What do recent reviews say?

Every interaction reviewers describe shows same pattern: Michael, Ed, and their team answer questions fast, explain options without pressure, and stay involved months after purchase. First-time buyers particularly note the stress melted away once they saw how organised and transparent the process became; those refinancing or buying investment properties equally praise finding the right product for their situation rather than being sold on margins alone.

Named staff members (Michael Killiner, Ed Bosisto, Sean, Mima) appear across years of reviews handling first homes, upgrades, refinancing, and construction loans. The team answers emails at odd hours, provides six-monthly check-ins to flag better rates, and source referrals for surveyors and other services. Not one reviewer mentions pressure or feeling rushed.
