We're REA

REA Group  is not your average digital business. From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne’s east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.
 
With bold and ambitious goals, we are changing the way the world experiences property. No matter where you're at on your property journey, we're here to help with every step - whether that's finding or financing your next home.

Our people are the key to our success. At the heart of everything we do, is a thriving culture centred around high performance and care. We are purpose driven and collaborative, which drives innovation and our ability to make a real impact. As such, we’re proud to be named in Australia’s “Top 5” Best Workplaces two years in a row, as well as being recognised as a Best Workplace for Women.

Role and team

It’s an exciting time to be part of Financial Services. You will be part of a team working together to solve unique challenges, like how to better connect Australian property seekers with finance and mortgage advice.

Financial Services sits at the unique juncture of REA Group’s vast consumer audience on realestate.com.au, the nationally recognised Mortgage Choice brand, and the unparalleled property data and insights offered by PropTrack.

Our Mortgage Choice Brokers work with customers to make the home loan process easier.

“What does a mortgage broker do?” Put simply, a mortgage broker can take the time and hassle out of shopping around for the right home loan and guide customers through the home buying process with expert advice.

Day to day of the job

The Help Center team supports our mortgage brokers and customers to create positive property and finance experiences. As the Support Officer, you’ll provide first level support for resolution of customer and broker tickets within the Mortgage Choice business. You will exhibit proficient technical skills, and excellent customer service focus in all daily responsibilities for the provision of quality support to all users while maintaining integrity and confidentiality.

Day to day responsibilities, but not limited to:

• Provide excellent proactive first level IT customer service to franchisees (our clients) via tickets, phone and remote log-ins, in a timely manner to service issues and requests 

• Escalate when appropriate to ensure problems or requests are resolved effectively

• Adherence to service level agreements and prioritisation of tickets

• Ensure that incident tracking tickets are kept updated with status events

• Maintain accuracy when completing data collection, lead allocation and system updating

• Identify training opportunities for internal customers and report to Help Centre Manager

• Actively interact with Help Centre platform and create/update existing articles

• Attend regular departmental, team and project meetings

• Onboarding/offboarding of users
