All of the team were exceptional. Rhiannon and Bianca were key in guiding me through the process of applying for my first real mortgage. They were attentive, quick to communicate and extremely proactive when any additional documents were requested. I really appreciated how personable Rhiannon and Bianca were, I really felt like a duck out of water at the start of the process, and they help my hand through it all. I couldn't recommend Mortgage Choice highly enough

Both Bianca and Peter were extremely helpful throughout the whole process of applying for a loan. They thoroughly explained the process from start to finish and always kept us in the loop. The information and advice they provided was invaluable especially as a first home buyer going through this process for the first time. Could not recommend them enough

Our service from Peter was truely outstanding! With Peter’s guidance expertise, our home loan search and application process was very smooth and stress free. What would normally be considered one of the most stressful parts about buying a house was a breeze for us with Peter’s guidance. We are very thankful for Peter and the team for all of their support and assistance through this process. Peter was readily available to chat in person or via the phone or email when needed, and was always super friendly and eager to help. Thank you so much!

Peter and his team at Mortgage Choice Woodend were extremely helpful with our financing needs for a recent new home build. They were professional and took the time to explain everything in detail so we knew what we were doing and how it was going to work. They sorted all the paperwork and managed our progress claims for our builder reducing the stress of the whole process considerably. We can highly recommend them from our experience and we thank Peter and Nicole for their fantastic service and attention.

After discovering our loan application was not going to be as straightfoward as we initially thought, we came to Mortgage Choice with a tight deadline. Our enquiry received instant response from Nicole. She presented multiple lending options to accommodate our needs. Thanks to Nicole and Mortgage Choice we have just moved into our new family home.

During such unprecedented times our bank wouldnt consider lending to us, however we really wanted to invest in the property we found. Peter was happy to take on the work and with the help of Nicole they got the loan through. We were very impressed with the professionalism. Highly recommend their services.

The whole process was so easy for me, which was a big help as I'm very time poor. The communication was fantastic and I really loved the computer program that showed exactly what we could do. Visual aids are such a help for me as I'm a little scared of financial things.

J. Andrew & C. Rose

I must say, the ease of the whole process surprised us. Peter is wonderful to deal with couldn’t be more helpful. Very smooth once the loan was approved and settled, right through to dealing with the bank branch.

I was so glad I touched base with Nic about my loan after being let down by my "normal" bank. Not only did she secure me a loan, it was all done with a smile & reassurance. Would highly recommend :)

I've been continually impressed not only with Peter, but all Mortgage Choice staff I have dealt with. The entire team displayed excellent knowledge, were extremely proactive with communication and really just made the entire process much more pleasurable than I was anticipating. My discussions with Peter made it clear that he had a genuine interest in not only his work, but also his clientele. I will be engaging Peter and his team for any future mortgage requirements I may have.

Peter and his team were a great help in initially giving advice and options when setting up a new mortgage, even getting us a discount on an existing mortgage before engaging fully as a customer. When it came to setting up a new loan, they were no end of help with our (countless...) questions on numbers and logistics.

Sam Bartlett

Peter has handled a few of our home loans now and each and every time we have been extremely happy with his service. He is exceptionally professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone wanting any sort of loan service.

From our very first initial contact right through to settlement, the team at Mortgage Choice Bendigo were nothing short of outstanding.

From day one, I felt you did a great job in making me feel secure and confident that you were looking after all sides of my loan application. Also I felt you cared about my situation and communicated clearly via emails and mobile with updates on how the application was travelling and were always helpful with any inquiries that I made. Thanks Nicole, good job well done.

C. Davis

Extremely happy with our service from Peter. Both Peter and Nicole were only a phone call away any day (including a long weekend). And answered every question, even if we asked the same thing three times.

As first home buyers we felt supported by Peter during every step of the process of buying our new home. Peter communicated with the real estate agent for us during the contract signing and also kept in close contact with our conveyancer to ensure everything went smoothly.

We have already recommended Peter to our friends and we were recommended to him by our family. Thank you, Peter, you made buying our dream home a reality.

Would highly recommend Peter and Nicole to anyone. They worked hard to get me the money to buy my sister out of a jointly owned property and Nicole kept me posted all the way through. It was like I told them what I wanted and the rest just happened.

The service provided by Peter Machell was exceptional. He took the hassle out of the lengthy process of applying for and completing the loan, answered many phone calls to do with my questions as a first-time home buyer, and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone needing any sort of loan.

T. Hopkins
16 December 2017  

 

 

Peter Machell went out of his way to help and added value all the way through our mortgage selection process. My wife and I were shown the best options for our situation, selected the best deal available, and once decided, Peter enabled a seamless, simple and efficient experience. I would gladly refer Peter to my friends and family. We've used Peter for three mortgages (two separate home purchases and one loan refinance) and plan to use his services again.

This is the second mortgage that Peter has organised for us. We had no hesitation in approaching him again for this loan and will do so again for any future needs. Peter was able to secure suitable finance for us at rates that we were unable to find ourselves.

Mr Scherer

It has been wonderful to have Peter on our side throughout the process of planning, designing and now building our new home. His responses to our many queries have always been prompt, clearly explained and accurate. He has been understanding and helpful with the changes, challenges and delays to our project. We've really appreciated his good humour and care in assisting us to realise our dream and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to our friends and family.

As a first home buyer, I was initially very daunted and overwhelmed by the thought of acquiring a loan, but thank goodness for Peter and Nicole. They were very understanding, informative and efficient at answering all of my questions. The overall process was very smooth and I didn't feel out of my depth at all. I couldn't recommend them highly enough - they were brilliant!

Peter and especially Nicole, who we mainly dealt with, were very professional in their approach, often going beyond what we expected. This in turn made the process easier. They both replied to our questions promptly, guided us through the paperwork and even collected the signed forms in person. Thanks again Nicole and Peter.
