Highly recommended!
I highly recommend Russell as a mortgage broker! He helped me understand, and navigate the whole process of buying my first home. When I didn't understand something, or needed help to know what to do next, he was just a message or a phonecall away, and he went above and beyond me. Thanks do much Russell!
Russell Harrop
Russell Harrop was excellent to work with. He answered a never ending stream of questions from me at frequently inconvenient times for him I’m sure. Was patient helpful and insightful. He provided quality referrals for other people I needed to get hold of and explained processes clearly. Anyone who asks for mortgage broker recommendations I’ll put Russel’s name forward. I have put date of experience as the beginning of March as finding the right house took quite a while…
