We have been associated with living home loans for over 5 years now and can not speak highly enough about their professional and prompt services.We own a large renovation and extension business and always suggest our clients contact Andrew, Kirsty and the team for finance options. We have had disheartened customers who were not able to get finance through their own regular sources for renovation finance but Living Home Loans were able to offer multiple options .Thanks to the team we have had projects that seemed dead in the water revived and completed. Fantastic team fantastic results.This includes our personal projects.ThankyouAndrew and LynSmith & Sons Renovations & Extensions Tweed Heads

My partner and I were first home buys and used living home loans to help. Liah was our broker and she was an absolute amazing in providing support and advice which was particularly hopefully when dealing with real-estate agent this allowed us to get the best price that worked for us. The team was a great support throughout the whole process.

Thank you Kirsty, Andrew and your awesome team, I will be forever grateful for the 'walk in the park' you made refinancing my home. When I let Kirsty know I didn't have a Plan B, she pulled out some major stops and made Plan A work. Another 5 stars for letting me know I wasn't alone on this journey. I highly recommend Living Home Loans for their support, approachability and professionalism.

Andrew, Kirsty’s and Liah’s dedication and commitment to helping us refinance our home was invaluable. They went above and beyond some difficult hurdles and provided us with an excellent outcome. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them and have done so already. They have a compassion as brokers rarely seen to improve the lives of everyday people and provide a service that is both personal and professional.

When our previous mortgage broker left us in middle of processing building a home, we contacted Kirsty & Andrew to help us. Since the first day, they have been honest with us, very responsive, very clear with every steps and not just that they got us our dream to build a home. We thank them for getting us a loan that we asked for. Highly recommended & will always go through them for any home.

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.
