, clients all over. Skype, email, phone, text message, in person – whatever suits the client with their preferred communication method.
Think average loan size too per location – Sydney’s average would be a lot higher than Adelaide’s.
