Jonathan Lee and Jess Watson have been fantastic in helping me get accustomed with the fundamentals of home loans, developing a bespoke strategy and securing a great pre-approval. Always available and friendly in answering questions and processing documents. Highly recommended - many thanks to you both

Mark Shaw and Monica C Mort are two amazing mortgage professionals you will want on your property investment team. They recently helped us refinance and provided an A class service throughout the whole process. I will be a repeat customer and would highly recommend contacting them if you are looking to build a property portfolio.

Mark, Monica and Georgia were very fast to respond to messages, extremely helpful putting in the application and really did find the best option for our refinance which I also researched myself and came to the same conclusion. Mark really knows what he is talking about and I will definitely be going back when I refinance again or buy another property.

Mark Shaw and Monica were a great team to work with — prompt, reliable and most importantly kind. Refinancing or getting a loan can be quite intimidating and Mark and Monica were very patient with any questions I had, no questions were too silly to ask. Mark also gave me a couple of contacts for other professionals I was looking to help manage my property. My loan application process was smooth and successful with Mark’s kind advise and guidance. Great to see he is continuing Steven’s legacy (the last broker who ran this Chatswood branch who was also a kind and helpful broker to work with). I highly recommend enlisting Mark and his team.

Thank you Steve and Monica for making my first home purchase such a breeze
Steve is an absolute professional and his friendly nature helped take the stress out of obtaining my first home loan. He really took the time to understand my circumstances and explain every step of the process in order to provide sound recommendations for loan options. In the end, Steve was able to lock in an amazing rate for me and went above and beyond to progress my application as quickly as possible through the lender.
Monica was also a pleasure to deal with, and her prompt communications kept everything moving along seamlessly. All documentation was able to be completed online which made the process easy and efficient.
Top class service at every step of the way I would not hesitate in recommending Steve and the Mortgage Choice Chatswood team to my family, friends and colleagues.

Steven took the time to evaluate every aspect of my needs to ensure I felt comfortable and didnt let me leave the office until this was the case. He takes tremendous pride in getting the best and I mean best outcome for me and his clients and this is shown by his professional yet friendly nature. It was as if I was a family member and its rare these days to have such superior service. Monica, was lovely and assisted me immensely as well and even addressing my annoying queries so I appreciated her assistance.
I will no doubt be using Stevens service again and again and I will encourage my friends and colleagues to do the same even my family members as well. Reason being, he actually cares This was a very easy review to write

We recently made our first property investment and we are grateful to Steven and his team for looking after us so well during that process. He was able to explain the whole process to us is a very professional and clear way and we are very happy with how it all went. Steven was able to provide us with the support we needed and managed to get everything done very efficiently, adapting his working methods in no time during the recent Sydney lockdown period.

We had a complex property purchase situation and we really appreciated Steven and Monica's guidance and responsiveness to get the deal across the line - particularly with urgent phone calls and emails outside of office hours.

We had an amazing experience buying our first home with Steve and Monica. Steve was professional, efficient, friendly and checked in with us every step of the process. We are so happy with the mortgage we have, after Steve walked us through our options and gave unbiased advice on all lenders. Monica was quick to respond to any queries and answer our questions.

I recently used Steve and his team for the purchase of a new home. It took me a while to find the right property but Steve was professional, patient and always quick to respond to my emails.

I was referred to Steven Monica at a fairly late and critical stage in the loan approval process. Regardless, they jumped on readily and willingly and worked tirelessly to make sure I got everything over the line in time for settlement.
I am so thankful for their help, understanding and dedication in working through a tricky situation with a ridiculously short deadline looming overhead It would not have been possible without them.
Steven is incredibly thorough, hardworking and meticulous in his approach. He took the time to explain everything and made considerable efforts to ensure I understood all aspects of the process and to alleviate any concerns I was having.
Monica was also extremely proactive in chasing down the banks and providing me with updates, documents, details and everything I'd need to make sure everything was approved in a speedy fashion.
It was a pleasure to work with Steven and Monica and I would be happy to work with them again and recommend their services to anyoneeveryone
From the outset, it is evident that they are a team you can feel comfortable to trust.

Buying your first home with no previous experience in the property and financing market is a challenge. Steve is an experienced, professional and knowledgeable broker. He made the whole process easy with his personal approach. I highly recommend Steve and Monica. Thank you

I have been a loyal customer of Mortgage Choice since I have met Steven over 5 years ago at the old office at HELP street and he made the journey towards home ownership made simple. I only went to Mortgage Choice after I visited a Bank West branch in Chatswood and bank staff was not helpful with the rate and we managed to secure a great rate with NAB through Steven for our first home loan.
Monica has also made the process of closing the loan out easier with regular updates and checked in yearly with us about the loan. The key is to ask questions. I have asked many questions and Steve always provide answers that allow me to make informed decisions. I have just gone through another refinance with them and I am sure I will stay with them for future dealings.
Thanks again Steve and Monica and keep up the good work.

Steven really gave us clear information and very professional since the very beginning, we had some uncertainties on FHOG application recently and he went all the way in managing it to get the grant in time for settlement. Will use his service again if we have another chance. And also would be happy to give recommendation to friends or family. Monica is also very thorough with the application process and giving us timely responses and notifications. Excellent service overall, great team.

My husband and I consider ourselves very lucky to have found Steven to help us through the stressful journey of buying our new property. It had been 18 years since we had gone down this path and Steven was always there to answer any questions we had. We had problems with our conveyancer and Steven went above and beyond to help rectify this for us. Steven goes the extra mile to assist his clients. His customer service and knowledge are exceptional. He is always available to take your calls and his communication about what is happening at every stage is outstanding. He is also ethical, honest and just a down right nice guy.
I would not hesitate to recommend Steven to anyone looking for a mortgage broker to help them on what can be a confusing and stressful time. He makes it all just that little bit easier. Thanks so very much Steven.

I've used Steve at Mortgage Choice Chatswood twice, once to remortgage my home and just recently to purchase a new home. His expertise and advice ensured everything went smoothly and he and Monica stepped us through everything and guided us carefully through the whole process.

Steven provided exceptional service. He took me through the process step by step in helping me to purchase my first home. He researched various options that were suitable to my specific needs and displayed a high level of attention to detail to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

Brilliant, honest, ethical service from Steve and his team. They make sure they understand your needs and the home-lender they selected that was a good match with me totally surprised me as it was not a home-lender I would have ever thought of approaching to refinance my loan. There were other benefits too, not just the better interest rate.
Thank you Steve, Monica and team for making the whole process so easy and amazingly quick I really appreciate it.

Steve is an outstanding professional who takes the time to understand his clients needs and provide them with the right advice to meet their needs. I found Steve to be very thorough, efficient and practical when it came to providing solutions to meet our complex needs. As we are currently overseas, Steve made himself available at our convenience which we really appreciated. Without doubt, I know that we would not have been able to purchase our property without Steve. I would not hesitate to recommend Steve and his team to anyone considering obtaining a mortgage. Thank you Steve

Steve recently helped with obtaining a home loan for my partner and I. Being a small business owner with fluctuating income, our choices for lending were limited but Steve knew the policies of the lenders we could qualify with straight away without having to put in multiple applications with several lenders, saving us the time and also being able to advise our realistic lending position quickly, enabling us to secure our new home in the timeframe we needed to move on. Steve is someone I will be and have been recommending my family and friends call as soon as they are considering purchasing property.

David

Referred to Steve and we put 100 trust into him to get the right product for us on a very tight timeframe. Steve and Monica from his team kept us informed throughout the process and even did some work across a couple of weekends to ensure we had everything in place before settlement. If we have any mortgage related queries Steve and the team will be the team I think of.

Steve recently assisted in obtaining a home loan for me with an extremely competitive rate. As is the case with most people, time is precious and I needed someone I could trust who would cut through the fluff and get to the point on the critical elements of the pre-approvalapproval process and home loan fine details Steve is that person.
He took the time to listen and understand my circumstances lifestyle, presenting me with a number of options from which I could choose. Steve not only thinks of your immediate requirement, he also considers various long term scenarios when drafting options.
Steve is down to earth, approachable, experienced, very reliable and always available to assist with any queries no matter how silly the query or provide advice, I definitely consider him a trusted advisor.
In many ways Steve is a one stop shop for anyone looking to break into or continue to expand their property portfolio. Having built an exceptional network of property advisorsservices, who he happily recommends when he thinks they may be able to assist andor remove some of the stress of one of the most important milestones in anyones life.
I used a few of Steves service partners and knew that if Steve recommended them I could put my trust in them to help secure my dream home and boy did they all deliver I couldnt be happier with the end result.
It was an absolute please working with Steve, he made the entire process stress free and seamless, an efficient and very professional service. I would not hesitate in recommending Steve to family, friends and colleagues.

Steve is a force of nature and definitely the right person to speak to when it comes to buying a home. Just one conversation with the guy and you'll realise he's less of a mortgage broker but rather just a good friend looking out for your best interests.

I met Steven a few years ago and remember him as an extremely down-to-earth and friendly mortgage broker. When I decided to purchase a place this year I thought I'd get in touch with him. I felt reassured after our first meeting that I would be comfortable working with him since he used layman terms and was extremely patient. The rest of the process then fell in place easily.
Steven is honest, highly efficient, always keen to help and doesn't mind answering stupid questions. He moved really fast with the paperwork for my mortgage application as well as liaising with the bank. He also worked really hard to get me a better interest rate discount I especially like that he and his assistant kept me posted frequently on the progress.
Besides the above I chose to turn to Steven for other contacts I needed to set up my financial plan and other matters for my first home. The people he recommended are honest and down-to-earth as well. It has been a pleasure and relief working with a group of people that has got high integrity and work ethnics.
I am now living in my new home and am extremely pleased. I'd highly recommend Steven's service to anyone who needs a broker they can trust and communicate with easily.

My wife and I are seasoned property investors, both locally and overseas. Our mortgage broker Steve Dal Molin therefore had a relatively easy start as we already had most if not all information he needed to get the loan application going. Unfortunately we used a bank which was so disjointed and so disorganised that the entire loan process was a nightmare for us and Steve.
We ended up missing out on one property entirely due to the lender's delays, and could well have lost our current property if not for the stellar work done by Steve, above and beyond what would be expected from most brokers. Steve worked tirelessly on our case, escalating the issue through various levels of the bank, even contacting a regional manager at one stage.
In our experience, most mortgage brokers even some bank managers, other than providing basic additional assistance, would have shrugged their shoulders and told us that we have to wait for the bank to sort itself out, or at least told us to abide by the timeframes the bank gave us to resolve their issues. Luckily for us Steve didn't fit into this category.
We are now living in our dream home, and can comfortably say that this would not be the case if not for the tireless work done by Steve on our behalf.
