Mortgage Choice - About The Company
Mortgage Choice was established in 1992 with the aim of simplifying the whole process of getting a home loan.
Co-founders Rod and Peter Higgins had a vision of building a national franchise network of ethical and professional residential property mortgage brokers – that local communities could trust with service and who didn’t ‘play favourites’.
Today we provide specialist home loan advice on almost 400 residential home loan products from a panel of lenders (at no extra cost to our customers). As the Australian home loan market gets bigger every year, helping make the home loan process simple becomes more and more important.
In our 16 years we have helped more than 200,000 customers to find their home loan. You can find out more about which loans they choose in HomeLoan Choices, our monthly email bulletin.
Mortgage Choice has always been on the side of the customer, ensuring that our consumer protection initiatives are of the highest standard. We were the first broker to launch a customer charter, in which we fully disclose our service, all commissions paid, our privacy policy and complaints procedure.
Our high standards mean we have been recognised by numerous industry awards and accolades over the years.
We have grown to be Australia’s leading mortgage broker and we are the only specialist mortgage broker listed on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX symbol: MOC).
Our loan book is now worth in excess of $31.6 billion (as at 31 December 2007). Since listing on the Australian Stock Exchange the company's financial performance has been very strong. Through our national network of over 445 franchises and over 668 loan consultants (as at 31 December 2007), Mortgage Choice writes almost 1 in every 20 Australian residential property loans.
That’s why it’s important to us to be active in the community – on a local, national and global level. We support a number of important organisations and initiatives including the World Solar Challenge and Barnardos Australia.
