I went into this in a bit of a rush, having been putting it off to the last minute. But a phone conversation, followed by a video call and follow up visit, from. 'Mike', my advisor, helped put my mind at ease over the whole situation. He was patient, attentive and knowledgeable, listening to my fears, hopes and aspirations, and taking full notice of my needs. explaining everything in a way I understood. Eventually after a few more conversations, a plan was agreed, and put into action. He made the whole process simple for me, something I was very happy about, and thankful. So if I was asked if I would recommend this service, then it would be a definite 'Yes'.

Mather & Murray Financial helped me with my first mortgage, thought out the process they went out of their way to ensure everything went smoothly. My mortgage broker Sherril Moore contacted me after work hours to help arrange my mortgage offer and would routinely update me when there was a change to interest rates to ensure I had the best mortgage offer I could. I would highly recommend using Mather & Murray Financial for arranging a mortgage. Update: I have since used Sherril at Mather & Murray to do a Further Advance to my mortgage, once again it was a painless and quick process. Sherril quickly responded to my initial request and after a few emails exchanges and a phone call the application was ready. I was over the moon with the service provided by Sherril and Mather & Murray.

Response from the owner:Thanks for your review Isaac. We're really pleased you are happy with the service and advice you received from Sherril.
