Testimonials from some of our Advisers

Just Mortgages Self Employed gives you access to 58 lenders, including all the main high street names, 7 insurance companies, a Business Manager, a Compliance Officer and with the support of Openwork provides you with all of the tools to become a professional mortgage and protection adviser giving a first class service to your clients. You never feel alone as the team ethic is a major part of the company ethos and there is no limit what you can achieve personally or income wise if you maximise all of these elements.

When I first started with Just Mortgages and on top of that, as self-employed, it was naturally a very daunting experience and being a cautious person did not help. However, I still made this choice and am pleased to say I will not look back even without the safety of a guaranteed basic income. Why? It’s simple, with the number of hours and cases I submit, even if I were to do less than half as an employed broker I would still make roughly the same amount. You work, you get paid except the difference is the profit you make is approximately double per case and why would you not work?

However, what makes this possible is the unbelievable support I get from my Business Manager and the team. We are talking about connecting to like-minded, hard-working individuals who value each other and are genuine. The opportunities are also endless, what more could you ask for?

Having worked with Just Mortgages on an employed basis for several years but wanting the flexibility and freedom to manage my business how I felt it best to without targets and management, when just mortgages opened the self-employed arm of the business I jumped at the opportunity to take what I felt was the next step. I haven’t looked back! I have the flexibility to run my business and hours how I need to for my family and the support behind the scenes to gather more knowledge through regularly organised training events, whether it be for refreshing product knowledge or like recently adding a string to the bow with learning the skills to approach businesses for their protection to make sure they can continue if something happened to one of its key figures. A great place to start your self employed life and continue learning and growing. Adam Rockall

Sonia Gill

My journey started here back in September 2016. It was a scary place in the beginning, as I went from knowing what I’d be paid at the end of the month to the unknown. Looking back now, I can say I have made the right decision. I work when I want to, meet who I want to, and the rewards are excellent.

Shahed Zaman

Being a self-employed advisor with Just Mortgages has given me the best of all worlds! I am able to earn a substantial income from working on days and at times that fit around my family. It allows me to plan my diary around my home commitments whilst knowing that I have full support of my sales manager. There is no one looking over your shoulder monitoring your business levels but I also have an approachable team that I can call on for help and advice whenever I need it. Come and join the team, you won’t regret it!

Next steps

Your local Business Manager is keen to talk to you to answer any questions you have and to arrange an initial face to face introductory meeting. Our commission structure is bespoke to your business and potential business levels, the more business you generate the higher the level of remuneration.

I have been in the Financial Services industry for the past 19 years both as a Mortgage and Protection Adviser and Area Sales Manager. Knowing that the ultimate aim for most Advisers is to become Self Employed it was an easy decision for me to make to move into the Self Employed Division of Just Mortgages to help Advisers achieve their ambitions.

My role within the Just Mortgages Self Employed division is to provide complete end to end support to Mortgage Brokers, that either want to take the first steps to being Self Employed, or for existing Self Employed brokers that want to develop and grow their business.

We are paying some of the highest levels of commission in the industry with no monthly charges and are dedicated to making your business a success.

Whether you need help in setting up, making a business plan, need more leads, need to improve your protection sales, or just want to improve your income, my passion is to be there to support and help develop you and your business.
