James is a very upbeat and positive guy which is what you need from your broker when you are going on this adventure of buying a house. Whether you are on your first property or your thirtieth James will be with you all the way. He guided us throughout the entire process. He would explain to us very patiently everything we did not understand. He was very flexible with his time with us. Made the whole process very easy. Needless to say, he is our new favourite property broker!!

Raymond WongFirst Home Buyer
Would definitely recommend James (in fact, I have already!). I never had a problem reaching him by phone, he always responded very quickly to emails, and he gave frequent updates with me even asking. As a first home buyer, I had an abundance of stupid questions on the whole process (not just bank stuff) but he was always very patient and happy to answer them. To top it all off, he got us good rates too!

Ian PereiraFirst Home Buyer
How do I begin. Frankly, I am overwhelmed as today I received my formal approval. It's one day before the cooling off period could end. And It wouldn't have been possible without James by my side. James just wasn't a mortgage broker for me but also a guide. I could ask him silly, stupid questions without fear of being judged. Honestly, I wasn't keen on getting a loan approval. I was lazy but after meeting up with James and with the way he cleared all my doubts, I was ready to enter the Real estate market. He got my pre-approval done in 2 days and the final approval in one day after valuations. There was no time wastage on his side. He would act on stuffs instantaneously. If I ask something, he would reply quickly. If any documents need to be sent to bank, he would send it immediately. Apart from being professional, he is so friendly. A friendly mortgage broker is quite essential. I would totally recommend him.

Tony WuFirst Home Buyer
James is professional, empathetic and efficient. James has provided excellent service and made the whole mortgage process so much easy for me, being the first time to buy a property. He is very well experienced and knows inside out. He stood in my shoes and gave me options of loans from different banks, and also compared which loan is the best in my situation. I was in a situation that needed the pre-approval quickly and he just sorted out quickly. I am sure I would not have get it done without Jame's help.

Did the new year renew your clients' property ambitions?
What a difference a year makes. When we reflect on housing and lending in 2019 there is a theme of uncertainty. The property market took a downward turn, and financial institutions got hauled before the public to explain a myriad of practices that subsequently caused the regulator to impose stricter rules on investor and interest-only loans. The confluence of these two factors injected concern into the minds of buyers and borrowers. But much has changed since then and subsequently borrower sentiment and determination to enter the market has re-emerged.

Help more clients turn their financial resolutions to reality
I get an influx of clients with optimism and determination booking appointments at the start of every year. They plan to buy an investment property, or set up their children with their first property, and couples start getting serious about the first home purchase. You likely get the same sort of enquiry at the beginning of every year. Clients who have had time to reflect and plan over the festive break, and come back in January with goals. Research shows that around half of us make a New Year's resolution but only 12 per cent stick to it.
