In 2011, Anthony was working for his dad’s financial planning and accounting firm.
Referring clients to external brokers and noticing how common it was for them to have a poor experience, Anthony decided he’d become a broker and do it differently.
He obsessed over service, friendship, and communication and embarked on a mission to reengineer the entire loan process from start to finish. Adopting new technology and providing online solutions to his clients, MyMF was founded to provide the most superior service available.
But being solely online wasn’t what we were about.
In 2014, when the online space became crowded with banks and brokers paying for leads, we changed tactics and focused our energy on connecting with our clients and being part of their journey. Not just today, but for life.
Our relationships are what set us apart and our definition of success is the value we bring to our clients lives.
We’ve come a long way since we started and today, we’re one of the leading mortgage brokers in Australia.
We didn’t get here by luck, but by hard work and continuous improvement in both our process, people, technology, and ability to serve our tribe.
We’re proud of the work we’ve done so far, and excited for what’s to come!
