Get to Know Roger

What inspired you to become a Mortgage Broker?

My experience in the financial services and property sectors made becoming a Mortgage Broker a natural progression and the opportunity to help people achieve their property ownership dreams will always be inspiring for me.

What is the best part of being a Mortgage Broker?

I love solving problems, finding solutions and thinking outside of the box. As a Mortgage Broker there are plenty of opportunities to do that!

What have you found to be the most challenging aspect?

The ever-changing lending environment and keeping up to date with and on top of those changes.

What is your most memorable client experience?

There have been many and they all have the same theme - the look (or sound sometimes!) of delight from a client when you have done the best job you can and achieved the result that they wanted.

How would you sum up being a Mortgage Broker in three words?

Cool, Calm and Capable!

If you could have dinner with any three people (alive or dead), who would it be?

Elvis Presley (I don't know why... I'm not even really a fan but I think it would be an amazing experience!), King Henry VIII and my Nana (who would be very pleased that I invited Elvis).

If you weren't in Mortgage Broking, what would you do?

Something else that involved finance, property and people.

Roger was brilliant! He was hugely helpful throughout the whole process of buying our first home. As our circumstances changed, he was quick to update our strategy and kept us fully informed at every step. Roger was really easy to talk too, worked fast, and explained everything super well, so we learned a lot from him going through the process!

Roger went above and beyond for my family. We couldn’t recommend him enough!! He was available all the time and made the process so easy

Dannielle Shaw

From day dot Roger made my experience easy, quick and stress free. It was already a difficult time with my splitting from my partner and having to then go through the process of buying him out of our house. But this time became a lot easier and put my mind to ease quite quickly with how fast Roger worked, communicated well and made sure I was always looked after and kept in the loop constantly. In the past I haven’t had the best experiences with others but Roger from the mortgage lab made this time a whole lot different and better for me. I’ll definitely recommend Roger to others as I think very highly of him and I was very happy with the outcome.

Celeste Reardon

Roger was an absolute pleasure to work with. Prior to meeting with Roger, we had no knowledge behind us around purchasing a home and what steps needed to be taken. We we're not even looking at buying! Roger taught us more than we could have imagined, no question was a silly question and made us feel truly supported and backed till the very end. We now have our very own first home thanks to Roger; we are very appreciative to have worked with someone so efficient at his job. And extra thankful for his personal touch of going that extra mile for his clients. Thanks again Roger, it has been a pleasure.

Becs Reilly

Roger did an amazing job. He's outstanding at his job. As a first home buyer, I was quite anxious about the entire process of buying a house. Roger made my anxiety disappear, guided me through the process with quality advise, checked in regularly with me and responded quickly to any questions I had. I couldn't have been happier how everything went. Thank you, Roger! Without you, I'd still be running around aimlessly looking for a house.

Jan Eichmann

Roger was very helpful and always responsive to questions we had about the mortgage process. Coming from Australia there are some slight differences in the process and Roger was able to talk us through everything in a straightforward way making it easy to understand. He provided sound advice and found a solution that we were happy with. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Roger to someone looking for the first or 3rd mortgage.

Matt Itzstein

Roger did all the hard work us, he was always very professional and patient. Great attitude and was positive throughout the process. Would highly recommend him.

Alison Mitchell

Roger was amazing and made our dream come true after being declined by another mortgage company who didn’t even give us a chance. Roger was prepared to put the extra time in and make it work for us. We are now comfy, happy and secure in our first home. Thank you for making our dream come true.
