Kate, welcome to this episode of the Australian Finance Podcast.
It's good to be back, Owen.
We have two fantastic guests with us, experts. One is a veteran of the Australian Finance Podcast. The other is new to us. We have Amy Linardi from amylinardi.com.au. You can find out more about Amy if you listen to our recent podcast. She's also got a podcast of her own, She's a buyer's advocate and she's helped us with our recent course. Amy, welcome back to the show.
Oh, so good to be back. I've missed you guys.
We've got a lot to catch up on and maybe we can do that in a future episode, but I'll welcome our other guest who is Chris Bates. Chris comes from Wealthful in Sydney and He's a mortgage broker. Chris, welcome to the Australian Finance Podcast. Thank you so much, Owen and Kate. Hi, Amy. Chris, if I'm not mistaken, we're recording this early 2021. Your firm, Wealthful, just won an award or was voted in the very high ranks of the Australian mortgage broking industry. Is that right?
Yep, we are. We had a pretty big 2020 year in growth and 2021 is similar. And yeah, every year the mortgage brokers sort of apply for this top 100 award and we came ninth in the country, which, you know, it's based on basically how much loans you write as a volume. This doesn't mean technically the best broker, but it's just if you, that one metric, it mainly sort of ranks you. So yeah, we're very happy as a team how... how many people we helped ultimately because that's, you know, by doing a lot of loans, it means there's a lot of customers and clients that have gone through a journey with us and a lot of them have purchased their first home or upgraded or done renovations. So that for us is a huge, you know, great to receive because it just shows the impact we're making.
Yeah, totally. And you, Sarah and I, my wife and I, we can be counted as one of your or two of your customers in 2020 and we're thrilled with that. So thanks to you and Ben and the team for helping us out there. So today... For those who don't know, Kate and I have been working with Chris and Amy, and Chris and Amy have done the grunt work here.
