With brokers becoming the channel of choice for residential home loans, it’s more important than ever that we support the younger generation of brokers coming through – the Young Professionals – aged 35 years and under, and representing approximately 18% of the MFAA’s membership.

Results from previous Young Professionals reports were also considered to determine if any attitudes or views had changed over time between the two age cohorts.
