First Choice Mortgage & Protection
Simon Rhodes
Mortgage & Insurance Adviser
After completing my degree in Accounts & Finance, I became a little despondent with financial services. Pensions and investments just didn’t really do it for me. I wanted something more hands-on and practical.
So, after a few years as a bicycle courier, I hung up my Lycra and took up my calculator again, but this time as a mortgage advisor. This is where I found my passion for property transactions and the financing of them. It enabled me to get involved with the BTL market and utilise investor mortgages to build a portfolio of properties myself.
It gives me great satisfaction to assist clients in realising their property dreams, whether that is for their first residential property or their tenth BTL property.
Kevin Boyd
Mortgage & Insurance Adviser
After completing my Chartered Insurance Institute Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning in 2019, I began working with Simon, who had been my mortgage broker for many years and had helped me build my buy-to-let property portfolio.
I have a particular passion for helping first-time buyers navigate the challenges of purchasing their first home, making the process as clear and stress-free as possible.
Outside of work, I enjoy cycling in the hills around Brighton and playing tennis. I also lend a hand in my son’s independent vintage guitar shop, Outpost Music Exchange, in the North Laine area of Brighton.
