Young Gun Takes Over Waikato
Franchise
Jacob Annals is the new franchise owner of
the Mike Pero Mortgages Hamilton Office. The 25 year-old has
worked as a broker in the Hamilton office for just over a
year before taking over the franchise at the beginning of
July.
Jacob says even though he’s young, he
doesn’t see his age as a barrier in the world of
finance.
“I’m very excited about the future and
the challenge ahead. I love what I do, so when the
opportunity came up to take over the franchise I jumped at
the opportunity. Mike Pero Mortgages is such a great brand
and there is plenty of potential out there in the
marketplace. For me right now, there’s only one way to
go and that’s upwards.”
Jacob grew up on a
dairy farm in the area. His first job was in the
motorcycle industry, working for a wholesale parts and
accessories company. From there, he moved into the role of
Parts Manager for a local Honda dealership, before moving
back to the previous company to manage a number of product
lines.
“My career to date has focused on sales
and customer services – both essential services required
to be a good mortgage broker. I had also dabbled in
property investment on the side, buying my first property at
the age of 21.”
Jacob says it was a natural progression
for him to become a mortgage broker. “It made sense for
me to bring it all together.”
Jacob says he has a
plenty of good ideas for the business but right now he’s
concentrating on promoting the new products being offered by
Mike Pero Mortgages.
“I truly believe the new
Mike Pero Mortgages products are a great thing for the
market at the moment. Personal loans, KiwiSaver and
insurance are all new relevant services available to
clients. We can now offer our clients the best total
package of products and services from the country’s
largest and most trusted mortgage broking company.
That’s all pretty exciting as far as I’m
concerned.”
