Rob Lees
The O. G.
When Rob purchased the Mortgage Choice Blaxland franchise in 2009 it was an opportunity to combine his background as an accountant and financial planner with over twelve years in a leadership role within the local Blue Mountains community.
"Buying a home is more than just a financial decision, it's also an emotional decision filled with expectations and dreams of a better future. I understand this and consider it a privilege to share in what will be one of the most important decisions of your life."
Rob expanded the business in 2011 when he purchased the neighbouring Mortgage Choice, Penrith and with both offices, they are now more accessible to the wider Blue Mountains, Penrith and Glenmore Park regions.
Rob has lived and worked in the area since 1995. His academic qualifications include Bachelor of Business (Accounting), Diploma in Financial Services (Financial Planning) and Diploma in Financial Services (Finance/ Mortgage Broking Management). He is also an MFAA Accreditated Credit Advisor and Justice of the Peace.
Rob and his wife Barb have four adult children and eleven grandchildren. Work and family combined keep Rob very busy and to stay sane, he enjoys cycling, travel and weekends away.
Christine Chapman
“Working with a professional team and providing great customer service are two opportunities I value”
Christine joined at the start of 2014 and brought with her a wealth of experience in office administration, having worked in many industries, such as banking, manufacturing, event management, adult education and human resources. She also co-owned a successful local business for over 20 years.
In her role as Business Manager, Christine keeps the business humming… she looks after accounts, bookkeeping, HR, office management and the rest of the team!
Christine’s personal achievements have seen her trekking in Nepal with her youngest son in 2015 and walking 30 kms in the 2017 Sydney Coastrek, with three of her besties, raising $11,000 for the Fred Hollows Foundation. In 2018, she also organised a Trivia Night for local businesses to raise over $6,000 for drought-stricken farmers in Western NSW.
In her spare time, Christine can be found spending time in her lovely garden or heading out to Orange to visit her eldest son.
