We've found our broker for life!Building your first home is stressful enough without having to worry about whether you're getting the right finance deal. Phil and his team took that stress off the table completely. When we came to him during our new build, he didn't just find us a mortgage, he steered us away from the wrong one first. We had an offer on the table from ANZ on a variable rate, and Phil advised against it, explained exactly why it would cost us more, and secured us a 2-year fixed rate at 5.38% with a 100% offset account instead. That kind of honest, strategic advice is rare and genuinely valuable.But Phil went above and beyond in ways we didn't even expect. He structured the loan split specifically so we could still qualify for the First Home Owner Grant, something we wouldn't have even known to ask about. On top of that, he set up a savings goal to keep us on track financially throughout the build, handled every single piece of paperwork end to end, and guided us through the entire process without us ever feeling lost or overwhelmed.Construction loan while building -> refinance after completion.It was the easiest process we've ever been through. Phil made something that should have been complicated feel completely effortless.Throughout the entire build he was communicative, professional, and always a step ahead.We are already looking forward to sitting down with Phil again in two years to purchase our first investment property. That says everything. If you're buying, building, or refinancing, do yourself a favour and call Phil first.
