I delt with Dave Clemens on getting my first home loan. After previously being disappointed working with two other mortgage brokers though other firms Dave was head and shoulders better to work with. He helped me out emencly with work with me to buy my first home in this tricky property market on a single budget.
Thank you
Purchased home
It is with great pleasure that I write this review of Dave Clemens on behalf of my family. We we would highly recommend Dave to anyone who is considering buying home now even when the banks are limiting their approvals and criteria.
Dave Clemen's knowledge and expertise of the housing market, insurance, banking and legal requirements is vast. He also has great empathy and compassion for people. This was demonstrated in his commitmment to assist my family to purchase a home towards the end of 2021. He was very patient and assisted us every step of the way. Also he always was accessible. Trust me, he made a miracle happen.
The highlight is my elderly Mum's dream came true as she wanted to move to a warmer house. At 77 she's in our new home now and turns 78 next month. The house is warm, is in a quiet area with a garden where she can potter in and relax. She loves it and even our pets love it! Actually we all love it. It's a beautiful home, it's noise and stress free.
Prior, we lived in our home on a main road. Although we loved our old home, Mum wanted to move because it was very cold during the winter for her with noisy cars and people walking pass all hours of the day especially wee hours of the morning.
Words cannot express our deep appreciation and thanks to Dave. We owe so much to him. He definitely is a hidden gem at Mike Pero and knows his stuff. He went over and above and motivated us to keep to the goal of buying a home. We highly recommend Dave to you now and please don't leave it too late! Like I said, Dave makes miracles happen.
Finally, my family and I would like to say - all the best Dave for your year ahead at Mike Pero and my God bless you and your family. Again, thank you for everything.

100% Professional
Dave was recommended by a work colleague, and from the very first contact has been an absolute professional. Dave took the time to explain the whole process to us. He made sure that any questions we had were answered. He provided guidance, and recommendations on our finances in order to get us in the best possible position for buying a house. Communication was awesome, emails, texts and phone calls, always received a response. I have no hesitation in recommending Dave to anyone. Thankyou so much for the work you put in on our behalf. We are loving our new home. Andrew & Lorraine.
