My partner and I spent quite a lot of time researching the process of home buying. We could tell just by reading a few magazines that it wasn’t going to be easy. We sort some advice from friends that had just purchased their first home in the hope that they could point us in the right direction. That direction was Clint Bravo.

In the initial meeting– in which he happily came to us on a Saturday afternoon – Clint explained the process to us in simple terms which made us feel a lot more positive about the process. We got to concentrate on the excitement of locating our first home and left the rest up to Clint. Clint was always available to offer advice on anything from the market history in suburbs to negotiating with dreaded real estate agents. Once we had found our property and our offer was accepted we had very little to do but sign a few forms and let Clint work his magic. Thanks to Clint’s help my partner and I now own our first home and couldn’t be happier.

Thank you (Clint) for your time and effort whilst we were selling and looking to purchase. We appreciate the swift manner in which our mortgage was arranged and the minimal stress on our part given we only had a 23 settlement.
Dani and Brett, West Melbourne

I have now used Clint Bravo as my mortgage broker twice. The first time was a breeze. It was my first mortgage by myself so you can imagine how daunting things can be. With Clint’s professional advice I had no problems in getting the loan. It seemed too easy but the best way to get a mortgage. Clint came to my place of work and it was all so personal. That’s why the second time to get another mortgage there was no choice. I called Clint again.. This time was a little different and more stressful.

Clint Bravo came to our house and we were just testing the waters to see how much we could borrow.. Next thing I knew I was calling Clint to tell him we’ve found a house and putting in an offer and please go ahead with the package he had suggested for was best for us. We had to have the contract of sale signed the Friday prior to Christmas and Clint made sure we had our pre-approval in writing in time for us to sign on the dotted line. Clint even helped us the week between Christmas and New Year when most people where not available. All has worked out and that once again through the professional service that we received from Clint. I would not hesitate in recommending using Clint as your next mortgage broker or for any financial advice.

My problem was that the bank valuation came in significantly lower than what the vendor wanted for the property. As I was negotiating with the vendor and liaising with the bank (whom I’d had 2 mortgages through previously on two different properties), it was looking like I wasn’t going to buy my dream apartment in Southbank. With time and options running out I called a friend. They strongly advised me to ring Clint Bravo whom they had arranged their mortgage through and he had done an amazing job for them, even going so far as turning up at their auction to assist them with much needed support. I rang and Clint quickly took control, eliminating all my concerns in “one foul swoop” I’m now happily ensconced in my new apartment, loving city living. As an aside, the finance advice in your newsletter isn’t too bad either!

I wish to thank you for all the work you did in handling the purchase of my recent property after I was told by my current bank that I was unable to purchase another property. So not only have I purchased the property, I am looking also for another.

Clint’s overall proactive approach he took, together with his constant updates to myself and to my real agent, showed his professionalism, enthusiasm and efficiency in getting the task completed with the least amount of fuss. Furthermore, Clint’s politeness and patience only added to making our constant dialogue that much better.

The conveyancing company you suggested, which I took up, proved to be of great benefit insofar as all the necessary documentation was processed most thoroughly and efficiently. They too kept me constantly updated. I would certainly recommend Clint Bravo and the Loan Market and would not hesitate to take you up as my broker for any future property purchases.

Buying an investment property for the first time can be a daunting task, especially when you live in Japan. I really had no idea how to approach the whole task and living overseas made it seem almost impossible. After researching on the internet about bank loans I was pretty sure that I would not be able to secure a loan as I was living overseas, fluctuating exchange rates and earning Yen not Australian dollars.

I was referred to Clint Bravo by a friend who had nothing but praise for him.

I first emailed Clint in January, 2008 and explained my situation (living overseas) and that I was wanting to buy an investment property in Australia but was unsure about how to proceed. As you can imagine, I had many questions relating to the buying process and loan application process. Clint never failed to reply to my emails promptly and his answers were always clear and encouraging. I eventually bought an investment property in September, 2009. Although this was almost 2 years after my first initial email to Clint, we had regular contact (via email) over those 2 years and Clint never tired of my questions!

I feel that if I had approached the banks directly and applied for an investment loan I would have probably been unsuccessful. Clint was able to use his knowledge and experience in banking and finance to help me obtain a bank loan for an investment property, which was always my dream. I have never met Clint face to face, only through email,  but feel that he really cares about his clients and gives personal service.  Throughout our correspondence I only dealt with Clint. I think dealing with only 1 person throughout the whole application process made it much easier and I always felt reassured that I could contact Clint directly if I needed. My loan application was probably not a high amount in investment terms (under $250,000), however I always felt that I was an important client to Clint and that he always had ‘me’ in mind, not the bank.
I would not hesitate in recommending Clint to my family and friends and intend to use Clint’s services in future property investments.

I feel very fortunate that I was referred to Clint from the beginning. I think that his help and advice definitely made the difference in turning my investment dream into a reality. Thanks Clint!
