Thanks, Craig. It's great to be here.
And has it been a hectic start for you in 2022?
Oh, look, it's definitely started off with a bang. It's been extremely busy. I think we've still got record low interest rates. There's definitely still huge interest from buyers, lots of growth as well, which is great. So we're very, very busy and enjoying helping lots of people.
You know, there's lots of commentary at the moment. As the year starts, there's all these commentators, economists, of course. They all come out with their predictions, don't they, in terms of what they think is going to happen. Can that be a little bit frustrating for somebody in the mortgage game like yourself?
I mean, that's always been the case. There's lots of people that have their predictions. And I guess the reality is no one knows exactly what's going to happen when it's going to happen. I guess there are some fundamentals that we do know. It's just the timing that we need to confirm. So, you know, for example, we do know that interest rates will eventually go up.
