Word On The Street, the specialist property finance brokerage, has appointed Ben Hartley (pictured) as specialist mortgage broker.
As part of its new growth strategy, the brokerage is set to open its doors to property finance introducers who would like to grow, develop, and increase revenue potential within unregulated lending.
Hartley first met Michael Street, founder of Word On The Street while working at real estate lender Together, where Hartley held a direct sales role across buy-to-let, bridging, commercial and development finance.
He has also worked at Lowry Capital and Stretton Capital.
Hartley said: “I have honed a skillset that focuses on the expert assessment of cases at the outset, including exit viability, and use that to save clients time and money, as well as manage expectations.
“Michael and the team have empowered me to make this career move, safe in the knowledge that I have the absolute best support and foundation.
“Word On The Street’s emphasis on longevity in lending is one that aligns with my own, and I am excited about the future of the business and my role in it.”
Street added: “Growing Word On The Street has always been the intention, and we have wider plans to create a ‘Community’ where brokers, lenders, and customers can connect, share knowledge, and access opportunities that drive better outcomes for everyone involved.
“Bringing Ben into the team will enable us to explore this mutual value-add and continue our non-standard approach to growth and success.
“I’ve known Ben for a few years, and I am confident that he is an important part of our bid to revolutionise the role of the broker, thereby improving borrower outcomes generally.”
