The aggregator has announced its inaugural top 100 female brokers ranking for its female brokers operating in Australia.
Aggregator Loan Market Group (LMG) has unveiled its top 100 female brokers across Australia.
The inaugural Leading Ladies list of high volume female brokers has been released as the world celebrates International Women’s Day.
LMG awarded the number one ranking to Sarah Thomson, Loan Market Geelong City managing director, after she settled 387 deals in the last 12 months.
Thomson is an award-winning broker and manages a team of 20 staff – of which 95 per cent are women. LMG stated that Thomson generated more than 700 My Google Business reviews following her customer service movement.
Ranked second was Sue Vuong, a mortgage broker from Loan Market Perth and director of Loan Market Golden Finance. In third place was Mel Wright, the director and principal mortgage broker at Zest Mortgage Solutions in Queensland.
LMG revealed that the median number of annual settlements of the top 100 female brokers was 110, while the top 50 had a median of 142 settlements.
The median value of annual settlements was $70.8 million for the top 50, compared to $55.9 million for the top 100 overall.
Looking at the geographical spread of the top 100 female brokers, Victorian/Tasmanian brokers made up 36 per cent of the rankings. NSW-based brokers followed behind with 22 per cent, while Queensland made 18 per cent of brokers in the top 100.
Western Australian brokers made up 13 per cent of the list, followed by South Australian and Northern Territory brokers making a combined 10 per cent.
LMG’s national director of growth and leading ladies president Suzi Trajanovski stated: “These women are managing huge numbers of clients who benefit from a customer service offering that is simply unmatched…
“They’re benefiting from LMG’s culture of growing collectively, whether it’s through our Leading Ladies community or other local support groups and growth services.”
The rankings were revealed as CoreLogic released its Women and Property Report, showing that young women are less likely to own a home (27.3 per cent) compared to their male counterparts (51.6 per cent).
Most women attributed their inability to buy a home to the upfront costs associated with buying a home.
LMG stated that it has donated to charities such as Dressed for Success, St Kilda Mums, and The Zahra Foundation to support women in need of financial assistance.
