I received prompt and efficient assistance to buy a home. A scary 1st time process was made easier with Martin and Renae's service so thank you
Martin and his team exhibited a high level of professionalism. Our experience was exceptional from the refinancing process to acquiring our investment property.

Its not everyday i get a loan and i am absolutely grateful for the service i received, and i don't think i could have gotten better service anywhere else.
We have been utilising Mortgage Choice - Martin Roach for many years now. We always get a great outcome for our financing, whether it be for personal finance, business finance or SMSF lending.
Martin and his team are our family brokers. Having assisted me with both personal and finance for starting a business, Ive found the process on each occasion, stress free. Having since recommended Mortgage Choice Norwood, my daughter and partner, have had finance arranged for their 1st block of land.
Always warm and friendly, it is a pleasure dealing with Martin and his team.
I can't recommend Martin and his team at Mortgage Choice highly enough From start to finish, the service was absolutely top-notch. We were looking for the best mortgage options for both our principal place of residence and an investment property, and Martin went above and beyond to explore multiple options to secure us a well optimised package.
Martin's expertise in navigating the mortgage market, combined with his personalised approach, truly sets him and his team apart from other brokers. They took the time to explain everything clearly, ensuring we understood every step of the process.
If you're looking for a mortgage broker who will go the extra mile to find the best loan options tailored to your specific needs, Martin and his team are the ones to choose. Thanks to their dedication and knowledge, we now have a mortgage package that perfectly suits our financial goals. We wouldn't hesitate to use their services again in the future or to recommend them to anyone looking for home loans, refinancing, or any other mortgage-related services.
Amazing experience, very professional, friendly and quick to respond to all my queries. Very helpful throughout the whole process. Cant recommend enough. Thanks you Martin and Kirsty

A huge thanks again to Martin and his team. Assisting me for almost 20 years - the highs and the lows Having recently started working for myself, and a year of unexpected family responsibilities, I really didn't think I had any opportunity to purchase anything following the sale of my current home. But the team made it happen, and I couldn't be happier. THANK YOU.

Will continue using Martins services again and again, cant recommend highly enough
Working with Martin and Renae from Mortgage Choice, Norwood has been such a breath of fresh air.
We had multiple challenges at every stage of our refinance due to the complexity of our banking, the structure of our previous loans and our current personal situation. Each issue or challenge was managed with tenacity and confidence for a positive outcome - and all with the utmost of professionalism and care.
Highly recommend
Martin and his team have been amazing right from the start. I had no idea what I was doing when I first spoke to Martin last year. Martin was able to guide me through the entire process. He was very patient as I threw a barrage of questions at him and he carefully explained each step of the process.
I had previously spoken to other brokers who were very unhelpful and simply told us we couldn't afford anything. Martin's team came through for us, they found us the right lender and explained in detail everything we needed to do.
I highly recommend giving Martin a call, even if it's early days so you can be prepared to navigate the Real Estate market and land your first home.
Martin and his team provide an extremely professional, efficient and friendly service. They provide timely updates, are happy to answer any questions and explain the options and processes along the way. I have full confidence in recommending Martin to any potential home loan client. Thank you again for all your help... Kindest Regards, Kim
Martin was recommended to me by my sister back in 2020 when I needed some last minute help with loan applications and settlement on land. He took me on straight away and a few weeks later I was the proud owner of some land. Made the entire process smooth and easy for a first time buyer. Fast forward to the end of 2023, Martin must have read my mind, because he reached out just when I needed him to. The team at Mortgage Choice Norwood, were able to negotiate with the lender for a suitable refinancing option which allows me to finish off a few key items and leaves some much needed funds in the bank I look forward to working with Martin and the team again next year and the future when I hope to be the proud owner of a new vehicle. Thank you to all of you for taking the pressure off.

Martin came recommended to me by someone and I initially engaged him for some advice and options assuming we would be told we needed to go away and continue to save a larger deposit than what we already had. However, he took our info and came up with a number of achievable options. Having never bought a house before we were given some useful advice and support throughout the process, not just for the finance but during the viewing and contracting stage, and having a non-bias sounding board to answer all our questions was invaluable.
We received excellent advice and communication throughout the process and look forward to working with him again in the future. We would and have recommended Martin and his team to our friends and family.

Craig provided multiple solutions to a complex arrangement of primary residence, rental property, and debt consolidation needs.

When I first bought my house I looked at 3 brokers, Smartline were fantastic at providing the service I needed in a very professional manner. The other brokers were just too hard to deal with, didn't provide feedback and were too slow. I have refinanced my loan twice since I bought my house and Smartline have bent over backward to help me. Cheers :)
would also like to say that Mary who helps craig has been fantastic. great communication throughout the whole process. would recommend these guys to anyone. great work. very happy with the service.
Excellent service, even came out to meet me at my work to go through bank forms.
very easy to get along with and got the job done in a timely manner.
efficient service from Craig
I have utilised Smartline's services to purchase two properties and on both occasions I have been very impressed with the level of service and availability of the advisers. I would highly recommend both Karen Renton and Craig Brooks to anyone who is intending to purchase a home or investment property.
because i hadnt ever bought a home before i found it very helpfull going through smartline they made the process very easy for me
I would like to say that Craig Brooks was brilliant. Professional, easy to understand, responsive and treated me like a person rather than just a transaction. I felt that Craig took personal interest in my situation and was prepared to ensure that it was managed smoothly and easily. I'd like to congratulate Craig and to personally thank him for his assistance. Helen Bailey
Very pleased that the broker was able to negotiate $0 application fee and the loan was pushed through quickly.
As an ex-Banker and ex-mortgage broker, I set the level very high. Craig did not disappoint at all, in fact he far surpassed my expectations. We were informed from our first contact until settlement. I have recommended Craig to many of my ex clients without hesitation. Bravo!
Craig provided good advice and followed through with every aspect of the loan and we will be doing future business with Craig.
Craig Brooks has been my Personal Mortgage Adviser for several years now. Whenever I have asked Craig about any mortgage loans or general loans he has always provided the right information. No task is too hard for Craig to do. I can give an example of Craigs Commitment. Last year I had asked ANZ bank on at least 3 occasions to amalgamate two loans I had with them. Each time I asked I was denied to join the loans. A simple visit to Craig and a week later the two loans were turned into one. I was only sorry I hadn't contacted Craig earlier. Due to personal security I do not want my name mentioned in any marketing or websites. Thankyou
Craig was Fantastic, always contactable and given this was my first home and all was new to me, he was very patient and informative. He defintley made the whole process much easier which was great.
Craig has been fantastic with our recent purchace of 2 investment properties. Nothing was too hard for him and he made everything seamless and easy.
I have used other finaciers before through Mortgage Choice but found with Craig and SMARTLINE the matter was completed diligently and hassle free
Craig was absolutely wonderful. I was so impressed with his attention to detail, communication and result that within days I had already referred him onto my friends.
Mary, assistant to Craig, is very professional, thorough, and reliable. She maintains appropriate communication always and we feel a great sense of comfort and trust that Craig and Mary are looking out for our needs. Would recommend them in a heartbeat!
Craig and Mary were sensational in processing my loan application quickly and liaising with the bank to get the funds released so I could collect my car before the long weekend
Craig (and Mary) was (and has always been) friendly, accessible and quick to respond to questions that we have had whilst going through the loan process. Additionally after the loan setup Craig has assisted in getting the bank to complete the account setup correctly which is beyond what I would think was necessary - but it was appreciated. I have every intention of continuing to use Smartline for my future mortgaging requirements.
Craig does a fantastic job!
I was initially assisted by Craig Brooks two years ago and then Karen Renton most recently. I have found both advisers most professional, easy to talk to and very helpful. I can't say enough about the great service, convenience and results achieved by the Smartline mortgage advisers. I would recommend Smartline to anyone looking for mortgage advise.
I appreciated the assistance Graig Brooks gave to me and also his assistant Mary. I had gone to my bank to ask on a couple of occasions for a few loans I had to be joined together. Each time I ask the bank to join the loans I was denied. Yet a simple visit Craig Brooks, my loans are now joined together and Im finanical more secure.
Gift voucher would be nice !! I'm honest.
Very good dealing with Craige, has gone out of his way to meet me at appointments I did not have to go out of my way, which ment I did not have to take time off work to do business.
Craig and his assistant Mary are tops and have refered him to others and we would go to hime first.
The issues I face are generally the result of the banks tightened (slow) credit approvals; Craig and his team are available al the time, friendly and courteous, and I believe that the work to get the best deal for me in todays market.
I have used Craig a few times and have recommended him to clients and friends. He is great !!!!!!
Easy process - broker took care of everything. Thanks Craig
Constant follow ups. Up to date information, and options we have avaialbe to us.
Craig was a welcoming support when transferring our home loan from CBA to NAB. He took care of all the paper work and made this transition as smooth and easy as posiible.
The whole staff associated with Craig Brooks was fantastic especially Mary Romanowicz who went to great lengths on numerous occasions for us. Most appreciated.
Craig constantly kept in contact and advised at what stage the loan application was at, because as we all know, there are considerable delays in obtaining approval nowadays.
Craig was fantastic throughout the process and got us the result we wanted. Thanks Craig!
Very pleased with the service again. Craigs assistant was also most helpful in his occasional absence.
Craig was very helpful in providing us all available options and keeping us informed of the progress of our application.
craig brooks and mary delt with us this time, which is the third time we have borrowed money, and they were great which is a good thing because last time, about a year ago i did not have a high opion of your services as we were stuffed around alot, but craig and mary have done a fantastic job and put faith back in me about your company.
Craig and his colleague Mary Romanowicz were again fantastic, both being friendly and delivering great service. This is the second loan we have arranged Craig, and will very likely use again when required.
Fantastic communication from start to finish. Happy to assist with additional queries. Nothing too much trouble. Prompt efficient service all round.
Craig Brooks was easy to talk to and answered any of our questions no matter how big or small. We would have found it very difficult understanding the process and concepts without him and his knowledge.
I would like to thank Craig and Mary for all their help. They are very good at what they do and should be congratulated for being so professional. I will surely be using them again.
The customer service Craig offered me was exemplary! I have already told people about him and the wonderful service both he and Mary afforded me. VERY VERY impressed with the organisation
Fantastic all round!
Smoother experience as they have all your information.
Better understanding of your financials to provide tailored advice. 
Faster response compared to being matched with a new broker.
