What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Blue Gum Loans is a Launceston finance brokerage whose clients repeatedly highlight the work of Ryan and Sally Pendergast, the brokers named across nearly every account. A number of customers describe the pair as friendly, patient and knowledgeable, with communication that stayed clear and prompt from the first enquiry through to settlement. A recurring theme is the effort taken to explain each stage of the home loan process in plain language, particularly for first home buyers and ABN holders whose income structures or circumstances sit outside the ordinary.

Reviewers mention proactive research into suitable lenders and rates, including options tailored to government, healthcare and police employees, and the patience shown when two property approvals had to be secured at once. Buyers of first homes, investment properties and owner-occupied houses all appear among the accounts. The efficiency and organisation of the paperwork is praised often, with clients noting that a normally stressful experience felt manageable and well handled. Sally is singled out for guidance on deposit savings, and Ryan for going above and beyond to keep borrowers informed. The consistent refrain is of a straightforward, well-communicated path to approval and a team that remains available after settlement.

I found Blue Gum Loans in one of the local Launceston Chitchat pages as a recommendation from their previous clients and I am so glad I listened and trusted Ryan and Sally with purchasing our first home! They are friendly, patient, and knowledgeable, and communication is excellent! They helped us get the best home loan rate suited to our lifestyle, and assisted us with the paperwork from start to finish! Ryan and Sally will go above and beyond to help first home buyers secure a home, and we got ours in just 3 months at a time when the housing market was so competitive! We highly recommend Blue Gum Loans especially for FHB, you'll be in safe hands.. Thank you so much Ryan and Sally ❤️

Ryan and the team at Blue Gum Loans were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Ryan is such a genuine, friendly guy who went above and beyond to make the whole mortgage process easy to understand. His communication was outstanding, keeping us informed every step of the way and taking the time to explain everything clearly. We honestly couldn't have asked for a better broker. We owe him big time! Thanks so much, Ryan and the entire Blue Gum Loans team, we can't recommend you highly enough! Jessie & Tim.

I recently used Ryan and Sally to arrange finance for my property purchase, and I couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. From start to finish, they were informative, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely personable. They took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of my questions promptly, and were always available whenever I needed assistance or reassurance. Their expertise and dedication made what could have been a stressful experience feel straightforward and easy. Ryan and Sally went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and their communication throughout was exceptional. I highly recommend Ryan and Sally to anyone looking for finance brokers who truly care about their clients and deliver outstanding service. Thank you both for making my property purchase such a positive experience! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

As ABN holders, Sally and Ryan gave us a few different options in making our home loan application feel easy! Most banks make it really difficult to get a home loan and Sally & Ryan were great! From the day we applied for pre-approval until the day of settlement they were always there on our side and made that part of buying a house a breeze when usually the finance side can be quite stressful. Very happy and thankful for their service. Highly recommend and would use again.
