Now Mortgage Vision events are over for another year, what have we learned about mortgage brokers in our industry? What we know for sure is mortgage brokers are getting more creative to meet the evolving needs of their clients, because despite easing inflation, demand for complex lending is still high! The key takeaways from Mortgage Vision were this: ✅ Brokers are embracing tech and referrals to navigate market complexities. ✅ Specialist mortgage solutions are in demand, especially for those with diverse incomes or credit challenges. ✅ Expanding into underserved areas like commercial loans can boost business. ✅ Data-driven strategies help maintain strong client relationships. ✅ Regularly reviewing strategies helps brokers maximise referrals, upsell, stay compliant, and keep pace with market trends. 2024’s Mortgage Vision was the biggest-ever roadshow! With over 700 mortgage brokers attending across 12 locations nationwide and 21 sponsors and panel partners, the events were hosted by Mortgage Brain’s Neil Wyatt, Sales and Marketing Director, and Sharon Marshall, Sales Director Intermediaries. It was a massive success. Some venues were even packed beyond capacity! 🔥 The mortgage industry is buzzing, and brokers are more energised than ever! 👉 Read more about Mortgage Vision: https://bit.ly/4eSbm3k 👏 A huge shoutout to the AE3 team for their stellar organisational skills!

🎉 That’s a wrap! 🎉 Yesterday in Exeter marked the grand finale of this season’s Mortgage Vision events, and what a journey it’s been! This year’s tour has been our biggest and best ever, and we couldn’t have done it without you. 🚗 Over 1,700 miles travelled across England and Scotland, delivering insights, learning, and networking opportunities to local Mortgage Advisers. And the result? A hugely successful roadshow with over 700 brokers joining us along the way. (We’ve lost count of the bacon baps consumed, but trust us - it was a lot!) 🥓 We’ve received incredible feedback from mortgage brokers, but one quote that really summed up what Mortgage Vision is all about came from Jodene Smith of Just Mortgages Direct Ltd: “One of the lenders that we spoke to today we’ve never used before, and actually I’ve got a client that fits their criteria perfectly that I was struggling to place earlier in the week. So it is really, really helpful.” 💡 Keep that in mind for next year. A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, and an extra special shout-out to our event sponsors who made it all possible. 🙌Until next time!
