Episode 15, #GetChatty About Your Local Businesses, Series 1
Simon started working in the sector in the mid-90s and has since set up Pink Flamingo in 2021. We talked about his journey, his LGBT+ aware approach, aspects that could hint one’s own home may not be as far away as they think, and some tips on managing one’s mortgage.
I want this episode not only to be about home loans but also about making informed decisions and finding knowledgeable pros who try to understand you. As individuals, we need to take steps to know where we are in life in general and create opportunities for ourselves to think ahead.
It’s a lot to think about, but it’d be worth it.
Fortune favours those who are prepared, if we’re preparing ourselves as much as possible, when an opportunity comes, either a chance to get a home or entrepreneurship.

Here are my top 3 from this episode, which may help you plan ahead.
- Working with professionals like Simon is a great way to get an overview of the market because they’re not bound to one institution; they can give you a client-centric approach and find a home loan process that meets your needs.
- Simon shared some insights on managing the impact of changes like interest rates. Things like being informed about different options and comparing that with who you are can be very helpful in making educated decisions – it’s a big commitment!
- I’m particularly impressed by Simon’s inclusive practice because, just like in industries like healthcare, education and many more, taking that step to understand your client as an individual instead of boxing them into criteria is such a good way to improve outcomes and build better trust.
This conversation covers general advice and concepts about the home loan space; everyone’s case is different, so when you’re seeking advice specifically for you, please reach out to pros like Simon and weigh out what’s the best for you.
