THE BEST FORM OF DEFENCE IS ATTACK
If you're an existing mortgage broker then current market
conditions could be placing pressure on your earning potential.
Lending fell
again in March, the eighth fall in the past nine months with finance for
new homes recording a record fall for the month. First home finance has
been especially hard hit since the removal of the first home owner's boost, interest
rates have risen again not to mention the firm stance on loan volumesby the major banks and continued downward pressure on your commissions.
So here's the good news...
The "buzz" in recent times has been around "diversification",
but if you're not yet ready to take the leap into the likes of Insurance then a
simple and highly profitable extension to your current offering is by
adding commercial, plant and equipment loans.
This presents an opportunity to write larger deals with
greater commission and reduces your reliance on the volatile residential
market.
You'll likely already have your Certificate IV so you simply
need to undertake our specialised Bridging Program to gain your Diploma
Finance/Mortgage Broking Management - 3 days face-to-face, online, distance
or if you're already experience by RPL.
Face-to-face courses are running in Melbourne, Sydney,
Brisbane and Darwin during the next 3 weeks - you can be writing loans by the
start of the new financial year!
PLUS you'll accumulate 10 CPD points along the way.

Our General Manager, Andrew Hetherington, and a team of super-fit go getters are competing in the 2010 Kokoda Challenge as team 'Intellitrain'.
The Kokoda Challenge is Australia's premier competitive hiking team event where
teams of 4 people trek/run a 96km course through the Gold Coast Hinterland
