I love everything about my job really; being self employed and working from home means I can be really flexible with working hours, and always try and be contactable to my clients; there's nothing worse than calling someone at 5.59pm on a Friday and finding they've gone home, and aren't back in the office again until Monday morning! I also get a real sense of pride and achievement in helping my clients get, not just the best advice and mortgage deals, but also the most suitable package for them and their circumstances, from first time buyers who need may need more explanation of how the market works, to clients with adverse credit who don't think getting their dream home is achievable. The other great aspect of being self employed is that I am in complete control of my business, so I make it a priority to never be so busy that I can't move very quickly for a client, very important in the property market right now. I have a family with young children too, so I know how important it is to feel that you are getting the very best option available for your budget, and I make sure I thoroughly source the whole of the market, not just for mortgages but for protection too.
