Wow if you want a great Mortgage broker
“Wow if you want a great Mortgage broker who is kind, loyal, respectful, quick to respond, resourceful, honest, trustworthy, professional who works incredibly hard and always delivers great customer services do yourself a favour and reach out to Mel. Mel is a Mortgage broker who makes you feel supported and valued. She ensures you are invoked with every detail and explains why she is making these decisions. In my particular experience I had no idea what was going on but Mel delivered the professional kind support and knowledge to me in a way I could understand. Mel personalised my profile knowing I was away for work and used other means of communication while I was away ensuring I was up today with the steps in my home loan.Mel delivered and gained me the most in my loan and I can’t recommend Mel more to anyone else she is absolutely amazing. YOU WOULD BE SILLY IF YOU DIDN’T USE MEL! HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!”
We would not recommend anyone else
“I would like to thank Mel on behalf of my partner and myself on how amazing Mel was to deal with and accommodate our needs and help us, from getting us a great deal all the way to our day of handover and checking in after everything was settled! We would not recommend anyone else in the future.”
We had such a great experience working with Mel Petrie
“We had such a great experience working with Mel Petrie as our mortgage broker for our first home. As first-time buyers, we had so many questions, and really had no idea where to start, but Mel made the entire process feel simple and stress-free. She is incredibly personable, easy to talk to, and always took the time to explain everything clearly so we felt confident every step of the way.
Mel was also so reliable and responsive—no question was ever too small, and she was always quick to get back to us. We really felt like she had our best interests at heart and went above and beyond to find the right option for us.
We’re so grateful for her support and couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and knowledgeable mortgage broker.”
We would never go anywhere else
“We have used Mel twice now for an investment property and also owner occupied. She has become a part of the family and we would never go anywhere else. Always finds us the best options being business owners and always working on getting us a better rate behind the scenes. Highly recommend Mel!”
Mel is about as close to an angel as you’ll ever find in the mortgage world
“As a first-time home buyer, I was completely overwhelmed going into the process. but Mel somehow made everything feel simple, manageable, and even (dare I say) enjoyable. She welcomed every single question (and there were a lot!) with patience, kindness, and zero judgement.”
