LMG

Less than one hour to go - don't miss out!

Every day, brokers witness real challenges in their local communities—homelessness, domestic violence, mental health challenges—and they don’t just watch from the sidelines. They step up. At LMG, we believe in the power of community. That’s why we’re launching the Share Tomorrow Foundation, to unite our collective impact and support grassroots solutions that empower people to rebuild their lives with dignity and hope. In Australia, we’re partnering with Friends with Dignity Ltd and batyr to make a real difference. And we’re bringing this initiative to New Zealand soon too. Stay tuned!

Since taking the leap from banker to broker, Amanda Young has been rapidly growing her business. In the latest episode, Sam and Amanda dive into how she’s built a powerhouse team of Customer Support Managers (CSMs), fondly known as her "fairies," who keep the business running smoothly behind the scenes, and how she's set to write $70M in loans this year. Her top three tips: 1️⃣ Hire for weaknesses, not strengths. 2️⃣ Let the team lead. 3️⃣ Hold back on new tech (strategically.) Want her full playbook?

After a highly successful career as a banker for over 18 years, Joe joins us with enthusiasm to start his own brokerage and offer his clients a broader range of solutions towards homeownership. With extensive experience across all types of lending, Joe took the leap into broking to guide more people through the complexities of finance to help them secure loan options that better fit their needs. When asked what fueled his decision to join LMG, he said, “LMG's comprehensive support stood out to me—providing the tech, tools and guidance I need to grow my business and build meaningful relationships that make a positive impact on people’s lives.” When he’s not writing loans, Joe loves socialising with friends and travelling.

Congratulations to Entourage for reaching Chairman's Club status for FY25. This achievement places them among the top 1% of businesses in the LMG network and some of the best brokerages in the country. “From day one of Entourage, all I wanted to do was build a brand. I wasn’t interested in being known as the top dog, or promoting how we should work from 8:00 till 3:00 AM in the morning. My whole goal has always been how not to be that top dog. The mission for me has always been to give back to my team. And it means we’ve invested in our people and worked hard to make Entourage a place of belonging.” – Damien Roylance, Director of Entourage Congratulations Entourage! #betterbeginshere
