What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Loan Lodge receives consistent praise for the way its mortgage broking service is delivered, with Sam named repeatedly as the person who makes the process straightforward. Reviewers describe clear explanations of the home loan journey, including the federal first home buyer guarantee and the low-deposit route, and note that complex bank terminology was translated into plain English. Several customers highlight responsiveness, saying questions were answered promptly, even minor ones, and that updates arrived throughout the loan application rather than only at the end.

First home buyers in Craigieburn and Melbourne feature prominently, alongside investors purchasing in Werribee and Hobart, with advice on lender choice and loan structure described as considered rather than rushed. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the speed at which approvals and property purchases progressed. Honest guidance and the money saved through suitable loan products are also mentioned. The recurring theme across the feedback is a broker who takes time to understand individual circumstances, communicates before and after the transaction, and removes much of the stress associated with borrowing, with first home purchases and investment acquisitions alike handled efficiently and without unnecessary pressure.

Sam helped me buy my first home using the 5% government deposit scheme. I didn’t really understand how the scheme or home loan process worked at the start, but he explained everything in a simple way and helped me through each step. He was always easy to contact and answered all my questions, even the small ones. Without the 5% deposit scheme, it probably would have taken me much longer to buy. Very happy with the service from Loan Lodge and would recommend Sam to other first home buyers.

I've been working with Sam over the past few weeks and he's been great to deal with. My situation is a little different to the average borrower, but he's taken the time to properly understand what I'm trying to achieve instead of just trying to fit me into a standard loan. He's been really insightful and has helped me understand what I need to do to put myself in the best position to get finance. He's always quick to get back to me, explains things in a way that's easy to understand, and it's obvious he knows his stuff. I never feel like I'm being rushed, and he's always happy to talk through different options. I'd definitely recommend Sam to anyone looking for a mortgage broker, especially if your situation isn't completely straightforward. Looking forward to continuing to work with him.

Sam at Loan Lodge was a massive help with my investment property purchase in Hobart. I wasn’t really sure which lender, or loan structure would suit best, but he talked me through it clearly and made the process feel a lot less stressful. He was easy to deal with, kept me updated, and actually explained things in plain English rather than just throwing bank terms at me. Really happy with the outcome and would recommend Sam to anyone buying an investment property. Thanks Sam !

I moved to Australia from Nepal three years ago and wasn’t sure if buying a home was possible so soon. Sam and the team at Loan Lodge helped me purchase my first home in Craigieburn through the Government First Home Guarantee Scheme with just a 5% deposit. They explained everything clearly, guided me through every step, and made the process easy and stress-free. I highly recommend Sam and Loan Lodge to any first home buyer looking for honest advice and great service.
