The seed was planted to create MyMF back in 2011 when Anthony was working for a financial planning and accounting firm. They were referring their clients to external mortgage brokers, and being left unimpressed time and time again. Anthony quickly noticed that home loan applicants were being grossly underserviced, and their experience was disjointed, stressful, and they were often left in a panic about the entire process. The Industry had not adopted new technology, it was not evolving and customers were being forced to accept mediocrity because there was no alternative.
So MyMF embarked on its mission to reengineer the entire home loan process from start to finish. They obsessed about service, contact, friendship, communication, and being a step ahead of the game to ensure they were able to provide the most superior service available. In 2011-2014 they were providing online solutions before the online craze came. But being solely online wasn’t what they were about… MyMF is a people business and their relationships with their clients is what sets them apart. So in 2014 when the online space became crowded with banks and brokers paying $$ for leads, MyMF changed tact and focused all their energy on connecting with their tribe and being part of their property journey not just today, but for life.
Starting the business was not as easy as opening the doors and the clients came. For this business to be “successful” it had a clear and defined vision as to what they will do to serve their clients. And for this reason, MyMF don’t measure their success on their own growth, but the growth of their clients and how much impact they make on the lives of Australian property enthusiasts.
MyMF has evolved to become one of the leading mortgage providers in Australia not by luck, but by hard work and continuous improvement in both their process, their people, their technology, and their ability to serve their tribe.
