Grateful !

In my head I was lost in a Realestate LaLa land and didn't know where is best to start from. Draining conversations with multiple banks and brokers, basically I was stuck to make a move. Then I was referred to Simon through my friend and couldn't be more grateful for it. In the first phone call Simon was very straightforward and upfront with the possible process, fees, rates and we started ball rolling. It gave me confidence as I felt that Simon was very knowledgeable and had everything under control in this volatile lending market industry. In the process I have also come to realize that Simon is very respected and has very good relationship in the bank industry. That’s huge. I ended up with the best loan and interest rate that was best suited for my situation. I listened to his advise to lock interested for two years and it feels extremely comforting. Simon also has good human characters he is pleasant, very approachable, always contactable, super responsive and very patient to answer all my questions. I mean to all my questions and I had many. Long story short thanks to Simon and his wonderful team I live in my beautiful home now, that I thought was not possible. Huge respect very grateful for Simon's and his team efforts. Do not hesitate to use his services with confidence you will be in good hands!

Without Simon and his team I wouldn't have been able to purchase my property. Simon's team held my hand every step though the process and answered to all my question. I couldn't recommend their services more highly!

Fantastic knowledge and went the extra mile!

Simon, Jess, and Ainsley were so fantastic throughout the process of applying and securing my mortgage. As stressful as the process is, I felt I was in good hands and that removed a considerable amount of the pressure. They kept me updated the whole way. My situation was a little out of the ordinary and Simon, Jess, and Ainsley were up for the challenge and worked tirelessly to make it happen. They even called me once settlement happened, which was a beautiful surprise! I'd recommend the team at Finance for Living for straightforward and not so straightforward mortgages, they are so knowledgable and work miracles!

Second time around and same great service.

This is the second time my wife and I have used Simon and his team at Finance for Living to assist with our loan. I have no hesitation in recommending Simon/Jess and team with your borrowing needs they were great at breaking down the process and explaining everything as we went. We were informed throughout the whole process and kept up to date with progress. They have helped simplify what could be a very stressful and time consuming experience and we will be back again. Thanks Again Ken and Fiona.

Couldn't Have Asked for More; Simon and His Team are Excellent

We were have trouble finding finance due to a family issue that was not in any way our fault. We applied to a range of lenders without any luck until a very good friend recommended Simon and his team. The rest is history, yes Simon found us a loan ( At a much lower interest rate than we expected) and now we are about to move in to a lovely home that is the house we wanted...not a compromise that we could just afford.... Simon was always available, offered sound advice and genuinely works for the borrower. Yes, he has a fee and yes he receives a commission, but he like the rest of us has to pay his staff ( Also Excellent by the way) and make a living. Additionally he recommended a fantastic Buyer's Advocate who assisted us in buying our new home and who were equally focused on assisting us and made the whole process a pleasure without the worry that accompanies such significant decisions. So, the upshot is that Simon and his team are excellent in terms of communication, technical advice and best of all care about their clients.

Yet another stellar experience

We have continuously worked with Simon for the better part of the last decade. He's helped us refinance on four occasions, and the purchase of two properties. Simon and his team continue to be an absolute asset to us. They get the job done quickly, easily, are always pleasant and available, and have our best interests at heart. He and his team are always looking out for what's best for us, giving excellent advice, and demonstrating superb market knowledge. There's a reason we keep coming back time and again. Highly recommend.

We found Simon to be very knowledgeable and helpful when we needed anything done. Even when he was not in the office he made it his job to work things out. Simon made the process of all the paperwork much easier. I would recommend him to anyone that needed a mortgage broker in the future. His staff always updated us quickly when we sent them an email with any enquiry's.

We would have been lost without Simon and the team! Their knowledge has been invaluable, they have kept us on top of everything and are always available for questions along the way. Couldn’t be happier with our outcomes so far!

You will never need another Mortgage Broker

You will never need another Mortgage Broker

I've had the pleasure of referring a number of people to Simon O'Kelly and his team for a number of years. I was delighted to then experience first hand his expertise and care when I recently purchased an investment properly. Simon's point of difference, is not only in his knowledge, but more so his genuine care and his desire to help make a positive difference in people's lives. Simon is always only a phone call away and is always so happy to help in whatever way he can. His professional and personal approach is backed up by an efficient and effective team who guide you every step of the way. Look no further. Simon O'Kelly is the only mortgage you will ever again need. Thank you Simon!!

We have no idea what we're doing, and Simon knows exactly what he's doing, which is why we keep coming back to him. Professional, friendly, and has been supportive since Day 1 of our desire to use ethical lenders. Thanks, Simon (and the team!)
