They have been so easy to deal with and have provided the necessary direction along the way.

They have been so easy to deal with and have provided the necessary direction along the way.

I have been working with the team at Hunterwood on and off for over a decade now. John and the team have been with me through a number of significant life changes. They have been so easy to deal with and have provided the necessary direction along the way. The most recent acquisition was an investment property; John suggested I work towards replacing my salary through a property portfolio. At first, I was skeptical. John explained in plain language why it was achievable and how to do it. Even though it's still not easy, his contacts such as property professionals selling positively geared properties under market value expedited the process. No question, John and his team should be your first point of contact when it comes to finance and your property plans. Sincerely, Daniel B

I've been working with John and his team for last two years. New loans, refinancing or just a piece of advice. They are pros. They saved me time, money and a few mistakes. Yes, highly recommend if you looking for a trusted advisor.

To whom this may concern I would like to take this opportunity to thank and commend John Manciameli from Hunterwood Solutions for helping my sons purchase their first home. John and his wonderful staff, Pamela and Belinda helped find the best home loan option for the boys. They always kept us informed and updated with any matters that arose and needed our attention. It was hard yakka, lots of huddles to jump over, sometimes it felt like the world was not on our side. But persistent and patience finally got us there. Without their hard work none of this would have been possible. Whilst waiting for the finance to be approved John being a builder broker, managed to find us an awesome building company. We worked together and have found the house we want to build. Exciting times ahead. Thoroughly recommend John and the team to anyone. Thank you for going above and beyond really appreciate your awesome work. Ka mau te wehi! Cheers Carolyn Reed and Ta

I highly recommend John not just for his indepth finance skills, but for the network around him.

I found John on The Smart Property Investor Podcast researching NDIS investment property. John specializes in investment property finance. His understanding of how to finance NDIS is arguably the best in the country. I later found out mortgage brokers send their clients to John such is his reputation. A bonus was John's network of NDIS specialists. He was able to refer me to reputable NDIS property experts and keep me clear of the property spruikers. This saved me a lot of time and money. He also explained some of the risks with NDIS investment even though that's not his role as a mortgage broker. John was able to restructure my loan to release equity and create multiple deposits for a number of acquisitions in the years to come. He found a boutique lender that I had never heard of before that had a specialized NDIS home loan. The rate was considerably cheaper than other lenders out there. I also had to put in less deposit than what the other lenders were asking. Finally, I would also like to point out the team that works around John. The team kept me up to date, explained what was going to happen next, and even how to mitigate any issues if and when they came up. I feel I am in the hands of an experienced broker whose service goes beyond just finance. I highly recommend John not just for his in-depth finance skills, but for the network around him. I look forward to working with John and the team at Hunterwood for many years to come. Adrian C

John introduced us to a streamlined process that saved us time and money.

John Manciameli assisted us with our knock-down re-build residential project in Sydney. Being in the property industry, we had certainly heard of mortgage brokers, but we were pleasantly surprised to come across the concept of a builder broker. John presented us with a panel of certified builders that had passed a vigorous panel selection process. A builder finder's guide (similar to a mortgage broker's credit guide) was presented to us to explain the process in more detail, including how a builder qualifies for panel selection and how a builder broker gets paid. Over the ensuing 6 month period John: 1. introduced us to software that created a scope of works to present to the builder. The software assisted in mitigating the risk of cost overruns by specifically detailing 162 items that builders typically estimate during the build process; 2. organised to meet relevant builders that specialised in the creation of a custom designed home at project builder prices. The panel builders had undergone a due diligence process carried out by John and his team so that we did not have to do this (thereby saving us time); and 3. explained the various components of the build contract and identified areas of concern that could have led to budget overruns. To summarise, John introduced us to a streamlined process that saved us time and money. John and his team are committed, energetic and delightful to work with. They have helped make what would have otherwise been a stressful situation, into a seamless and enjoyable process.

I've known John for over 10 years, 5 of those as my broker on my first investment property. John and his team have alway been diligent, honest and above all in my case, patient. During this year as we have been refinancing, they've always been ready and prepared to make the time to make sure my wife and I understand everything that is happening and why. They care about their customers and I can honestly say I feel like family when dealing with John and the team. I will not hesitate to recommend and will probably use their services again if we're lucky enough to invest again.

To Whom it may concern My wife and I approached John at Hunterwood Solutions in February of last year to help us buy our first home. John showed us our home loan options and his team provided us constant updates with the difficult process of getting the loan through the lender and apply for the various First Home Owner Grants. What was remarkable was John's understanding of the build process and the network of screened builders to interview. I had interviewed a number of mortgage brokers and none offered the unique combination of finance and construction skills. Nor the network of builders that he has had on his "Builder Finders" panel. Once finance was approved, John switched hats and became our builder broker. He was able to explain why we should be interviewing the two builders he had in mind, the traps in the contract and during construction that cause cost blowout, and how to get the price down. John referred us to two builders that specialized in the first homeowner build category. These builders gave us a customized home for the price of a project builder. A year later we are about to move in and the build has been very smooth. The builder John helped us to select has been very accommodating with any minor issues. The process has been exactly as John and the builder said it would happen. I would highly recommend John and his team at Hunterwood for their skills in both finance and construction.

His team helped us with the transition very efficiently and made it hassle free

We first met John when we were deciding to buy our first home 10 years ago. We first thought we didnt have a chance to break into the property market with our average income but he made it possible for us. He was diligent, made time for us and very trustworthy. Recently, we just had our mortgage refinanced and he and his team helped us with the transition very efficiently and made it hassle free. John really took time to explain every detail that seemed confusing to us-- being novice in this kind of business. I greatly appeciate their help and I highly recommend them.

I cannot recommend John and his team enough. They have helped us achieve our dream of owning our own property. From the first time i met John i felt that he could help us get where we wanted to be. I visited other brokers around the same time. But after those meetings i felt John was the guy i wanted to use.
