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.

Is March a buyer’s month? To delay or act, that is the question
I’ve read plenty over the years about the “best time to sell” for homeowners in Australia, and that got me thinking. When’s the best time for buyers? When is the market less competitive on the bidder-front? When are prices likely to be more affordable? And how much does supply of real estate stock play a part? Is there such a thing as a buyer’s month? Turns out there is. And it’s probably now.

We’re starting later, it’s costing more - is the property dream unreachable in 2020?
Once upon a time, let’s call it the 80s, the average Australian would buy their first home at the age of 24. Here we are, three decades later, and buying property doesn’t occur until we’re 35. Why is that? Is it thanks to the price of housing in our popular cities, and the militant discipline required to save a gigantic deposit? Or is it that we’ve decided to ‘live a little’ in our twenties, choosing renting and share-housing over striving to attain our first property asset? And is property still the asset class it used to be? Let’s discuss.
