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…
Awesome
Russell was a great help with the whole experience of buying our first home. He was welcoming and always available when I needed some advice which was hugely appreciated as there is no handbook to buying a house.

Came and spoke to all of us as a group and as individual couples. Showed us real figures and always came up with new solutions. Went beyond phone and email talk and physically helped us with our computer stuff. Never gave up or believing there was a way. Was kind, compassionate, listened, and shared real life. Amazing and we appreciate all Logans hard work. He challenged this situation with a positive and honest attitude. Thank you Logan your the best.

Real experience with a real person!
Russell communicated in a "Frank" way that enabled John and I to know exactly what was and what was not possible. Russell was flexible, realistic and used his networks to help us to be in the best possible position, informed, prepared and confident! We were told again and again how stressful house buying would be, but Russell made the whole experience a breeze!
