"West Oak’s success has come from always putting our clients’ best interests first and always finding ways to improve and add more value to them"

Rebecca Shuttle has worked in the mortgage industry since she was 18 years old, resulting in a 17-year career thus far. She has held multiple positions, including in banks and brokerages, and then started her own company, MIMA Mortgage and Protection Advice, following the birth of her second child.
Self-employment enabled Rebecca to be more flexible for her family and have a better work-life balance. This was especially important after her daughter was found to be deaf. Rebecca is thrilled that her business has become so successful whilst enabling her to fulfil her family duties.
Rebecca is involved in residential, buy-to-let transactions and works with packagers to assist commercial business, such as bridging and second charges. She is also a qualified protection broker dealing with life insurance, critical illness and income protection, which ensures that her clients have full protection for their financial commitments.
Rebecca’s primary focus has always been on service and communication with clients. She believes that the peace of mind provided by regular contact, whether that is for a future, current or existing client, is an invaluable asset for a company to offer, especially when linked to something as stressful as personal finances.
Having spent so many years in the industry, there is very little Rebecca has not seen regarding a client’s mortgage circumstances or requirements. She has said with the current market, there is always something new which can be learnt and she is constantly adapting to her client’s needs.
The main insight Rebecca says she has learnt over the years is how valuable a broker’s role is to the client, and what brokers can add to someone’s experience of obtaining their mortgage over and above just arranging a product.
Rebecca mainly works from recommendations or clients who have seen her reviews. MIMA has grown substantially since starting in 2018. The organic growth of her business means she deals with clients who are familiar with her company’s excellent services and enthusiasm. This ensures she builds meaningful relationships which then lead to longstanding and repeat clients.
Rebecca loves seeing a client buy their first home and then working with them through the years to enable them to purchase their dream property and, in some cases, help their children buy their first home. She says she enjoys the entire process of her current role — being part broker, adviser, problem solver, boss, friend, confidante and even therapist.
Her goal is to keep improving on the services she offers to clients and continuing to recognise the importance of her involvement in a people-centred business. She believes that her main objective is to keep evolving and developing, and ultimately ensuring she provides the highest quality of service.
Turning to the future, Rebecca sees MIMA going from strength to strength and wants to see the broker she is currently mentoring reach the same level of success. She looks forward to growing her business further, and to being as happy in the next 15 years as she is now.
