Leanne was amazing to work with and we would absolutely recommend her. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Her guidance helped us secure a loan quickly and without any fuss. She went above and beyond to help us understand the process and made sure we were getting the right mortgage for our circumstances. Thank you, Leanne. We cant wait to move into our new home

Leanne and the team were amazing at helping us refinance to carry out some renovations. The process was easy and straight forward and they provided excellent guidance throughout.
In addition, they even negotiated a rate reduction with one of our previous lenders without us even having to ask. How good is that
Very happy.

Leanne has made the stressful process of owning our first home a lot easier. From our first meeting where she broke the Mortage application down in laymans terms to providing us with unwavering support throughout gaining all the relevant paperwork and kept us calm through the anxiety of buying our first home I will actually miss our phone calls at all times when I am having doubt and now cant wait to move into our home Thanks for everyone thing Leanne

I can't thank the team at Mortgage Choice Tumbi Umbi enough for all the help they have given. I just used them for my third home purchase and they always go that extra mile to ensure everything goes smooth and stress free. I have complete faith and trust in the team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent broker. The service received by the team is always outstanding. A massive thankyou to the Mortgage Choice team, especially Leanne, for turning dreams into reality.

Leanne Dodds was exceptional.

We had a tricky situation in relation to doing a renovation to our home. Leanne completely understood what we wanted and needed to refinance and tap into our homes equity.

Long story short going directly to our now ex-bank and having to jump through hoops to refinance and utilise the equity to renovate versus speaking to Leanne over the phone and video conferencing and getting the deal done without one hoop was simply amazing.

Do I recommend Leanne in my eyes you'd be crazy to not utilise her great skill, knowledge and customer service.

My wife and I will never go through a bank directly again to finance anything.

Thanks again Leanne.

PS. Maybe one day we'll meet in person.

We found working with Mortgage choice Tumbi a very pleasant experience. They made buying our first investment property easy.
The level of service and expertise provided by Emily was faultless from start to finish. Regular and clear communication clearly stood out from the entire team. Emily was always willing to answer our questions and provided us with relevant information. John was fantastic, provided different options which made it easy for us to quickly decide on what we exactly wanted. He explained it in plain and simple math.
We felt supported throughout the entire process and are looking forward to working with them again.
We will highly recommend Mortgage Choice Tumbi Umbi to anyone looking for a loan.

I cant speak more highly of Leanne and the team at Mortgage Choice Tumbi Umbi.
All my phone calls, question, and just random what about this were answered quickly and patiently - especially being a first home buyer and having zero experience with such complex matters.
Leanne made buying my first home such an easier process, especially as this was a very short timeframe from the open house to the keys in my hand.
If youre looking for someone to help guide you through your first home buying experience, or just mortage questions, I would strongly recommend giving Leanne and the team a call.

My partner and I were first home buyers working with Leanne at mortgage choice Tumbi Umbi. From the first meeting through to the very last, Leanne went above and beyond to help us reach our goal of owning a house. She helped us understand all of the logistics involved and never once did we feel uncomfortable or a bit silly because of all the questions we had. I would highly recommend anyone looking to buy a house or even just looking for information on where to start this journey to get in touch with Mortgage choice. It was a pleasure to work with Leanne and we can't thank the team enough.

My experience of Mortgage Choice has been outstanding. The communication between myself, my husband and Leanne was wonderful, with updates whenever we needed them and an ease of contact that was above and beyond. John was professional, knowledgeable and confident in his field, giving me the impression that I was in good hands with my home loan refinancing and that I would be given the best deal. I was regretting the whole refinance, but it has been completely painless - with support provided the whole way. I would recommend John and Leanne as a wonderful team for your home loan needs. I would have no hesitation in using their service again, if required. Thank you so much, you have been wonderful!

John is very understanding of our needs. His guidance from start to finish of the loan process is very clear. In challenging times, John is always there to update the matter. He experience in his work clearly shows in these times, and has always managed to lead to positive outcome.
John is a gentleman. He is very confident in what he says because he has always made things happen for us.
