Ash is incredibly knowledgeable and patient in guiding us amateurs through our first mortgage and again for our refinance 3 years later. He provides you with all the information you need in a really clear and easy to understand fashion. Highly recommend Ash and team

Ash and his team have been professional, proactive and supportive at all stages of the house buying experience. Helping us navigate from the beginning with prompt input on variable financial and buying options through to settlement on our final purchase. Their complete approach to service has been greatly appreciated and huge comfort to us. We highly recommend Ash and his team to anyone looking to get high level expertise and support behind them when looking to take on a mortgage and purchase a house. Thank you Ash and MC team.

Ash went above and beyond helping us buy our first home. It was a long journey to get there... approximately 18mths and involving a change in jobs more than once and at the 11th hour when our pre-approval was going to expire. Ash did an outstanding job in helping us and getting a reasonable loan with terms and conditions that met our needs. Highly recommend.

Ash went above and beyond to help me and my family get our first home. But on top, he was always available to explain and often calm us down through the journey. If I could give more stars I would. Ash is the only person you need to help you secure your home.

Ash and his team at Mortgage Choice are responsive, creative and fantastic to deal with. Ash took the time to understand our needs and delivered us a choice of great products - giving us a clear understanding of our options and helping us through the process of initially finding a home loan to suit our needs and most recently on refinancing. Thanks for your brilliant service

What truly set Ash apart was his meticulous attention to detail throughout the application process. His expertise and personalized approach gave me confidence and peace of mind during what can often be a stressful process.

I couldn't be more grateful to Ash. He made the whole process of buying out home seamless and dare I say stress free. We felt comfortable and well informed, and like our best interest was always considered.

Ash is knowledgeable, experienced and thoughtful, and put everything in layman's terms - which as a first time buyer was greatly appreciated.

Thanks Ash, I'll be recommending you to everyone and anyone

Ash is an excellent broker. He's efficient, really patient, always composed and up for a challenge.

Marija

Ash is an excellent broker. He's efficient, really patient, always composed and up for a challenge, challenges I threw at him many, many times.

When my settlement day came the bank revealed they made a huge error, entirely their fault. Ash immediately went into damage control and we had the matter resolved within days.
Some call it a miracle, I call it Ash just doing what he does best.

I cannot recommend him enough but I will be and have been to everyone I know.

Ash helped my son with loan application a year ago and I called on him to this year to help me refinance my loan. He was a professional and responded to questions quickly and always kept me informed. His knowledge and expertise was most helpful as I would not have had the time or energy to arrange a refinance. it took the burden off my shoulders knowing that the process, documentation and settlement were all in order. Thanks Ash.

I was recommended to Ash through word of mouth.
Ash was an invaluable asset to my home buying journey from our first discussion to the settlement of the property.
From his approachability, ensuring I ticked all the boxes for a mortgage and explaining everything in layman terms, I have felt informed every step of the way.
His availability has been at the forefront of his service and I would highly recommend his services.
Thank you Ash!

I was recommended to Ash by a close friend. If anyone is looking for a professional, personable, patient, knowledgable and reliable broker Ash is the one for you. He patiently walked me through each step of the process, explaining in detail what was required and why. He also answered my never ending questions and managed to get my loan formally approved within a few days, just before Christmas.

I was recommended to Ash and Smartline by my sister and he exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend to anyone else who is looking for a professional, responsive and knowledgeable broker. He has made this process seamless, always updating me with the status and would make complex terms simple to understand. We managed to complete a 30 day settlement in the middle of a pandemic right before Christmas which is a massive achievement. Thank you Ash, it has been a pleasure working with you!

With Ash's experience, everything ran so smoothly, painless, easy and exactly as expected.
We highly recommend Ash since with him you know that you have found a winning mortgage broker.

Ash from Smartline was amazing. Where all other mortgage brokers failed, Ash rose to the occasion and provided incredible service the whole way through. Such service is almost impossible to come by these days, especially in financial services

Why aren't there more stars... Could not recommend Ash more highly. From our initial discussion through to settlement Ash was always responsive, knowledgeable and had our best interest at heart. He asked questions to understand our needs and then delivered what we wanted.
He communicated extremely well through the entire process via email, phone and text (whatever suited us) and always told us what to expect next and recapped what had been recommended and agreed.
In what is a confusing, daunting, drawn out (due to the banks) and stressful process he was by our side. Thanks Ash - you are more than 5 stars in our eyes.

Ash was well versed on the different products and understood what I needed and the best product options. He was friendly throughout, professional and a pleasure to deal with.

Samuel

I can't fault the service Ash provided in any way:

He explained all of the different options available to us (we didn't have a great knowledge of the process we were undertaking- and he really made it easy for us to get our head around everything) and then helped us pick the right one for us. He regularly kept us up to date and was always friendly and responsive when we had more questions.. Even after everything was completed- he checked in on us to see how we were going in the new house and we really got the feeling he cared about us throughout the process.

I would recommend Ash in a heartbeat.

Robert

Ash is an amazing mortgage broker! Being a first homebuyer Ash was so helpful throughout the process of getting our mortgage, he answered any question we had and would always be available when we called. Ash took the time to explain all of our options to us and found the perfect loan to suit us. I highly recommend Ash to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

My experience with my Adviser was absolutely amazing... My daughter set up contact with him and he kept both my daughter and myself completely informed at all times. he was contactable at all times and never hesitated to go beyond to help us. I would 100% recommend Ash Dalla Lana to any of my friends. In fact I have recently recommended him to my Nephew, who is looking at buying his first home. Personally I could not give Ash enough praise for his absolute professional manner and at the same time allowing me to feel like I really mattered. Something very rare these days in the world of money. Cheers... Carol

Ashley Dalla Lana is the consummate professional to deal with. We went through a long and exhaustive settlement process before receiving finance on our home. Ash was there every step of the way to help us and the process above expectations. It certainly would of been more difficult without Ash's professional support and friendship. Anyone considering financial advice would be hindering themselves without enlisting Ashley's professional knowledge, commitment and support.

Ash made things happen, understood my requirements, slotted into my time pressures and got me an excellent deal. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a home loan or refinancing.
