pdf Dec07-MFAA Cover Story.pdf
Six years ago, shortly after taking a redundancy from banking giant Citibank, Melinda Young turned up to her first function in a new guise as a mortgage broker. “They had a door prize that I won and it was a laptop. I am just a lucky person,” she says. “It was amazing because three months later I started up and I had the laptop ready to go. It was meant to be. All the signs were there.” Since that stroke of luck, Young and her husband Rob Seton have created a thriving boutique mortgage and finance broking firm, Mortgage Simplicity, in Melbourne. Young concentrated on sales while her partner handled the administration duties and business strategies.
