🗳️The voting lines are open and there’s only 1 week to go – so we’re calling for all Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) members to cast your votes ASAP! If you’d like to learn about the initiatives that our very own MQG member, John Mavroudis is campaigning for, keep reading! If you’ve haven’t had the pleasure of meeting John, he’s one of our longstanding MQG Members, who has always been committed to empowering brokers to thrive - particularly through advocacy for professional competency and development. Oh, and did we mention he’s one of our Diamond Club members?💎 With 18+ years in the industry, John is a dedicated advocate for brokers and their businesses. 🔑 Strengthening Competency and Security for Brokers - John believes that with the industry evolving, mortgage brokers need more than just reassurance of their income stability—you need beneficial tools to build confidence in your careers. That’s why he’s focused on training and development initiatives that will help brokers advance across all areas of lending. 🔎 Commercial Lending: An Untapped Market Opportunity - While mortgage brokers have successfully captured 71.8% of the residential home loan market, commercial lending still represents a largely untapped opportunity, with only 40%, or 4 out of every 10 commercial loans written by brokers. With a total commercial loan book reaching $78.12 billion, the potential for brokers to build stronger client relationships and expand into commercial lending is immense. 🏆 Why Diversifying Matters - For brokers, offering commercial lending not only builds lasting client relationships but also diversifies business revenue. Commercial clients often have ongoing finance needs, meaning brokers can provide more frequent and tailored support. This expansion doesn’t just protect business—it strengthens it by allowing brokers to serve a broader range of clients and meet more of their needs. 🌍 Supporting Brokers Nationwide - The MFAA has made strides with commercial lending workshops and foundational courses, and John is dedicated to expanding these opportunities, particularly as commercial lending grows across Australia, from New South Wales and ACT to Queensland, Victoria, and beyond. John’s vision is to see mortgage brokers thrive by seizing every growth opportunity while keeping client relationships strong. With his extensive experience, John is ready to represent you, ensuring brokers are empowered to shape the industry’s future with confidence. ✅ If you’re an MFAA member, your support matters!
