10/10! I've worked with Staci for three years now across an array of purchases including first home, investment properties and new vehicles. She always goes out of her way to provide the best advise not only on structures but also solutions to challenging banking situations. Professionalism with a smile!
Amazing service, beyond what I would have ever expected, and incredibly patient with our limited knowledge. Managed to get us the best deals on our first home mortgage.
As a business owner it can sometimes be quite challenging to get funding when you need it, Stephen has been there for me when needed and I've found him insightful, always helpful, super responsive.
As first home buyers in an active market Stephen was very responsive and provided clear guidance and advice that helped us secure the new home we wanted. Thanks Stephen!
Dylan at Sixtus is a legend. Helped me great advice about my mortgage structure that was personalized to me, and took care of re-fixing & helping me repay a lump sum off my loan. I didn't have to do anything! Dylan took care of it all. Everyone should have a mortgage adviser like Dylan.
Dylan helped my partner and I with the mortgage for our first home. He made the whole process very easy and enjoyable. He was always there to talk through any questions we had, at any time. We got all approvals done quickly, and he ensured we got the best rates. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dylan and Sixtus. Big thanks again.
Having very limited mortgage experience, Steve was professional and patient with us and explained everything in a language we could understand at every step of the process. Steve presented us with various options and managed to negotiate a great rate for us. Strongly recommend Steve to anyone seeking a mortgage, his years of experience in the industry really make him a superb mortgage broker.
Henry did a fantastic job for me - guiding me through every part of the process, offering great financial and loan structuring advice and even taking a last minute auction day phone call. Could not recommend more!
I HIGHLY recommend Linda and her team especially if you are a first home buyer! She provided sound advice and guidance that helped us navigate the home loan process. She took the time to ensure that we understood the process and went above and beyond when dealing with the bank on our behalf. We are extremely grateful for her help and expert guidance and look forward to working with her again 🙂
I absolutely love Henry and Peter! They work magic and make seemingly impossible things possible. They are hunters of the best rates and deals and really go out of their way to make the very scary and troublesome mortgage industry manageable.
I had a fantastic experience getting my mortgage sorted through Kyle. He was very helpful and understanding during the whole process in order to meet our expectations. Highly recommend his services. You made it happen for us which was the most important thing. Thanks again Kyle.
I had a great experience with Total Mortgage! As a first home buyer with no experience at all, Jordan and Xavier did an exceptional job on assisting me for the whole lending process. Highly recommend their services! Fast response, easy to deal with, excellent communication, informative, and helpful. Even though we had lots of linguistic barriers, I had no problem dealing with them . From the initial assessment to settlement date - all went so well. Thank you Total Mortgages!!! N thank you for the gift too that we received at our door when we came back from Aussie
