Expat wealth advisory adds mortgage capability

Expat wealth management firm Atlas Wealth has appointed Jeremy Harper to lead its new mortgage broking business.

Harper was previously the director of hfinance, a firm that worked with Australian and expat clients to find residential and commercial financial investment opportunities.

Atlas Wealth managing director James Ridley said that Harper was a known commodity to the organisation. "We've worked with Jeremy for a number of years in the background and found some clear synergies. Therefore it became a natural fit to assist expats further."

Harper has personal experience with the challenges of managing finances while abroad, having himself relocated previously to work in the US for several years. "I am very excited to be leading the Atlas Mortgages team as I have a complete understanding of the financial challenges that Australian expats face when trying to secure a mortgage having lived that life myself.

"Whilst there have been a number of lending policy changes made by the banks over the last couple of year this does not mean that an Australian expat can't secure a mortgage, it just means you need to work with a professional who knows which bank to work with that suits your circumstances."
