“The housing market had been red hot, mainly due to low interest rates and the removal of the loan-to-value ratio restrictions for most of last year. People decided they wanted to take advantage of it and the pandemic wasn’t about to stop them,” says Jordan Cameron, the company’s founder.
Total Mortgages employed additional staff in 2021 in response to this high demand and is now comprised of a tightly knit team of experts.
“We had to rethink our approach to how we kept our clients informed about what was going on, which resulted in setting a realistic deadline from the
get-go and adding in extra updates along the away. As a result, we saw a lot more satisfied customers and positive feedback, even with a two-to-three-week delay.
“While the lenders were at capacity and unable to work any faster, it was difficult for our clients to understand that the extra processing time it was taking wasn’t due to their financial position, but an industry-wide influx in applications,” he says.
The adviser attributes the company’s success to being time efficient and able to iron out processes.
Subscribing to the adage “don’t put off till tomorrow what can be done today,” Jordan says a rapid turnaround is one of the features that separates Total Mortgages from its competitors. Committed to researching the latest technologies, he ensures all processes are streamlined to provide customers with the smoothest experience possible.
Mentoring is a passion for him, and one of his short-term goals being to further grow his current team and welcome other advisers into what he believes to be an incredibly rewarding sector.
“We’re very proud of our achievements. We are building an awesome team and we are always looking for keen, enthusiastic people to join us.”
With 14 years of accumulated expertise, Total Mortgages is entering its seventh year, and has only just scratched the surface. The company is looking forward to expanding further and moving into exciting new territories in
the future.
For the last three years running, this independently owned brokerage, based in Hamilton, has been recognised as one of the top mortgage advisers in the country.
