Pivotal Financial (PF), the finance arm of RE/MAX Australia, announced its annual awards relating to the achievements of PF mortgage brokers as well as RE/MAX members working with PF at the real estate network’s gala event held on 22nd February at Sofitel Brisbane.
Finance specialist Tim Denton wins year-on-year when it comes to writing loans business. Once again, he was announced Finance Broker of the Year and Top Performer (RE/MAX Settlements).
The Rising Star award went to Perth-based Pinky Vekaria for her exceptional achievement, dedication and innovation through 2023; and Lachlan MacDonald, the 2021 Rising Star who went on to win Top Market Share for his 2022 performance has claimed it again for 2023 results.
Mortgage broker Laura Sillano won the inaugural PF Application Excellence award, which PF director and general manager, Matthew Andrews, explained was introduced in acknowledgment of someone who consistently provides high quality loan applications to lenders.
“The commitment they put into preparing loan application can make a real difference,” he said. “The extra effort they go to results in a more streamlined assessment journey for the client and ultimately, faster approval time frames.”
Pivotal Financial (PF) works closely with the RE/MAX network of agents around Australia in providing a full range of financial services.
“RE/MAX and PF forged ahead through 2023 with determination and resilience despite the shock of substantial interest rate rises, staggering inflation and markets that saw dramatic supply issues,” said Mr Andrews. “Our unwavering commitment propelled us forward, culminating in a year of incredible strength and team performance.”
RE/MAX Bayside-Results was the Top Performing RE/MAX business, Australia-wide, for loans business in 2023. Mackay sales associate Leanne Druery was the Top Performing RE/MAX agent in finance, and RE/MAX Platinum in Narangba took the Top Market Share award as it had since 2020.
“The PF team has been in full swing since the start of this year handling new finance and lending enquiries, amidst plenty of competitive deals from lenders and banks to win new customers and potentially save money,” Mr Andrews said.
“Interest rates and what they’ll do is a topic that seems to generate the most speculation and discussion, because any rise directly impacts repayments, which directly hits the hip pocket.
“Rather than nervously speculating, consult with professionals whether you already have a mortgage or are considering one. That’s where we come in.”
