What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Ethical, patient advice is the thread that runs through accounts of dealing with this Sydney finance broker. Lenny, named in almost every account, is described repeatedly as trustworthy, dedicated and generous with his time, whether fielding a brief enquiry or guiding clients through complicated lending scenarios. Reviewers note that he replies quickly, at times almost immediately, and is prepared to spend long stretches discussing options and forwarding useful resources so that decisions are properly understood. Those weighing buying against renting to invest recall that he crunched the numbers for their circumstances and laid out clear comparisons that resonated with them.

His depth of knowledge across finance and banking, paired with a readiness to explain things thoroughly, is a point that comes up often, and clients describe feeling informed and looked after rather than pushed. A number of accounts raise the effort taken to find a suitable home loan option, including the chance to save money over the longer term. Others single out the integrity and commitment they attach to the service, portraying a professional who puts clients first across home loan enquiries and wider investment choices.

Lenny and the team at Orca Home Loans bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, taking the time to explain complex matters and take the stress out of the decision and helping to find the best possible home loan option that can save thousands. Lenny brings big firm experience and capability to this boutique firm, which now allows him to provide a more personal service, spending time with clients to properly understand their needs. He genuinely cares for his clients and is warm, approachable and friendly. I can’t recommend Lenny and the team enough.

My wife and I had a great experience with Lenny at Orca Home Loans. Given all the uncertainty and potential interest rate rises on the cards, we wanted to know our options regarding buying vs. renting to invest. Lenny was able to take us through the sums based on our situation and provided clear options that resonated with us. I would definitely recommend using Orca.

I have known Lenny for many years, and he’s always proven himself to be a totally ethical and dedicated professional. He’s a clear communicator, and I recommend h8m without reservation.
