First Home purchase - mortgage broker
We recently purchased our first home and Gary Dobbs was a fantastic mortgage broker, assisting us with every step of the purchase. He was great at keeping on top of things and following up when things were delayed. It was very easy for us to also arrange our insurance through Gary also, and are now settled in and enjoying our new home.
