EP70 Breaking Into Property Finance with Callum Taylor

In this episode of The Property Fund Podcast, we sit down with Callum Taylor, founder of Portway Finance, to discuss his unconventional journey into property finance. Callum shares how a chance interaction on the golf course shifted his career from accountancy to brokering, the challenges of breaking into the industry with no prior knowledge, and the lessons he learned while climbing the ranks.

We also dive into the realities of working in a fast-paced, high-pressure brokerage, the importance of branding in finance, and how Callum built and scaled his own brokerage business. If you're looking for insights into property finance, brokering, or starting your own firm, this episode is packed with valuable takeaways.
