When our First Home Owners start to plan for buying a home, there are a number of government grants and schemes that will become a part of their planning.

As a single parent, having lost property in the break up, I was very anxious and embarrassed to be starting over again. Kirsty and Andrew made me feel respected and supported. They reassured me on the many occasions that I had a worry, and encouraged me. They were always friendly and calm. I never felt like they were too busy to talk.I am a very happy and relieved customer.

We did our homework with living home loans before searching for a property and it was super easy! Then began our search which seemed every weekend to go nowhere. Finally we found a place and started the online auction process. We won and unfortunately we didn’t realise it was unconditional after being told we would have a 21 days finance clause. Stressful was an understatement but as soon as I called Kirsty and her team she reassured me that nothing would go wrong we had already done our homework. The calm, personable and professional way were treated was a true blessing especially at that time. There are no grey areas with Living home loans and to be treated with such respect with such a life changing purchase was the icing on the cake. Thank you Chana,Cliff,Indie and Mila xxx

My husband and I recently approached Andrew and Kirsty for their assistance in looking at purchasing our first home. We've been long time renters and felt we had a short window of opportunity to get into the market. Andrew was of great assistance working through our current finances and helping us understand our position in the current market. We persisted with searching for a new home and suddenly we were in a 30 day settlement period, before we were even able to move through the pre-approval process! Andrew and the team accelerated their work and were able to provide us with advice and options very quickly, and before we knew it our finance was pending, then approved. Personally, as a first home buyer, I had no idea what to expect of this overwhelming process. What I really appreciated, was feeling that Andrew and his team were definitely considering what was best for us, and our finances, and I felt a great sense of trust in their guidance and the direction we were heading. The communication was really wonderful and I felt we were constantly informed of what stage we were up to and what was next. I'm really glad I found them, and that we used their services. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Living Home Loans for their professionalism and for a job well done. They truly did the legwork to help us get our first home!

Garry and his team were amazing, got our loan in a record time (heard many awful stories from others who used banks and other brokers that took many weeks for assessment) - less than 2 weeks. Not only did we receive finance approval quickly, but Garry also managed to get the financier to provide mortgage documents on the same day.Thank you so much Garry.Kim & Paul Ring

I've been very happy with the support and outcomes from Living Home Loans. Reccomended by a friend, I was still hesitant at first as we are in different states. I've been through them twice, once for second home (buying on my own in 2019) and for refinance in 2021. On both occasions there was that extra special personal touch, they followed up with me well after settlement to check and I was happy with the outcome. I would highly recommend this business.

Wow, what can I say about Kirsty and Andrew ? I’ve come to realise that they operate a very unique team, they use their insight under an excellent set of values and world views. This combination seems to result in fantastic outcomes for their clients, myself included.I am grateful to now own a home that I could only dream about for 10 years. I never thought it would be possible and here I am enjoying settling in, feeling secure again in my own home and placing my personal design and flair around the property.Thank You Kirsty and Andrew.Deb Tinker

Just recently did a refinance with these guys, had no problems can be a long process though start to finish . Good communication and fast response times via email. Best thing I thought was that you could speak to anyone in office and they would help you rather then say will get back to later. Honest and reliable business thanks again.

We highly recommend Kirsty, Andrew & the team at Living Home Loans. We were referred to them after going through several Mortgage Brokers that wouldn’t even help us refinance from a high interest rate fixed loan so we were close to selling up our house but they helped us find a bank that took on our loan & at a massive drop in interest rates so we were able to keep our house & save. This was about 2 years ago & we have now used their services again to refinance to do an extension & renovations on our house & they have been nothing but professional & helpful. We also live in the ACT so have had all contact & assistance via email & phone so it doesn’t matter where you live in Australia they can help.

It took me over 18 months to find my home, but Andrew from Living Home Loans supported me throughout the whole house hunting journey. He is very approachable and trustworthy, and actually a very funny guy. The team in Living Home Loans are so professional and helpful, always respond to my questions promptly and accurately. I highly recommended them. Thank you Andrew again for the service, you have made my torturing 18 months less painful, yep, definitely less painful. :))))

The team at living home loans helped me get into my first home. With out them I would most likely still be renting considering I had attempted to get a loan directly through two banks and two other mortgage brokers before I was recommended to get in touch with the team and they made it work! They made everything so easy especially being as it was a construction loan. I think they would have answered over 100 questions I had about everything and even went to the effort to help me understand it all. I have just finished using them to refinance and they once again made it so easy and where very helpful and got me the best deal out there. I will continue to work with them and can not recommend them enough!

BEST BROKER ON THE GOLD COAST!!! After interviewing 5 of the top rated Mortgage Brokers on the Gold Coast, after talking to Andrew for 5 minutes, his knowledge, experience and honesty made him the clear leading in his industry.He helped me through the entire process, answering all my after hours calls, keeping me updated along the way and explaining the process in an easy to understand way.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andrew and his team to anybody asking for a broker. Will be using again for my next property.

Thank you Andrew & Kirsty as well as the LHL team for all your help with helping my family refinance our home. We were able to renovate and make our home a much better place to live in, especially for our children, due to our loan going through. We have saved a lot of money doing so and only wished we found you guys when we first purchased our home. THANK YOU! ☺️

Andrew and his team were absolutely fabulous. Andrew was able to secure a better interest rate than two online brokers I had previously applied with as well as having my loan approved within one week.Online mortgage brokers, even with a pre-approved loan were still requesting more information which was exhausting/frustrating.Andrew took all the hard work out of applying and dealing with the lenders.Andrew and his team will continue to reassess my Westpac loan to ensure I am always getting the best deal.Thank you Andrew, for making purchasing my home such a professional, pleasant experience.

I was referred to Andrew and Kirsty by my brother who spoke very highly of their service. When we engaged LHL they were professional, informative and solution-seeking for our somewhat unique situation. To say they removed a LOT of the stress in seeking a loan would be a huge understatement. They were great! But the best was yet to come. Whilst we thought it would be a straight-forward process from offer through to settlement, because of our situation and complications of our own doing, it became a bit messy, but Andrew, Kirsty and the team were patient and professional throughout - even when i lost my cool at other parties (not LHL) but took out my frustrations on Andrew over the phone - he remained calm, solution-focused and patient. We can't thank LHL enough and we are so appreciative of them helping us fulfill a long-held dream. I'll recommend them to anyone i can.

Massive thanks to the team at living home loans. Andrew, Kirsty and Mel were all such a pleasure to deal with from start to finish. I had a property I really liked, but thought I was going to miss out on it due to a few problems that arose. Living home loans was recommended to me by my real estate agent and the entire process from the first call I made to them, to the approval from the bank, they were kind, hard working and very professional. Being a first home buyer can be quite overwhelming and they done a great job of simplifying it and finding a lender that would suit my needs. Couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Thanks again!

Andrew, Kirsty and their team all worked hard together over 8 months to help us find a family home in a very difficult and heated property market in Northern Rivers NSW. I experienced significant anxiety at times in navigating a field that was very new to me and with gazumping in NSW always a background threat. I thank them for taking on the challenge and always being available with advice in their honest and personable style. Persistence paid off and we got there in the end! We were recommended them and I would recommend them in turn.

I highly recommend Kirsty and Andrew from Living Home Loans! They helped right from the first phone call to realise the equity we had in one property in order to buy another. The amount of effort and work they put in has helped our young family achieve something we didn’t think was possible (and had also been told by other brokers). I am forever grateful I got in touch with Andrew on a chance phone call a couple of years ago as it has genuinely changed our lives for the better. They did all the hard work for us, thank you living home loans!!!
