A Q&A with Les Tricklebank

Q: Do you charge a fee for your services?

A: No, I do not charge a fee for my services. My remuneration comes from the lenders, allowing me to offer my expertise and support to you without any cost.

Q: What types of loans or clients do you work with the most?

A: I work with a diverse portfolio of clients, supporting them through various stages of their homeownership and investment journeys. My focus is on assisting clients from the purchase of their first home to acquiring multiple investment properties. Whether clients are looking to invest personally or through superannuation, I tailor my services to their unique goals and desires. Each client has different needs, and I provide customised solutions to help them achieve their homeownership and investment aspirations.

Q: Why should someone choose you rather than going to a bank?

A: Choosing me as your mortgage broker offers several advantages over going directly to a bank:

·  Personalised Service: I provide tailored advice and support, ensuring that you get the best loan product suited to your unique needs.

·  Wide Range of Options: I have access to a wide network of lenders and loan products, giving you more choices than a single bank can offer.

·  Expertise and Experience: With my extensive knowledge of the mortgage industry spanning a 18 year period, I can navigate the complexities of the loan process and negotiate on your behalf.

·  Convenience: I handle all the paperwork and communication with lenders, saving you time and effort.

·  Ongoing Support: I offer continuous support even after your loan is settled, assisting with any future needs or queries.

Our support network includes a team of real estate agents, conveyancers, accountants, financial planners, buyers agents, and investment consultants, all ready to assist. This extensive network allows us to offer a holistic approach to your homeownership and investment journey, ensuring you have the best resources and advice at every stage.

Q: What areas do you service?

A: I service clients across Australia, leveraging technology to offer remote consultations and support. My primary focus is on the Gold Coast, but I am equipped to assist clients from all states and territories.

Q: What is your favourite thing about being a broker?

A: My favourite thing about being a mortgage broker is the opportunity to help people achieve their homeownership and investment goals. I find immense satisfaction in navigating the complexities of the mortgage process and providing personalised solutions that make a real difference in my clients' lives.
