Reviews from clients who've worked with James on home purchases, refinancing and investment property finance.
"I did my research with all the large banks before committing to BVHL and none of them could go close to the mortgage loan rate offered. The real estate agent mentioned she'd never seen any mortgage broker move as quickly and efficiently as James had."
"James was excellent at coordinating and managing the whole purchasing process. He was very persistent and proactive with real estate agents, conveyancers and the banks. He created a real sense immediately that he was in our corner."
"We purchased an investment property in the last month. The entire process from application through to settlement was exceptionally well managed and communication was brilliant. James had a genuine interest in our journey and made himself completely available at any time."
"I couldn't recommend James Sterndale-Smith enough. He has made this whole process of purchasing our new home so easy and stress free. James kept us informed all the way from the application stage through to exchange, even called us personally to congratulate us on our new purchase."
"James from Better View Home Loans in Lane Cove was amazing to deal with and secured us a fantastic rate. With James' help we were able to refinance our investment property and quickly secure our new home with ease. The service was really personalised."
