Amy was and is amazing.I had what I consider a complicated and daunting process to get a home loan. Amy took all the worry and stress out of it for me. She walked me through everything and made sure I understood everything that was happening and where we were at in the process. Amy understood what I needed and what I wanted and at no point made me feel bad or silly. Amy went far beyond, and I could not be happier with her service.

From the get go amy was absolutely lovely. I had no clue about buying a house and everything in between but Amy explained everything in detail and had so much patience. Amy is honestly the best and we are so grateful for her and her professionalism, kindness and reliability. I couldn’t recommend her more. Truly beyond grateful and appreciative of all her support and guidance threw a scary big step, if it weren’t for amy we wouldn’t have bought our first home so soon and smoothly. 100% recommend.

Amy was recommended to us by a friend and she did not disappoint! She is an absolute wealth of knowledge and made buying our dream home so easy. Always kept us informed throughout the process, even when she was supposed to be on leave over Christmas! We can't thank Amy enough for everything she did for us, and we will be using her again in the future. 100% would recommend her to anyone dealing with their finances.

She took the time to explain all of my options and helped me choose the best mortgage for my needs. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I always felt like Amy had my best interests at heart.Thanks to Amy, the mortgage process was smooth and stress-free. She was organised and efficient, and kept me informed every step of the way.I would highly recommend Amy to anyone in need of a mortgage.
