Word of mouth wins out
Let’s be honest we live in a world both dominated and liberated by social media. I absolutely get it and have nothing but open-mouthed respect for the many dedicated and well-practiced social media garners out there BUT the past few years has taught me a valuable lesson. Never underestimate the power and sincerity of proper real life conversations and recommendations.
When I started ‘My Finance Friend’ I felt equal measures of bamboozlement and pure dread that my future success lay in the hands of my social media creativity, tech know-how and online prowess. I had 100% faith in my experience, knowledge and skills but sadly I’d lost faith in people’s ability to trust anything other than those who didn’t constantly spew a flurry of posts, instas, tweets, blogs all singing about their wares with the accompanying flashing jazz hands of tech wizardry. With hindsight I can confirm (thankfully) that my sleepless nights, cold sweats of shame of my lesser abilities to plug myself relentlessly on social media have not been my downfall. Don’t get me wrong I’ve dabbled and tried with some posts here and there with varying degrees of success.
More important to me is the fact that this week I have reached a whopping 146 heartfelt customer reviews, making me one of the most recommended mortgage brokers in the UK. This is not likes, shares or comments on a witty advert or post but customers who’ve felt genuinely compelled to tell their friends and family about how it’s felt to work with me to buy their first home, move house, re-mortgage or protect their loved ones with life and critical illness.
This is what gives me a buzz, and whilst I can’t deny the validation of lots of likes and comments it is great, hearing about the difference I’ve made is just more ‘my thing’. You may call me a dinosaur and I am NOT saying that social media doesn’t matter – quite the opposite as you’re probably reading this on a social channel right now. I’m just thankful that having a popular online account has not completely replaced thoughtful word of mouth. Likes and comments are important and a sign of times but without doubt quite different to proper old fashioned word-of-mouth recommendations. For that I’m grateful and I hope it continues to grow my business.

Finances on your mind? – Why use a Mortgage Broker in 2019?
With Brexit on the horizon there is much speculation as to what is going to happen with the interest rates short and medium term so what better time could there be to review your existing mortgage arrangements?
If you’ have been giving some thought to moving house, remortgaging or simply finding a better mortgage deal, why not talk with a Mortgage Broker? Using a Mortgage Broker at My Finance Friend has many advantages:
- Financial Advisers quite often are able to access mortgages that you would not find when searching independently. My Finance Friend has regular contact with a wide variety of lenders, some of whom you may not even know about
- Using a Broker can save you time and effort having to ring round or trawl the internet
- My Finance Friend can discuss your options with you, suggesting mortgages that reflect your needs and requirements
- The fees are clear. When we sit down with you, we’ll explain all the fees involved such as arrangement fees, booking fees, and valuation fees with each lender and how they will affect you
- Use our extensive knowledge. We know the mortgage market inside out, what’s involved in the process and all the legal jargon that comes along with applying for a mortgage. We’re here to help and take the hard work out of getting you your new mortgage
- We appreciate that every client is different and so has different needs and wants. We take individual circumstances into account and ensure they find the right mortgage for you. One size does not fit all and it is vital to have thorough conversations in the run up to finding and applying for a mortgage
- Adverse credit – don’t be disheartened as there are many lenders that may be able to offer you a mortgage.
So if you’re looking for your next mortgage deal, why not give My Finance Friend a call and arrange a no-obligation meeting to discuss your options and requirements?
