Testimonials

Paul recently helped us secure lending to purchase a holiday home. Having always dealt direct with the bank, we quickly realised what a good decision it was to engage Paul! Paul made the whole process so simple, easy and stress free. He was also contactable, communicated clearly and quickly and was professional is every aspect. We will definitely engage Paul again in the future and will recommend him to everyone. Thanks Paul for all your help.

I would highly recommend Paul as a mortgage broker. My real estate agent put me in contact with Paul. Knowing that we had never bought a house before, and was I was nervous, we required the best help and advice to navigate the process and feel confident. Buying a house is such a big step. There is a lot of steps and process, we found Paul’s experience and guidance just made everything easier. Paul is extremely helpful, efficient, experienced, and knowledgeable. Paul provided an insight into the economy and how this was determining the interest rates in both the short and long term. Anyone seeking a mortgage broker I will be recommending Paul.

We were recommended to use Paul and we are so glad we took that recommendation! He has been amazing through our very long process of getting our loan to renovate our existing home. His patience, professionalism, advice and support has made this journey so much easier for us and can't thank him enough. He is easy to work with, always there to answer questions and nothing is ever a problem. We would recommend Paul to anyone that is wanting the best result that is available out there. Thanks for everything Paul.

We just went unconditional on our first home yesterday and are so pleased we chose Paul as our mortgage broker. He walked us through the whole process, answered all our questions and made the process of getting a mortgage so much smoother and easier than we expected! He is super helpful, communicates well, is highly responsive and easily contactable. We took a little while to decide on a house we were keen on and didn’t feel any pressure from him to jump into the housing market when we weren’t quite sure or ready. Thanks Paul for all your help and support!

Paul's knowledge and skill is second to none. He comes from a banking background and understands what the banks are wanting so he is the perfect liaison between the customer and the banks. He also went beyond the call of duty and keep working hard on reapplications (3!) to the bank when the covid world slowed the start of the build down. If you need an A1 Mortgage Adviser that you can have faith, trust and confidence then Paul is your man.
Paul Garland
This is the second time we have used Paul from HBMI. Paul helped us buy our first home and then 12 months later he helped us upgrade into a second house. He has made both times so easy by doing all the hard work for us and finding us the best option that suits our needs. Paul has been absolutely brilliant to deal with and we both highly recommend him and his firm to anyone who is looking for a honest adviser.
