Mortgage Broker

Angelina is a born and bred Geraldtonian and just loves the lifestyle here. She commenced life as a mortgage broker back in 1998 and has built a reputation that’s the envy of most in the business. She is renowned for her friendly and bubbly demeanour with a caring attitude towards her clients ensuring they get the right loan and advice on what’s best for them.

Angelina’s knowledge and experience in lending have helped hundreds of people over the years achieve their home ownership dreams, as well as many others who have successfully invested in real estate and benefited from her guidance.

Nothing is too much trouble for Angelina and she is always available to help people with all their finance needs. First home buyers, selling and buying again or buying an investment property, you can rely on Angelina to always look after your best interests.

Originally working in a small business and as Financial Controller for multiple businesses, becoming a Finance Broker was a natural progression for Tash and allowed her to move into a role where she works directly with customers.

Tash was the original Mortgage Choice Geraldton franchisee and has now proudly joined with Ange and Dean and their Smartline business has joined the Mortgage Choice family.

Tash has a lot of experience in the lending market and offers her customers a very comprehensive guide to the lending process.
Her favourite part of providing this service is giving her clients the reassurance that they now have someone to assist them with the right financial decisions, now and in the future.

Mortgage Broker

Grant joined us after returning from the UK and Canada, where he lived for 15 years, working in banking and finance. Grant’s parents and siblings all call Geraldton home and after a visit on his return to Australia he was hooked with the lifestyle.

“Being a beach lover, I’ve got the dream lifestyle living here, something I really missed when living in some of the big cities overseas” says Grant.

“Working in the banking and finance industry, I have developed a keen interest in property. So, after making the decision to stay in Geraldton, I hopped into the real estate market and bought a home here. I was referred by family to Angelina Calver to help with my finance and I was so impressed by her and the whole team I couldn’t resist the opportunity to work here”

Grant is passionate about home ownership and investment and understands what it’s like being a homebuyer seeking finance.

“It can be a daunting process but getting the right advice makes a world of difference. I love working with people and helping them on this journey, whether it’s buying your own home or an investment property, it’s a great feeling” says Grant.

Holly is our friendly, helpful, and extremely experienced Client Liaison Officer & Broker Assistant. She has been working in the lending and finance industry for over seven years so is fully across the sometimes confusing and nerve-wracking journey borrowers can find themselves on.

While Dean and Angelina are working closely with their clients and making things happen, Holly is our eyes and ears at the office. She keeps our loan submissions on track and pushes the lenders along to help meet our deadlines. And when things need to be escalated Holly is on top of it, ensuring we deliver the best possible customer service experience to all our clients.

A wonderful ‘people-person', with an in-depth knowledge of the industry, Holly is also in constant communication with real estate agents, settlement agents, and our lenders. She will make sure the many stakeholders involved in a property purchase are on the same page and will deliver what’s required on time.

Holly loves being part of our journey in helping our clients get ahead financially – whether that’s buying or building a home, financing a business, purchasing a car, renovating a home, investing in property, or any other major life goals. “We are all working towards the same objective,” says Holly. “And that is, helping our clients get a great loan and a seamless lending experience.

All of us here go to great lengths to make things happen for our clients, so they can achieve their goals and dreams.”

Crystal is our calm, friendly receptionist who is always there, at our front desk, ready to greet you with a smile. She also assists Holly by entering data and following up paperwork and documents with the lenders until settlement, so that her and Angelina can throw all their energy into making it happen.

Crystal has been through the home loan process herself when building her first home, so understands from a client’s perspective the range of emotions borrowers can experience.

“It can be scary, but with the right people guiding you it can be pleasurable too”

“I pride myself on having the knowledge to provide accurate and prompt assistance. It’s important to me to always get involved and be interactive. I love the challenging nature of the industry and how fast-paced it is. I enjoy problem-solving and analysing data, but also realise that finance is not just about the numbers, it is about the people too” says Crystal.

Crystal is loving working with our team who are dedicated to providing an outstanding mortgage service for our clients. We aim to be the best in the business and that challenge is exciting for Crystal and the rest of our team.

When Crystal is not hard at work in the office you will find her at the beach, in the garden, by the fire in her backyard, and on a cold rainy day you will find her painting or nestled up with a good book and a cuppa. Often spending Saturdays at the footy, watching her partner Gage play with his Northampton Football team. Crystal normally has a part time or casual training of some sort on the go, loving the abundance that personal growth brings to all areas of life.

Loan Administrator 

While Angelina & Tash work their magic in finding and negotiating great loan solutions for our clients, Vikki makes it all become a reality by providing essential admin support. Organised, efficient and with a great eye for detail, Vikki helps the brokers with preparing all the paperwork and documentation, and submitting clients’ applications to the lender. She’s also there for our clients, working hard to get their finances secured quickly and with a minimum of fuss. ‘I’m always willing to lend a hand and answer any questions clients may have and provide quick and efficient turnaround times,’ she says.

As well as offering great customer service, Vikki has many years of industry experience and brings our clients a great understanding of the ins and outs of the borrowing process.

Sharon is our most recent addition to the admin team and comes to us after a 12 year career in Geraldton real estate as a sales rep. There were though a few years gap between real estate and joining us, Sharon and her husband lived on a houseboat in the UK, traversing the waterways and exploring the villages along the way. Sounds fabulous.

“My focus as an Administration Assistant is to ensure that our clients receive the very best support in the home loan process, helping to guide them through the paper-work jungle from application to settlement.

Regardless of what our clients’ circumstances are, it is a great feeling knowing I’m able to help in some way towards their home ownership dreams” says Sharon

When not working Sharon enjoys spending time with her family and showing and breeding British Shorthair Cats, no doubt something she picked up from her time in the UK.

“ I am looking forward to expanding my experience and knowledge with the awesome team here at Mortgage Choice Geraldton” says Sharon
