Professional profile

I started my mortgage career back in 2004 for one of the world’s biggest banks. Whilst working in the background, setting up customers mortgages within the bank, I spent my days gaining valuable experience liaising with valuers, surveyors, solicitors & the banks customers. I also spent time as an underwriter, making the decision as to whether the bank could lend or not. In 2007, I moved to another part of the bank & I started working alongside brokers up and down the country to help them place their cases with the bank and achieved the role of Business Development Manager.

 

After the big bank crisis of 2010, I opted for voluntary redundancy and started my mortgage advice career for a large National Estate Agency. I spent a few years here gaining promotions along the way and learned many new skills across the house buying process, including practices & expectations of estate agents. After this, I then moved to a small family-owned brokerage where I became an independent, whole of market adviser.

 

With this variety of experience, I have a strong background and history in all aspects of the house purchasing and mortgage process and have brought this experience and insight with me to help my first-time buyer clients move forward in buying their first, dream home. The experience of working in many different areas of the process, from the bank to the estate agents to the independent adviser, has given me an invaluable advantage to help all my clients achieve their goals.

 

I love being able to make peoples dreams become reality. Buying a home is the biggest (& possibly sometimes the scariest!) purchase of your life. I hope to be there to reduce the stress & hold your hand through the whole process. 🏡

Now get to know Andrea a little deeper....

Married to my soul mate & best friend, we have a crazy little diva who rules our world & 2 cats who use our home purely as a hotel, but I wouldn’t have it any other way 😂

 

My biggest passion is travelling & I’ve been fortunate enough to visit some of the most beautiful places in the world. Places like New York, Mexico, The Maldives, Santorini, Paris, Italy & The Caribbean. Ultimately when I can combine 2 of my favorite hobbies, travelling & Disney, we come to my love of Orlando I’m also a massive sun worshipper so the crazy heat of Egypt is always near the top of my list too.

 

My husband is a big football fan so plans have to be made around this 🙄, I also support his biggest rival team (which doesn’t get me any brownie points!) I won’t name teams here though! 😂

 

The end goal in my working life….work hard enough that I can achieve a dream of owning my own holiday home abroad in the sun!

Dream job as a kid: I wanted to be a nurse. Then I realised I hated blood & needles made me pass out so I wouldn’t be much help there 🙄🤪. Later on I decided I wanted to be an Air Hostess, I even had a job! But girl meets boy and that chapter was history.

Favourite meal: Hmmm…not sure…I do love food though. My new fav is a trip to Miller & Carter 😍 

Favourite TV show: Please don’t judge me ….EASTENDERS!! It’s the one program I cannot survive without. Otherwise, I love a good box set…. Gavin & Stacey, Suits, Peaky Blinders….

Favourite tipple: Depends on my mood but I do love a Jack Daniels or Jamesons 🥃. A bottle of fizz for good news is a must!

Tea or coffee: Strong builders tea and gallons of it at home! Starbucks for a treat.

Love: Hot, lazy holidays! Travelling, Disney & shoes

Hate: Liver & Onions 🤮- i can still smell it now if i close my eyes 🤮, Rude & bad drivers, Queue jumpers 😬😡

Typical morning: Starts around 7am….(*edit - thought i best add that my husband delivers me a cup of tea at this point as Charlie popped it in her 'Typical morning' & i would then be in the bad books with the hubby! 🤣)....anyway, i get myself & my little girl up, get her dressed, hair done, teeth brushed, breakfast, school stuff together & out the door for 8.20am. The husband is somewhere around at this time but he sorts himself thankfully! I then get back from the school run, get a fresh cuppa & tidy the kitchen to resemble something normal. Then its off to my home office for a day of mortgages.

10 years’ time: Probably doing what I’m doing now just hopefully with a few ‘bucket list’ goals ticked off.

Interesting fact: Probably not that interesting but I bought my first house on my own at 18. Me & my husband then moved house 4 times in 4 years - I'm fairly experienced at both sides of the desk!

Claim to fame: Showing my age here but for anyone who loved the Y2k garage music scene, I’m in the music video of ‘Aint No Stopping Us’ by DJ Luck & MC Neat when they recorded it in Es Paradis in Ibiza.

 

Met any famous people? Got in a hotel lift with Lenny Henry & Slash from Guns & Roses. Spoke to Sir Richard Branson on the phone when I worked at the bank. Gave a rose to Princess Diana. Got David Beckham to sign my programme.​​
