We're self-employed and have had some shaky books over the last few years (bushfires, covid, etc, etc). As a young couple who have been working tirelessly to save, we knew we were ready but didn't feel we could communicate our unique self-employed situation to the banks. We had recently had two kids, were exhausted, and we couldn't imagine going in to bat alone. After speaking with a previous broker, we were left feeling very far away from ever being home owners. Soon after, we met Greg and were looking at options. His nuanced knowledge of the expecations and requirements of each lender and the steps we had to take to prepare, meant we were able to find a pathway that made sense to us – and to the banks! We felt we were small-fry, but Greg was nurturing and gave us a sense of validation, acknowledging that owning our own home was just as big for us, as for anyone purchasing at a greater value. Greg has become a trusted friend who's advice and guidance throughout this process has been not only professional, responsive and accurate, but absolutely essential to making this happen. I write this from the dining table in our new home. Thanks Greg. We couldn't have done it without you!
