George Tofa #03 The Everyday People Podcast with Okta
-
- Self-Improvement
Purchasing your first home is not an easy goal to achieve, especially when you have no idea about who to speak to, or where to begin like I did when I decided to finally make that move. Cue George Tofa aka ‘George the Broker’, a broker from West Melbourne.
Growing up as a man with Samoan and Chinese heritage, there always comes a big family behind the story. A while before the podcast, I asked George what his favourite quote was and he responded, "I'm not winning unless my family is". Knowing him personally, his true values and genuine interest in helping his clients better their own situation made my choice in finding a broker an easier one.
On this episode of The Everyday People Podcast, we talk about how he got his business from the bottom, compared to where it is today, what it felt like being a Pacific Islander in a heavily influenced Caucasian industry and the sacrifices that had to be made. We go through what a broker is and how one can help you compared to the big banks on your own.
This is a very insightful episode on the "do's and don'ts", along with other tips to help you when trying to secure a loan for your first or next home loan.
Thanks for listening! @georgethebroker
