Self-Employed Mortgage & Protection Adviser
Astute Mortgages Ltd
Location: Remote / Hybrid
Office available in: Waterlooville (Portsmouth area)
Commission: 85% split possibility
No monthly fees for the first 3 months
Astute Mortgages is a directly authorised mortgage brokerage based in Waterlooville, Hampshire. We’re a small, growing firm looking to bring on a self-employed mortgage and protection adviser who wants the flexibility of working for themselves but still having support behind them.
We’re not a large corporate brokerage, and we’re not trying to build a call-centre environment. The aim is to keep a small team of good advisers who want to build their own client base while being part of a supportive and relaxed working environment.
If you're looking for high commission, flexibility, and a firm that values long-term relationships with both advisers and clients, this could be a good fit.
