Nectar Mortgages

Thank you to Sally Carmichael at La Trobe Financial who has obviously attended a lot of conferences right across the board and felt compelled to let Conference MC Supremo, and General Manager Stephen Harris just what she felt about it…. Would be rude not to share it with everyone…😊 Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to spend a few days with your amazing team. Everyone made me feel so welcome, they are a special bunch of people. I thoroughly enjoyed the connection and seeing how you guys interact as a group, The few days were extraordinary with great speakers who shared some personal, emotional but also fun stories. I am still reeling from the auction, it was something I have never experienced before. The love in that room was phenomenal for a truly genuine cause. You all must have been stoked to have raised such a significant amount, which I am sure will go a long way to helping those beautiful children. Thank you again, I feel very humble and have gained some great insight into your group and have taken away some very wise words. Sally – Here at Head office, we really appreciate this incredibly genuine feedback – let’s get our team and yours working closer together! #NectarMortgages #leadership #Hummingbird #latrobefinance Andrew Stevens, Paul Newell, Peter Gilchrist, Andy Haines, Eilis OCallaghan

Recently, Nectar Mortgages celebrated their 10th anniversary at their annual conference on the Gold Coast. One of the great things about Nectar is their commitment to supporting an increase in the share of female brokers, which is currently around 25%. This is a cause that is dear to the heart of Stephen Harris. Another great thing about Nectar is they know how to throw a party! Shoutout to Wallabies legend Jeremy Paul the love he gives brokers at the end of the video. P.S. Who knew it would take 3 days for eye liner to come off! #mortgagebroker #mortgagebroking #leadingladies #womeninfinance #womeninbusiness #WSWN #sfgempowher Suzi Trajanovski | Therese O’Neill | Justine McDonald | Siobhan Williams | Ann-Maree Lockett | Joanna James | Kristie Andrlik | Anja Pannek | Andrea McNaughton | Samantha Kyriakidis

Our closing keynote at our 10th Anniversary Nectar Mortgages Conference was carefully chosen in line with our culture of broker support – and right now not only our brokers but the whole industry needs a little reflection and some quality time with Bronwyn Penhaligon. She delivered (beautifully) the word of the year and probably the year before that is “Resilience”. Huge thanks for guiding us through your amazing toolbox and helping us to stop overthinking, procrastinating and getting stressed out. We know our Nectar Group family of brokers and their support teams are just a little bit more emotionally richer and stronger for your sharing of your breakthrough methodology – and also sharing a good laugh with Stephen Harris, our incredible general manager in this pic – thank you!

Today at Day 2 of our 10th Anniversary Nectar Conference we had a treat. An Inspirational talk by Christine Ewin who’s built an incredibly successful Real Estate Agency ‘My Agent Team’ in Bateman’s Bay, NSW. The talk was about her life, real estate, and her great friendship with our General Manager Stephen Harris and how that came about through referral business, love language and friendship. Some great outtakes from an emotionally powerful session were: “My love language is Acts of Service, I didn’t have a strategic business plan other than I wanted to be authentic and help people. The most rewarding thing I ever did (during the wildfires) in Batsman’s Bay was giving people access to my office to make those important calls and emails while everyone else’s electric was shot, and housing people who had lost their homes after the fires”. “Ignore the shit hurled at you from the cheap seats” Brené Brown Don’t let money change you… and… Try not to be a dick. #NectarMortgages #leadership #LorinNicholson #Hummingbird Thank you Christine from all of Team Nectar for a wonderfully powerful session Andy Haines Stephen Harris Paul Newell Peter Gilchrist

Today is Day One of our 10th Nectar Mortgages Conference and we have been honoured with a keynote from the inspirational Lorin Nicholson who had some inspiring messages for us. Adversity doesn’t make character Adversity reveals character Never ever give up. The greater the sacrifice it seems proportionally the greater reward. Lorin recognised that here at Nectar we’re in the business of helping people achieve their dreams, that was truly inspiring for us all. Thank you Lorin!

I am a passionate tennis player. This means my perception of my ability and reality are sorely misaligned. 😂 Great to get back on the court a few times a week and support my local Ocean Grove Tennis Club. #federerwannabe #tennis #mortgage #homeloans #oceangrove #geelong
