CHARLENE HAIDAR Credit Adviser

I have been in the financial services industry for 7 years and joined the EJM team in 2010. I originally started with EJM in their back office team supporting the financial advisers with implementing their strategies for their clients. In 2012 I completed additional study to obtain my credit license to assist people in obtaining credit and managing their debt.

"I’ve helped people achieve their goals of purchasing their first home, assisting them to create wealth with utilizing debt and assisted with forming a strategy to become debt free."

It’s been fulfilling to educate and assist my clients to better understand their debt and help them to achieve their goals when at times they haven’t believed their dreams could become a reality. I really believe that helping a client obtain finance is a small part of what I can offer and is more around the education of how debt can be used and the most efficient ways in order to extinguish it.

I can provide advice in the following areas:

  • Residential mortgages and home loans
  • Personal loans
  • Car leases
  • Rural loans
  • Commercial loans
  • Reverse mortgages
  • Self Managed Super Fund loans
  • Debt reduction strategies

Qualifications:


  • Diploma of Finance & Mortgage Broking Management

Lending:

  • Diploma of Finance & Mortgage Broking Management.

More About Me:

  • In 2016 I became a mum to a little boy named Matias.
  • I’ve competed at a National and State level in Volleyball, Netball and Athletics.
  • After meeting my husband I’ve been converted into a soccer fan and spend my weekends watching my husband play soccer as a Goal Keeper and being kept up to date with the English Premier League.
  • Love to travel and experience other cultures especially coming from a mixed background.

Creating Happiness

Here at EJM Financial Services, we pride ourselves on ensuring that you, our client, achieve your life goals. They may be small or big, they may be short term or long term, and our only objective is to Create Happiness for you and your family.

"I'm incredibly grateful that my version of happiness was fully supported by the team at EJM."

With the exception of reading the odd "Finance for Dummies” book, I had no idea what getting financial advice would be like. I assumed that my consultation with Brendan would involve looking at my asset to liability ratio, and then a whole heap of judgement about my past financial decisions. Boy, was I wrong, (thankfully).

The best part of working with EJM was taking the time to reflect on what REALLY makes me happy. When you take a step back and you look at happiness more holistically (and stop treating your bank balance as the only indicator), it's amazing what you can achieve.

I knew that if I wanted to reach my end goal of being able to take 6-12 months off work to drive around Australia, then I would need to make some changes. Now, two years into my journey, I'm credit card free (for the first time in 15 years) and I have savings starting to grow in preparation for my adventure. The best bit is that I've not had to sacrifice my love of travel in the meantime.

What happiness looks like is different for everyone. I'm incredibly grateful that my version of happiness was fully supported by the team at EJM. They have been wonderful to work with and make me feel confident that my future is bright (and very HAPPY).

"Thank you Manny and all the team at EJM. I feel like I’m part of your family"

Me and my husband, Walter, were introduced to Manny in 2015 by our previous financial adviser who was retiring and recommended Manny and the EJM team. How lucky were we, and especially myself, as my darling husband passed away in 2017. I worked as a radiographer until my retirement three years ago.

Manny’s advice and guidance have been outstanding. I refer to it as the “Exceptional Journey to Managing” (EJM) our financial destiny.

In short, I have a comfortable and tranquil life. I’ve got a big smile on my face. Thank you Manny and all the team at EJM. I feel like I’m part of your family more than a customer.

"We look forward to our continuing guidance and have absolute confidence in all the advice."

I am writing this as a happy retiree. I have known Manny for many years now and all of his advice, care, and planning has helped me achieve a personal goal of retiring with the knowledge that I can continue a lifestyle where I can still enjoy doing things and going places with my wife Gina, and still live happily and comfortably week to week.

I have only been in retirement now for six months but I can honestly say I feel very comfortable. Knowing that you have the financial backing to help you continue until well into your nineties is most important.

Manny’s personal care and guidance in our financial matters have been an absolute winner. The continual home visits and catch-ups with our finances and just letting us know where we are at with our superannuation funds is most gratifying.

Manny has helped us with forward planning. We look forward to our continuing guidance and have absolute confidence in all the advice given by Manny and his courteous staff at EJM.

"Manny has helped and advised us on many things over the years and his advice has always been right."

We met Manny in the late 80s. He used to come to our house back then, and it was like having a friend drop in. He was so easy to talk to and we could follow his instructions easily.

He filled us in on what Mick was to do to have a comfortable retirement. It is such a relief to know that we will be able to spend our retirement years doing what we love, travelling around Australia in our caravan enjoying our beautiful country.

Manny has helped and advised us on many things over the years and his advice has always been right. We thank him for that.

We look forward to continuing our friendship with the team at EJM for many years to come.

"We would have been lost in planning our retirement on our own."

Several years, ago we were referred to EJM by my daughter who was very happy with the advice they had provided her and her partner. We met with Manny and he explained the advice process and we were immediately relieved as it seemed simple enough.

Over the years Manny and the EJM team have helped us plan for our retirement and several years ago, we retired successfully and we have a secure income and peace of mind knowing that the team at EJM keep an eye on things and are always there for us to answer questions and help.

We would have been lost in planning our retirement on our own and this played heavy on our mind. With the EJM team, this stress has been removed and we are thoroughly enjoying our retirement. We look forward to working with Manny and his team over the coming years as his entire team is friendly and courteous.

"We will be forever grateful for the help and support that is available through EJM."

We first met Brendan through recommendation from my best friend Hanna. When we met with Brendan, we were not in a very good spot financially. We had just become close to losing our first home and two cars that we had together. Paul losing his job and having a 6-month old baby girl - it was a very stressful time.

After working through our financials with Brendan, we were on the road to recovery. Now 6 years later, we are in such an amazing spot financially. It is wonderful. If we hadn’t met Brendan, I honestly don’t know where we would be.

We will be forever grateful for the help and support that is available through EJM. Now we are excited to see the next chapter in our life begin.
