Meet Michelle CEO, MLC Financial Services
Michelle began her 20-year career with the Royal Bank of Scotland, working her way up from a cashier role to a premium manager position. She later moved to estate agency Countrywide, qualifying on the job as a mortgage adviser.
In the years that followed Michelle worked across the North West in Manchester, Warrington, Wilmslow and nearby Cheadle Hulme. Last year, Michelle set up independently as MLC Financial Services, working out of the Leighton Snow offices as of October 2019.
Originally from Macclesfield, Michelle lives in leafy Mobberley with her partner and daughter. She commented: “Bramhall is the ideal base for MLC Financial Services - there’s real team spirit at Leighton Snow Estate Agents. Working with Leighton is mutually beneficial for our businesses and for our clients, who benefit from streamlined property processes when combining our services.
“Working together means that we’re able to establish mortgage viability quickly and keep everyone updated on the progression of the mortgage process. As well as providing all kinds of mortgage products and related protection services, we can usually offer an agreement in principle on the same day, too.”
Michelle works to an ethos of delivering exceptional customer service that’s flexible to each client’s needs. MLC Financial Services fit around the customer - clients can call in at the office on Fir Road or arrange a meeting at a time and place convenient to them, including at weekends or in the evening.
Catering for all kinds of residential clients, Michelle can advise on individual and buy-to-let mortgages, as well as related products like home and contents insurance, life insurance and critical illness cover.
In-house mortgage advice now available at Leighton Snow
Commenting on the partnership announcement, Leighton Snow said: “Teaming up with MLC Financial Services brings more knowledge to the company and means we can now offer more comprehensive services for our clients.
“We pride ourselves on full transparency; by working with Michelle we will be able to keep clients updated, investigate delays and ensure the property buying and selling processes are progressing efficiently.”
