Learn about our Mortgage Broker, Joel Townsend
Career history and qualifications:
I have over a decade of experience in the financial services industry including both as a Financial Planner and in recent years a Mortgage Broker. I have a bachelor’s degree in Property Economics and Development, a Graduate Diploma in Financial Planning and a Certificate 4 in Mortgage Broking and Finance.
On the weekends you’ll find me:
Spending time with my partner Hannah, at the gym or lazing on the couch with a good tv series or book.
Favourite inspirational quote:
“The older you get the more you realise that everyone is just winging it.”
Favourite Book:
I’m a bit weird in that I like finance and education books like The Richest Man in Babylon.
If I had a superpower:
I would want the ability to teleport so that I can travel anywhere in the world instantaneously (or to the couch if stuck at a party, I don’t want to be at).
If I was a character from a movie:
Maybe Ron Weasley from Harry Potter.
What I love about working at Zion Financial:
How down-to-earth Beau and Shakira are, the can do attitude of our team and the fact that we get to help people realise their dreams of home ownership and building wealth for their future.
