Jake and the team have been amazing throughout the whole process. We thought applying for a new loan was impossible as I started a new job recently, but Jake made it through for us! The team really took time to make sure we understand everything, Himal and Harley were also very thorough at explaining the instructions and steps with the paperwork to ensure we got things right in one go. They also followed up after everything was settled to ensure the loan is set up correctly which we greatly appreciated. They put our minds at ease, knowing we are fully in good hands. Thank you Jake and the team, we highly recommend you guys!

I was recommended the ‘Property couch’ podcast by my boss at work. I was hesitant as I normally just listened to sports podcasts but decided to give it a go. Bryce and Ben instantly had me hooked and I have now caught up on all episodes. Everyone I dealt with from Alana, to Jack, to Jake were incredible.Highly recommend this service to anyone and everyone I can.

Highly recommend Alana and her team for their expertise and their exceptional service when it came to helping me to refinance and purchase a new property. Their communication with me was thoughtful, regular and clear every step of the way. Made my job easy! I am very happy with the competitive rates and approvals achieved. Thank you Alana, Jack, Jake and Sam.
