As absolute novices, Duane has helped make every step of our home buying journey a (relatively) stress free experience. His knowledge and experience have been invaluable, ensuring we are always appraised of whats going on, what to look out for, and what comes next. If you are a first homebuyer scratching your head, Duane is the guy to see you right through the process from day dot.

My partner and I recently worked with Duane for our home loan, and we couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. Duane made the entire mortgage process seamless and stress-free. He was responsive, knowledgeable, and guided us through each step with clarity. Would highly recommend Duane for anyone in need of a reliable and helpful mortgage broker!

Duane was very good and easy to work with through the pre-approval and mortgage application process. He kept an open and honest communication from the start, often explaining the options and processes in detail. He has a very professional and quick to action/respond manner. I was very pleased with his support through the process and will definitely advise him for others too!

We reached out to a few mortgage advisors at the start of our first-home buying process. After our initial call with Duane we felt very informed and confident about our situation - Duane took the time to explain everything thoroughly and was very responsive throughout the whole process. Furthermore, he is a tech wiz and has a fast and secure way to process information during every stage - as someone who works in IT I really appreciated these details. We went from having no idea about where to start to purchasing a dream-home within 2 months! Thank you so much we were so lucky to have reached out to you.
