I will always scream from the roof tops about customer service!! Especially if it is a brilliant experience...

One of the most exciting times in our lives is buying a house and one of the less exciting tasks is looking for a loan and ensuring we have the best rate and the best advice. In my case I was looking to save some dollars on my existing loan without the process being too painful and taking up too much time. I had a big win with Simon O’Kelly. A simple process and a terrific outcome which give me additional dollars in my pocket and I can sleep easy knowing I am not being ripped off and I have additional funds for a sizable contribution towards a holiday!! Thanks heaps Simon, cannot rave enough about your simple and professional process. Glenyce Johnson, Melbourne VIC

He knows that buying a home can be really tough – especially for first-home buyers. But with 20 years’ customer experience, a strong financial background, and 3 decades of local knowledge, Simon is perfectly placed to help make it easy, and save you a bundle. I have recently purchased my first home which wouldn't have been possible without Simon’s expert assistance with selecting and organising an appropriate Mortgage. Simon is extremely knowledgeable and was readily available and willing to help with my multitude of questions. He made a stressful process streamlined and comfortable and I will be forever grateful to him for enabling me to purchase my first property with such ease. Brock Conley December 2013

He believes in a simple, collaborative approach – working with you to find the best finance for your needs. So you only have to worry about finding the right home. Our experience with Simon O'Kelly has been invaluable. We had limited time in which to obtain a loan and bad credit issues to deal with. I felt like Simon was holding our hand the entire process as he explained everything to us and continually checked in with us, making us feel entirely comfortable during one of the most stressful times of our lives. We would highly recommend Simon O'Kelly as a broker, and can't thank him enough for helping us secure a great deal and amazing house! Yvonne Hall, VIC

Simon took the time to find out what my wife and I needed from a home loan. He gave us time to consider the available options and made the process of refinancing a breeze. We were after lower repayments, Simon certainly got us there. Tom Connor

Thank you Simon for finding and organising the right loan for us. Your professionalism and knowledge in this field made the process so easy and stress free. We would highly recommend Simon O'Kelly as a mortgage broker to friends and family. Thanks again Simon. Tania & Wayne McCraw

Take some time this weekend to slow down, step away from the noise, and get outside if you can. A walk through a park or the bush can do more for your mindset than you might expect.

While you are thinking about the bigger picture, it is worth remembering that by working with us you are also supporting 1% for the Planet (as we make donations to the Climate Council and Environment Victoria as part of our commitment), directly contributing to environmental initiatives that help with the energy transition taking place and projects aimed to improve the waterways like the Murray!

A calmer mind, a clearer plan, and a positive impact beyond your own home.
