More About Nicole

What inspired you to become a broker/analyst/manager/officer, and how did you get started in the industry?

I got started in April 2009 at NAB. The role I was hired for in the call center was to identify customers and transfer them to the next team. I moved up quickly and ended up in Homeside (third-party broker loans), thanks to our HR manager, who submitted my application for me (I initially had no interest in third-party lending). I started there in August 2009, so I’ve officially spent the last 15 years dealing with brokers or broker-introduced loans.

If you could describe your work style in three words, what would they be?

Friendly, customer advocate, and chaotic.

Can you share a fun fact about yourself that most people don’t know?

I didn’t speak English until I went to school.

If you could share a meal with anyone from any era, who would you choose and why?

I would share a meal with my grandparents when they were my age. I think it would be fascinating to see what life was like for them back then and how their values shaped who I am today.

Can you share a story where you helped a client (it doesn’t matter how small or big) that makes you smile?

All of them. Just helping someone achieve what they want to achieve, whether it’s buying their first home or building their property portfolio, always puts a smile on my face.

What’s one piece of advice you always give to first-time homebuyers or to investors?

Always call your solicitor or conveyancer to confirm their trust account details. You’re transferring a lot of money to them, so don’t feel silly double-checking to make sure the account details are correct.

What’s your favourite way to unwind after work or during the weekend?

As an introvert, I like to spend my weekend “offline.”
