April 2022
Dear Clients & Friends,
MortgageWise.sg started from a small rented desk at 8 Cross St (now Manulife Tower) back in April 2014. With blessings, we’ve grown steadily over the years into a small team of mortgage consultants operating from our own premise now at International Plaza. By advocating honesty & integrity in our business and being a thought leader in the mortgage space, we’ve also gained a small following. We can’t appreciate enough the support from all our clients.
It’s most apt that 8 years after we started, exactly in the month of April, we launch our social mission with our chosen partner – Montfort Care. Because the next 8 years (2022 to 2030) will not and should not be business like before. We’ve been blessed greatly and it’s time to bless others, as we seek to bring more meaning into the work we do. Hence, from this month onwards:
Typically, that’s about $30 in cash donation to Montfort Care for each case that we broker based on the average ticket loan size we close. That may not sound like a lot, but it adds up. More importantly, it’s built into every deal we close henceforth – whenever we help a client save on mortgage interests, we’re also helping to make a small contribution to the needy in Singapore, administered via our social service partner. This motivates all of us here.
The funds will go a long way to support Montfort Care in two specific areas of needs:
- getting homeless people off the streets (we ourselves were surprised) and becoming self-dependant
- helping poor families/elderly struggling in public rental flats to one day own their HDB flats through Fresh Start Support Program (FSSP)
Some of us may be fortunate to own private property, perhaps more than one. When we refinance or source for loan packages, let’s remember those who don’t even have a proper roof over their heads, or those struggling and congesting with young kids in a cramped public rental flat.
And when you work with MortgageWise going forward, you’ll also be helping them indirectly in a small way, because of our pledge. Of course, you are most welcome to donate directly now to support our partner’s good work (hear the stories below).
We look forward to your support in our social cause, starting 2022!
