John has always looked after myself, family and friends. I’ve always pushed him to deliver in a very narrow region due to my circumstances and he has never disappointed. I plan on buying more properties in future and hope that John can help me as much as he has up to this point in time. I am extremely happy with the service he has provided and will do into the future.

I cannot thank Paul Dollman enough. From beginning to end he has provided absolutely incredible service. Availability, responsiveness, and efficiency were just the foundation.

Gary was excellent. I was on holiday while setting up my lease and Gary made the whole experience simple and with no stress.

My sincere thanks to Gary.

I honestly wouldn’t change a thing. My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. John was incredible, got back to us so quickly with any questions we had if it weren’t within minutes it was hours, even if it was the weekend. We felt like we had great support throughout our whole experience which made it all so easy for us. We have already highly recommended and will continue to do so to everyone we know. Thank you for the great experience, keep doing what your doing.

I think there is something wrong with the survey- I have tried to select just the 10 for outstanding service but it highlights everything :( I have gone into the survey twice to see if the problem is at my end but it is still doing the same thing. )
the service I have had, and have always had from John Speirs is nothing short of exceptional every time which is why I will follow John and Smartline every time.
I find the extraordinarily prompt responses from Smartline (and John in particular) so exceptionally prompt and this has been a feature of Smartline since my commencement with them many years ago (after following John from another broker). I am aware he leads his team with the same ethos but more importantly is a genuine, very real person and that has become as valuable to me (and no doubt hundreds of others like me) as the service itself. I can be very challenging and I know I would not get this level of service anywhere else and John and his team go out of their way to ensure it is as seamless as possible for me, every single time. I will always support Smartline and John in particular and will continue to advocate their services at every opportunity and conversation that presents. The service is flawless but very real. PS - I wish John would go into politics - it would be an easy decision to vote for someone ethical as well as professional !

John was truly amazing. He sat down with me multiple times to explain which type of loan would be best for me while still leaving the final decision to me. He made the entire process so easy and smooth. I have already referred a friend and will be referring my brother soon too.

Gary is an absolute amazing broker. I’m probably not a normal client and always leave things to last minute and have difficult requests, nothing is ever to hard for him and No matter what time of day or night I email I can be assured a reply will be in my inbox within hours if not minutes!
He follows up car yard, buyers and just makes the transaction so easy for me - hence why I he has been the only broker in past 20yrs I would ever use!!

Karen

Gary was flawless in his advise and execution; even covering for failures by the car supplier and foilbles of my salary packaging provider.

I am trying to think of somewhere Gary could have done better. But I simply can’t.

It would be of great help if there was a list of what documents/ quotes that are required to be attached for when you are extending your house for the bank application. Rather than sending them in a couple at a time. We could then wait until we have all corresponding docs before sending so we are all not chasing documents later.

Once again John and his team have come through with the goods! I recently refinanced my mortgage with John's assistance and the speed and efficiency of this process was fantastic; the service is always personal and professional. My constant crowing about my amazing mortgage broker led to a friend of mine immediately engaging with John and the Smartline team. Look forward to seamlessly doing it all again in a couple of years!

I have and do recommend Gary\'s services to others without hesitation and the company generally as the advisers are all so professional and knowledgable.
Thank you for your assistance Gary..

We believe Paul went beyond his requirements to establish the type of loan to suit our needs but was confronted with changing of banking requirements when finalising of our loan. Paul continued to ensure that we were able to undertake our project with a loan, albeit, not the type of loan originally agreed upon by the financing bank. We are extremely grateful for the efforts that Paul went to for us.

John Speirs provided an exceptional service in his efforts to source the best housing loan offer to accommodate the conditions I needed. He was polite and helpful throughout the entire process and always available to take my calls and answer my questions at any stage. He advocated on my behalf with the other key players (lawyer, bank & real estate agency).
I would highly recommend the services of John Speirs and would have no hesitation in relying on his services again.

I am very happy with the savings being made each month and the lender I am now with.

John came to me in my home at a time that was convenient & his service was exceptional. I would recommend Smartline and John, to anyone looking at a home loan or refinancing.

Paul went the extra mile to research a suitable lender for the re-finance of our loans that really needed to cater for our particular sitiuation.

John has been our principle advisor at smart line. Once we commenced negotiations, we were handed over to Paul Dolman. While Paul is competent, I felt a little fobbed off. Johns attention to detail is outstanding, while Paul is still learning and needed to be prompted over a couple of matters.

Overall, I would promote smart line to family and friends as an Oustanding service.

Although we got the outcome we were after with Gary's help we found him very unprofessional. Fees were never mentioned in this whole process and when signing the loan docs fees were there. When we questioned him about this he said he was also unaware of the fees until then and he was hoping that we would not notice. At another stage in the process when the car yard gave us a good deal we rang to ask if he could do the same deal he was very defensive and angry and told us that he will never recommend people to go to that dealer again.

Smartline (John Speirs) Provided a great service! John met all the expectations for me as I am all new to having a Loan as it is the first loan I have applied for.

Gary was really helpful and willing to bend over backwards to help me understand what was going on and to answer a number of questions that came up. He also provided some advice on sharp practices engaged in by another vendor that the accountants at work corroborated for me. I was very happy with the service that Gary provided and the length of time that the whole process took. I particularly appreciate the pre-filled application forms!!

John was incredibly prompt throughout every step of the re-financing of our home and investment loan; our initial meeting, provision of options, advice and interest rate offer for the chosen financial institution was all provided within a matter of days. No question we asked was too ridiculous, any clarification sought was responded to patiently and respectfully. We had the utmost confidence in John to assist us in making the arrangements that would best meet our current and future requirements. We are most appreciative of the professional service that John provided and will not hesitate to recommend him and Smartline to family, friends and anyone looking for mortgage advice.

Paul took all my personal circumstances and concerns into account during the process. This is the second time I have used his services and would not go to anyone else now. I like the way he works as a mediator between parties, eventually handing the full reins over to the individual and the financial institution representative. He has earned my trust as a broker. Many thanks.

Smartline made purchasing my first property a painfree and enjoyable experience. Arranging finance for a home is so often regarded as a stressful time in one's life but John and his team made this process quite the opposite. After taking time to understand my needs they arranged an outcome that exceeded my expectations and all the while made the process very straight forward. From travelling to my workplace for signatures to ringing me genuinely excited upon the settlement of my home, I felt Smartline supported me 100% and had my best interests at heart. Since my dealings with Smartline I have raved about them to everyone and would wholeheartedly recommend their services. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future.

I have chosen to stay with John Speirs from Smartline Adelaide as I've never come across anyone in the banking world quite like him. He is always genuine, always efficient and always professional but personal. He has, due to the way he operates accummulated a team and a series of contacts who are equally as committed and genuinely helpful and I would only ever use his teams services and utilise any opportunity I get to recommend Smartline Adelaide. John & his team have deserved every and any accolade that comes their way & I couldnt speak highly enough of them. They are the average 'non banking world' person's dream as far as service excellence and being 'real' and genuine. Regards - Sandy Munro

John Speirs was recommended to us by a good friend. As we have been burnt by brokers in the past I was reluctant to go through a broker for our finacial requirements. We decided to give John Spiers a look at our needs and I have to say he made the whole process hassel free and seamless. Thank you John for all your great work.

Paul was always contactable whenever I needed him and if he didn't know the answer right away, he came back to me shortly after with an answer to my question.

I can not speak highly enough of John Speirs and the service he offered to acquire my home loan under extenuating and difficult circumstances. He went above and beyond to ensure my loan was processed despite the fact many of my circumstances were against me. A thank you is simply not enough. He is an example of what all personal mortgage advisers should aspire to.

I received an email from Brenton Rolton promoting Gary Brown and his expert knowledge in financing vehicles. I have a very trusting relationship with Brenton so I knew Gary would be someone I could trust to organise finance for my new car. Gary's advice was outstanding, I now own a better car that's been financed at a better rate. My repayments are lower and I will see a benefit come tax time. Gary attended to my needs and found a solution to saving me money and getting me into a newer car. Something the onsite dealership finance brokers couldn't offer. My two biggest purchases, a house and now car have happened thanks to Smartline. I couldn't be more pleased with their professional service and simple, clear advice.

Paul's service has been second to none. Since we are building a house, there are added complications in the home loan process, and we're grateful for the advice and support we've received from Paul. He took us through all of our options at the start of the process and was flexible when our circumstances changed. He has been readily available to answer any of our questions and has quickly dealt with any paperwork etc to ensure our house has progressed as quickly as possible. I know he has put in a lot of hours for us and we really appreciate all of his efforts!

I also did deal with Jon Speirs, who I would also give the same scores too. Both of them were absolutely wonderful to deal with. They were both very friendly, always easy to reach, and went above and beyond my expectations. I needed a really quick settlement and they did everything in their power to make the processes go as quickly and as smoothly as possible. They also have to juggle dealing with both myself and Mum. We both thought they were wonderful. And I have already recommended them to others. Great work Smartline, Paul and John :)

I spoke with both John Speirs and Paul Dollman and both were extremely professional and prompt. I have used John previously and he has always been extremely reliable and made the process exceptionally easy and swift. I have recommended him to a work colleague (whom used John's services recently to purchase his first house). My work colleague was extremely nervous to discuss borrowing money for a house from the banks himself. I suggested he speak to John Speirs ( which he did). He couldn't believe how smooth and easy John made the whole process and also said he would definitely recommend his services as well. Hope the feedback helps. Kind Regards Mick Sanders

My adviser was very approachable and was available almost all the time I needed him.

I would highly recommend my advisor to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

I am extremely thankful that there are people out there like Gary that will go that extra mile for their clients.

I was beyond appreciative of Gary's efforts in assisting me to gain a personal loan to consolidate my debts. In a difficult situation he went far and beyond what was required when the banks had previously said no.

I went to see John Spiers as a potential first home buyer and was apprehensive and nervous about the whole process. John was very understanding and informative and took care of the whole loan process. I was surprised by how simple and easy it was (from my end!) John was always available by phone or email and any questions I had were answered promptly, and any help I needed was offered quickly and professionally. John took care if all the details and I barely did a thing! I'm so glad John was recommended to me, as less than 3 months after our first meeting, I'm in my first house. I'll definitely be reccommending John to friends and family.

Myself and my partner approached Smartline for assistance with purchasing our first home together. The adviser we spoke to was very informative, very friendly and worked hard to make the daunting task of organising a home loan as relaxed and simple as possible. Throughout the process of organising the loan our Smartline adviser was constantly in contact with us, was always available when we had questions, was very prompt in responding to e-mails and having any paperwork processed and was genuinely happy to be working with us and helping us achieve our goal. We could not fault the service provided by our Smartline adviser and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends, family and colleagues.

Ashley

John was excellent though the entire process from start to finish. We took around a year to find our first home but the constant applications and reapplications didn't bother John at all. When we found the house, being first home owners we were petrified of the whole process, fearing that if we filled out the forms wrong or messed up the process we would fail to gain a home loan and thus the house. John went out of his way numerous times to help us fill in the forms, submit them to the relevant parties and put our mind at ease during a stressful time period. We feel we owe John a great deal of gratitude and have recommended him numerous times to friends and family since. Smartline have one excellent broker and overall great guy on their team :-)

There is only one minor criticism and the emphasis is on minor. John arranged our loan through ING. For both myself and my partner Cris it would have been great to do the online establishment of the accounts with John as this part of the process has created great confusion. This is more of a criticism with ING and their processes than with John at all. Both Cris and I would have no hesitation in recommending John and hence Smartline to any of our friends. When we purchase our next house/investment the first person we will contact is John.

Paul and John were absolutely brilliant, they were able to help us and look outside the square when others weren't able to deliver. The whole process was quick and nowhere near as painful as we thought it may be! Paul went over and above and stopped past our home several times throughout the process, saving us a trip into the city!! Customer service was outstanding. The result has been we have been able to stay in our home and afford our payments at a time when the situation could have been a lot worse. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Greatly appreciated the backup phone calls and emails clarifying each step of the process. John continually reiterated that he was there for us both in and out of business hours, should we ever have needed any questions answered. He has great 'people' skills and we would most cetainly recommend him to anyone requiring advice and information re a Home Loan. He is an absolute asset to the 'smartline' Company. The McInnes Family.

John was fantastic,he made the whole
process so easy,worry free with no
stress. He informed me of the whole
process and kept in touch letting me
know what to expect,I can't believe how
smooth he made everything go,I did not
have to do a thing,only give him
information to start it all rolling. I
would not hesitate to mention John and
Smartline to EVERYONE,In fact I already
am,including interstate family and
friends,If only I had John & Smartline
years ago (1st taking out loan
8yrs),knowing of you then,I could have
saved myself from so much stress and be
financially far better off. THANK YOU
ALL, REGARDS, JOY free

I would recommend John and Smartline to anyone as he took the pain out of bank loans and helped us achieve our goals. As a result we are the proud owners of a dream home and all without the stress of having to deal with the banks direct.

John was recommended to me by a friend and I would also recommend him to friends and family. John was very helpful and supportive with all the matters that needed attending to for me to refinance. I really appreciated that he kept me informed of the progress and that it was easy to contact him or if I had to leave a message he was quick to return my call.

John Made things very easy and bridged the gap between Adelaide and up here in Broome! He was able pull-off a difficult settlement in a very short period of time. Very happy with his service and wont hesitate to use him again in the future.

John was beyond excellent. In a world where customer service seems to be non-existent John has renewed my faith that it still exists. He was very thorough, explained my options, provided status updates, followed up after completion to ensure all was as anticipated. I have and will continue to recommend John to others.

I previously had a "private banker" with my former lender and I experienced constant changes in staff and little genuine effort to meet the market in terms of rate competitiveness and service. The move to Smartline and Citibank has proved amazingly refreshing in that now I get genuine service and very good and timely information. As a consequence I have retold my story to many of my clients and friends.

Gary really went above and beyond to get me the best deal. Because of my financial circumstances and what I was trying to secure funding for, I was not a simple client. Gary persisted in what must have been very trying circumstances going well above what I expected (he even picked up registration papers from the previous vehicle owner). Great job!

John Speirs is a great mortgage advisor. He is always readily available for asking questions and if we didnt understand something he explained it in 'our' terms which really helped understand the process. I have recommended him to many of my friends and family.

John was and still is the best mortgage broker we have come in to contact with over many years. He is what all advisores promise to be but almost never are. We have used him many times on a variety of many long and short term loans and he has always delivered. We will and have recommended him to others and this is something we don't like to do. I think that says it all.

I was referred to SL by Mark Gilbert, who was equally happpy with SL, whereupon I was introduced to Gary Brown - Gary exceeded my expectations in every way, was professional thorough & professional in his approach and subsequent work for our company. We look forawrd to undertaking a second tranch of finance in the New Year, with Gary Brown of Smartline and will recommend others to conatct Gary should they be seeking equipment finance.

John was recommended to us by a mutual friend, as we were complaining re the time it was taking the CBA to get things started on a property. We had already missed out on one other property because of the CBA's incompetence. We spoke to John & within 7-10 days [this time line may have been even shorter as I work away & John did a lot of the arranging with my wife] everything was sorted & we are now very happy with our new apartment, thanks to John Speirs. PS: we will use John again & have told all our friends our frustrations with the CBA & how John & Smartline helped us enormously.
