Karlene Taylor- Mortgage Adviser

Feeling incredibly grateful (and a little bit blown away) to be named a finalist for both Outstanding Mortgage Advisor – Regional and Rising Star.

I was already so pleased just to be nominated, so to now be a finalist in both categories is honestly pretty surreal.

This recognition definitely isn’t a solo effort. It reflects the support, trust, and encouragement from an amazing team around me, and the incredible clients I get to work with every day. Thank you for letting me be part of your journeys—it truly means the world.

I’m really proud to be doing what I love, and even more thankful for the people who make it all possible. 💛

Feeling incredibly grateful right now 🙏

A huge thank you for the recent award nominations — it honestly means so much to be recognised, especially doing something I genuinely love.

But more than anything, this is a reflection of the amazing team around me. I’m so lucky to work alongside such supportive, driven, and all-round awesome people who make what we do possible every day.

Couldn’t do it without you all 💛
