Leah Beetson - Broker support
We would like to introduce our newest broker, Leah, to our team who joined us in early 2017.
Whilst Leah is new to the business, she is not new to lending! Her last two years were spent working for major bank ANZ in the local Bowral branch.
"The thing I wanted to do differently by working as a broker, is have access to more options for my clients, and also have sufficient time to provide a great service experience to the client. I wanted to focus solely on lending and I have been able to really do that here at Wilson Financial. Our clients are so happy with us and it's great to be a part of that."
Leah enjoys helping our clients with purchases, particularly first home buyers, and loves a good haggle with the banks to help refinance you to a better rate! Leah has a fun loving and compassionate nature. In her spare time you'll find Leah laying on the beach, working out at the gym or out in nature bush walking.
Favourite food: Burrito's
Favourite drink: A fine red wine
Favourite movie: Bad Boys II
Favourite place to visit: Hawaii
To contact Leah please email leah@wilsonfinancial.com.au
