Business decision pays off

Empire Bay couple Zac and Leigh Peteh decided to establish their own mortgage broker business over two years ago and their decision has paid off.

Mr and Ms Peteh's business, Mint Equity at Somersby, has just taken out the award for Best Regional Office in the 2017 Better Business Awards.

The award recognised the individual office in a regional location that had most effectively driven business growth over the previous 12 months.

Mint Equity, a mortgage broker, increased their Residential Loan Book by 339 per cent from financial year 2015 to financial year 2016.

This was due to a 239 per cent increase of residential home loans for the same period.

Ms Peteh said: "We've done this purely by increasing the number of repeat business and referrals and not by the acquisition of additional brokers, purchasing an existing book or big budget marketing.

"Our clients love what we're doing and they keep coming back for more. It's a good feeling and a great achievement."

The Better Business Awards is the mortgage and finance industry's leading program for state-based performance focused on mortgage brokers and the lenders and service providers that support them.
