Masters Broker Group has long held the view that strong mortgage broking businesses are built through education, structure, and responsibility, not shortcuts or volume alone. That philosophy was recently reflected with Andrew Tan being named a Finalist for Mentor of the Year (VIC/TAS) at the 2026 Better Business Awards.
While industry recognition is appreciated, the real significance of the nomination lies beyond the award itself. It highlights the broader impact that high quality mentoring can have across the mortgage industry, particularly for the clients brokers serve every day.
Better brokers lead to better client outcomes
At the core of Masters Broker Group’s mentoring approach is a simple belief. When brokers are better trained, better supported, and clearer in their thinking, their clients benefit.
For many Australians, buying a home is one of the most important financial decisions they will ever make. Mortgage brokers play a critical role in guiding clients through that process with clarity, confidence, and care. Structured mentoring helps brokers deepen their technical knowledge, improve their decision making, and build businesses that operate calmly under pressure. The outcome is not just stronger broker practices, but better experiences for everyday Australians pursuing home ownership.
The Master Class mentoring program
The Master Class mentoring program at Masters Broker Group has been designed to support brokers at every stage of their career. It combines technical mentoring, business mentoring, and practical frameworks that help brokers move beyond survival mode and into sustainable, professional practice.
Rather than focusing on short term tactics, The Master Class is built around long term capability. Brokers are supported to understand lending policy deeply, communicate clearly with clients, implement repeatable systems, and meet their professional obligations with confidence. The program also aligns with industry mentoring requirements while going well beyond compliance.
This approach has helped new entrants build solid foundations and supported experienced brokers refine their operations, sharpen their judgement, and lift the standard of advice they deliver.
Recognition of a shared commitment
The Mentor of the Year finalist recognition reflects not just individual effort, but the commitment of the brokers who engage fully in the mentoring process. These are brokers who take responsibility for their development, ask better questions, and understand the weight of the decisions they help clients make.
It also reflects the broader mission of Masters Broker Group to raise the standard of mortgage broking in Australia by investing in people, not just processes.
Looking ahead
Awards nights come and go, but the work continues. The real measure of success is seen in the confidence of brokers, the quality of advice delivered, and the number of Australians who achieve home ownership with clarity and trust.
Masters Broker Group remains committed to supporting brokers who want to build sustainable businesses and deliver better outcomes for their clients through structured mentoring and professional education.
A selective invitation
The Master Class mentoring program is not designed for every broker.
It is built for brokers who want to do this work properly, who care about long term outcomes for their clients, and who are prepared to invest in their own capability and standards.
