What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Barwon Mortgages is named throughout customer feedback as a brokerage where Sarah Daly and Kathryn Asmussen handle home loan applications with patience and clear explanation. Several accounts note that questions are answered promptly by email and phone, and that each stage of the lending process is explained in plain terms, which proved particularly valuable for clients without prior experience of buying property. Accounts cover refinancing existing mortgages, securing finance for a first home, and coordinating the sale of one property while purchasing another.

A recurring theme is the persistence shown in finding a loan that fits unusual circumstances, including self-employment and limited time in current work, with borrowers noting that applications were managed professionally from start to finish. Friendliness and genuine care come through strongly, one single parent describing feeling understood and well supported, while another client appreciated the referral of a conveyancer. Several borrowers have returned for later refinancing or additional purchases, suggesting relationships that continue beyond a single transaction. The consistency of communication and the willingness to keep clients informed at every step form the common thread across the accounts, with attention to individual financial situations evident throughout.

We’ve worked with Barwon Mortgages, specifically Kathryn Asmussen, over the past few months. Kathryn supported us with our financial goals and helped us plan to sell a house in one location and buy in another. She provided excellent service, was extremely patient, and always responded quickly.

Kathryn from Barwon Mortgage Brokers has been incredibly helpful as I navigated buying my first property. Her timely and thorough communication was excellent, ensuring I understood all possible avenues whether it was buying or building. She explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand, as I had no experience in the field. I would definitely recommend using this service, it streamlined my experience and assisted me greatly in being able to purchase my first home. 5 stars!

I went into the purchasing process with only the basic knowledge. Kathryn was very patient and helped explain any questions that came up through throughout the process. In addition to this, she was always attentive to emails when required. She was also able to recommend a great conveyancer.

Sarah from Barwon Mortgages has been simply amazing to deal with. As a single Mum, to feel understood and then have your broker work so hard to get you a mortgage that fits is so amazing. I've loved working with Sarah and have so appreciated her support and care the whole way through. She is a gem.

Sarah was very helpful when applying for our house loan. We were a difficult case being a sole trader and not in our jobs long. She managed to find us the best loan that suited us. She responded quickly to any questions and communicated throughout each step, keeping us in the loop. We are so very greatful for everything she has done for us.
