Harcourts Financial Services experiencing rapid growth
As a division of Harcourts, Australasia’s fastest growing Real Estate Group, Harcourts Financial Services (HFS) has
Harcourts Financial Services
experienced significant growth through 2009 with robust targets set for its next financial year.
HFS will focus on continuing this growth via some robust targets set for the next 12 months.
CEO of HFS Andy Graham said the division is looking to build on the good growth achieved in 2009.
“Our monthly written applications increased by 149 per cent from what we were achieving at the start of the year,” said Mr Graham.
“We have a base of 45 outstanding mortgage consultants right around the country, with the aim to continue to build our team to 70 high-quality, industry-compliant people over the next 12 months.
The opportunity that arises from the Harcourts Real Estate Gateway, coupled with our strong focus to add some real value to the clients property transaction gives our brokers an ideal scenario to build a significant business,” he said.
“We have a strong focus on developing our people via business planning, industry training, and personal development.
“This is evidenced by one of our team members, Meagan Fry, becoming a finalist at the upcoming MFAA Excellence awards to be held in Sydney on 12 March, Mr Graham said.
Meagan has been nominated in the highly competitive 2010 MFAA Excellence Award individual achievement category.
2010 will be a significant year in the mortgage brokering industry with the impending Credit Licensing Regulations.
“I see this new regulation as a real positive for our business and will assist in building the professionalism of our industry.
“It will weed out the cowboys and under-achievers from the dedicated industry participants, as well as improving our positioning and credibility in the market place.”
“We look forward to our next financial year, assisting our clients, developing a one stop scenario for all Harcourts clients, and continuing to diversify our business via other avenues such general and risk insurance sales, and asset finance opportunities.”
