Aussie wins national industry award for its new mortgage broking operation
Aussie's move to revolutionise the way Australians buy their own homes and investment properties with the launch of its national mortgage broking operation in 2002 has resulted in the company winning the Mortgage Industry Association of Australia's (MIAA) National Originators Award for 2004.
The award recognised Aussie's evolution of its business model to combine its operation as a mortgage manager, as well as a national mortgage originator (broker), with other finalists being Mortgage Choice and Choice Home Loans.
The MIAA paid special attention to Aussie's recently launched Aussie Academy, an international training and professional development program assisting mortgage advisers to build their own profitable businesses.
The company now employs 600 mortgage advisers across Australia, providing home and apartment buyers a choice of more than 900 home loan products and expert advice about the best way to structure their mortgages.
Since opening its doors in 1992, Aussie has now provided more than 200,000 people with more than $15 billion worth of home loans in both capital cities and country areas.
Each of Aussie's professional mortgage advisers is accredited with the Mortgage Industry Association of Australasia (MIAA) and work within a strict code of conduct.
Founder and Managing director of Aussie, Mr John Symond, said "We are delighted that our national industry body has recognised the significant investment of time and resources we have made in expanding our operations, while leading the home loan industry in creating an exciting and rewarding training program for new and existing mortgage advisers.
"The only way the industry will continue to lift its standards is through intensive training of its mortgage professionals and we are proud of the progress we have made through Aussie Academy", concluded Mr Symond.
