What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Refinancing and new loan setups for first home buyers and self-employed clients are the work that fills the accounts for this Bendigo brokerage, and Michael is the adviser named repeatedly across them. Reviewers describe prompt, transparent communication at every stage, with questions answered quickly and updates arriving as the application moves along. A recurring theme is the willingness to take on circumstances other lenders had treated as too difficult, including self-employment and a return to work after time away.

Several customers mention finance approved unconditionally within a week of a form being received, and the speed of the process generally draws frequent comment. The relaxed, unhurried atmosphere Michael and his team create is credited with making a daunting journey feel manageable, while advice is described as clear and dependable, with concepts explained so newcomers could follow them. Team members such as Nizza and Princess are thanked by name for proactive follow-up and for sorting out technical matters with the application. Clients also note that support continues after repayments begin, and guidance remains available once the loan has settled.

Thanks to Michael we got finance unconditionally approved within a week from receiving our form 1. I was in probation at work after almost 2 years out of work after having 2 babies back to back. Alot of lenders would have wanted me to wait till my probationary period was up but Michael managed to get everything approved! Very happy with the result. Thanks Michael. Special thanks to Princess for following up on technical issues we had with the application too

We have had a wonderful experience with Michael and his team. When others saw us as self employed being too hard he was able to find someone willing to take us on. We can’t thank them enough

Michael and his team were excellent. They were very professional, prompt, and made allowances for my partner and my tricky schedule for meetings. They answered all our questions in a timely fashion no matter how silly they were. It was great to have someone we could trust to provide solid advice. Would recommend to anyone, but especially young first home buyers trying to navigate the system.

Highly recommend! Michael was recommended to us for our first home and we couldn't be happier. Michael and his team were always so helpful with any and all queries/concerns we had through the entire process as first home buyers. We found him to be available when needed with quick response times and updates as the process moved along. A great team to work with through such a daunting process.
