The role of a mortgage adviser has never been more important, or more demanding. Shifting criteria, complex client circumstances and the current political and economic backdrop, today’s market rewards advisers who are committed and well supported.
Knowledge Sets You Apart
“Learn, learn, learn. Question everything, read criteria, throw yourself into the deep end and deliver for the client. Learn processes, learn systems, learn anything that can set you apart from others.”
– Jonathan Fowler, Fowler Smith
Mortgage advice isn’t static. Lenders change criteria, technology evolves and no two cases are ever the same. The advisers who thrive are those who lean into that complexity rather than shy away from it.
From Broker to Trusted Adviser
“It’s not enough to simply offer advice; today’s clients crave education. They want to understand the ‘why’ behind your recommendations.”
– Zita Latham, Zita Latham Mortgages
Today’s clients want more than a recommendation. They want reassurance, clarity and understanding. Education builds loyalty and long-term relationships, the kind that sustain a business through all market conditions.
Consistency Builds Results
“Your current client is your next three clients. If you do a great job for someone, you will win three more clients without needing to market or advertise.”
– Chris Philbrick, CJ Mortgage Hub
While markets fluctuate, the importance of a clear, repeatable process remains. Even when workloads increase or pressure builds, consistency is what keeps advisers delivering strong outcomes for clients. Focus on the client in front of you, and future business often takes care of itself.
Advice First. Always.
“Always make sure the clients’ needs are put first, even if it’s to say that what they’re looking to do really isn’t affordable.”
– Robert Dibb, Advoco Financial
Integrity and honesty remain at the heart of good advice, even when conversations are difficult. Clients may not always welcome tough messages, but they value honesty. Over time, that trust leads to repeat business and referrals.
Network Support
No adviser succeeds entirely on their own. Having access to expert guidance and reassurance can make a real difference, especially when cases become complex. The support of an established network allows you to focus on delivering great advice, knowing you’re backed by people who understand the challenges of the role.
"I’ve been with the network for about 7 years now and I speak with most departments frequently, there isn’t a single person that I don’t feel I could call, and I always feel fully supported." - Tracey Boyd, Mortgage Hub Expert
“If I am ever in need of help, I know I can pick up the phone or email, and someone will be able to help me. Asking for help can feel like admitting defeat, but when I do, I feel relieved.” – Chris Philbrick, CJ Mortgage Hub
