In episode #120 of the Growth Series podcast, host Nicola Alvarez, Senior Manager Mortgage Distribution Proposition Development at Accord Mortgages dives into the transformative potential of the green mortgage market.
Joined by two distinguished guests, Chloe Timperley, Green Mortgages Lead at the Green Finance Institute, and Matt Coulson, Director & Principal at Heron Financial, this insightful discussion unravels the intricacies of the green mortgage market and explores how new certifications are empowering brokers to confidently navigate this burgeoning sector.
Chloe Timperley shares how the Green Finance Institute's certification initiative is not only bridging the knowledge gap between brokers, but setting a new industry standard. By doing so, it is transforming scepticism into enthusiasm and paving the way for sustainable housing solutions.
Matt Coulson highlights the benefits of obtaining a green mortgage certification. By becoming certified, brokers can attract new clients, align with global sustainability goals and enhance their reputation in a fragmented market. Aside from expanding broker knowledge, these certifications also enrich broker confidence and position them as trailblazers in the industry.
The episode further shares the significant impact of the B Corp certification on businesses like Heron Financial. Chloe and Matt discuss the rigorous accountability measures involved and the unique opportunities B Corp certification presents for mortgage brokers committed to their environmental goals, tackling misconceptions about green mortgages and emphasising their broad appeal beyond eco-conscious individuals.
As the future of green mortgages shines bright, this episode equips you with the knowledge to seize opportunities and stand out in the industry.
