Director
Kevin Spear
Hi, my name is Kevin Spear - I am the MD at Mortgage and Equity Release Advice. I have over 35 years’ experience in the Financial Services Industry and I am as passionate now about giving clients a good outcome as when I started my career in the early nineties. Over the years I have worked in a variety of senior roles, and now I enjoy developing the client proposition for our firm. That said advising my clients is where I am happiest. I specialise in Equity Release, Buy to Let Portfolio Funding and Residential Mortgages. Giving a service above and beyond expectations is what we all aim for. I am a family man, I have three sons - two grown up – one growing up fast. I am passionate about the outdoors and enjoy Sea Kayaking, Skiing, Scuba diving and Hiking with my family. I am a keen charity activist undertaking various events in recent years, raising money for our favourite charities.

Assistant to the Director
Tracey Williams
Hi, my name is Tracey. I have worked within the Financial Services industry for over 20 years in a variety of roles including marketing, management and product design. Since moving to Mortgage and Equity Release Advice, I have been able to get back to talking directly to clients, something which I really enjoy.  I always want to help wherever I can and endeavour to do the best for our customers. Outside of work, I am married and have two young children, so my weekends are taken up with football matches and dance lessons currently! I enjoy running, spending time with my family and a good catch up with friends over coffee.

Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Roxana Damacus
Hello! I’m Roxana, a dedicated adviser, with a passion for helping clients navigate the often complex world of mortgages. I understand that applying for a mortgage can be a daunting experience, and that’s where I come in. My role is to guide you through every step, ensuring you find the right mortgage solution that fits your needs and making the entire process as seamless as possible. I believe in providing honest, transparent advice with a strong focus on my clients’ best interests. My ability to explain complex information in a clear, straightforward manner ensures that you feel confident and informed at every stage. As a bilingual Mortgage Advisor (fluent in both English and Romanian), I’m able to bridge communication gaps and work more closely with clients from diverse backgrounds. This gives me a deeper understanding of their needs and helps me to tailor the best mortgage products for them. I specialise in helping first-time buyers secure their dream homes, advising existing homeowners on the best remortgage deals, guiding clients up the housing ladder, and ensuring families are well-protected with the right insurance plans. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling and spending quality time with my family, which keeps me balanced and energised to offer the best possible service to my clients. Let’s make your mortgage journey smooth and successful together!

Mortgage and Equity Release Adviser
Caroline Heale
Hi, I’m Caroline. I have 18 years’ experience in Financial Services specialising in Mortgage Advice and Protection. I believe in being open and honest and will always strive to find the best mortgage option for you; my aim being to make your mortgage experience as smooth and stress free as possible, keeping you updated at all stages of the process. ​I have wide ranging experience including helping First Time Buyers, Next Time Buyers and Buying to Let, Remortgaging and extra borrowing for home improvements and debt consolidation, Sub Prime lending and Bridging Finance and will always have your best interests at the forefront of everything I do. Outside of work I live with my husband, Dave. We both love the outdoors, and long country or seaside walks with a picnic are often on the agenda when we both have the same day off. The long walks in turn compensate for my love of baking (I’m no Mary Berry but I’m surprised my husband is still as slim as he is!) and visits to the diverse food establishments that Bristol has to offer (a particular favourite is the street food on offer down at Cargo on the Harbourside). I am also a keen traveller and will be off to a far-flung place as soon as we are allowed.

Hi, my name is Joanne. I have worked within the Financial Services and the Accountancy industry for over 8 years in a variety of roles including Book Keeping, Marketing, Mortgage Adviser and Later Life Lending Specialist. Since moving to Mortgage and Equity Release advice, I have been able to help many clients with their mortgage needs. These have ranged from clients buying that first dream home, to finding mortgage for their forever home. Many of my clients are business owners looking for mortgage advice and I also spend a lot of my time working with older clients looking at later life and equity release borrowing. Outside of work, I am married and have two young children, so my weekends are taken up with running a busy family and a variety of pets.

Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Oana Salomie
Hello, my name is Oana. I am an experienced mortgage broker always excited to build client relationships - I really enjoy making people happy. A mortgage isn’t just about borrowing money, it’s about realising an aspiration, whether it’s helping families get the dream home, first time buyers getting on the property ladder, or investing in buy to let properties or commercials, it is such a rewarding feeling. Apart from finding my clients the best solution, I have one main goal when it comes to arranging mortgages and protection products for my clients, and that is to remove as much stress from them as possible. When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with my family and friends.

Mortgage and Protection Adviser
Diana Danga
Hi, I’m Diana. My role as an adviser means I can help and advise clients of all levels, in both residential and buy to let mortgages. Central to the advice process is my understanding of clients and their particular unique situation. My communication skills provide me with the foundation to create and maintain strong professional relationships with clients. I get to know my clients quite well during the course of a mortgage and life insurance application and understand their requirements to help them secure the best possible solution to achieve their goals. Integrity in business is incredibly important to me and I will always go the extra mile to ensure the house buying process is a less stressful experience for my clients. Outside of work I love spending time with my family and friends.
