The best mortgage broker in Sydney CBD! Peter is an excellent mortgage broker who went the extra mile for me. As a first home buyer, I found the home loan process extremely stressful and confusing. Peter alleviated this by guiding me every step of the way, making me feel informed and confident in my choices. I would 100% recommend his services to anyone looking for a home loan!

Peter was fantastic. I tried to refinance with my existing private banking relationship and was turned down. Got introduced to Peter, I sent him some docs and he helped me complete paperwork and I got close to twice the amount I was looking for. Could not have done it without him. Quite an unbelievable difference and would recommend him to everyone.

The road to purchasing a family home was a long one for us (several years), and I lost count of how many pre-approvals Peter prepared us, or how many questions he patiently answered. Peter is helpful, knowledgeable, patient, and professional, and I would not hesitate to recommend his service to other home buyers—top-notch service!
