I recently completed building my new home and was incredibly fortunate to have Dennis as my mortgage broker. His service was professional and efficient. Dennis worked hard to secure me a fantastic home loan and provided invaluable financial guidance throughout the process. I'm extremely grateful to have been referred to him and would highly recommend Dennis to anyone looking for a top-tier mortgage broker. He definitely deserves 5 stars

Dennis was really helpful though the whole process, not only helping me through the loan process but he gave me constructive feedback back on the houses I was considering and it it’s market value.

I have used Smartline Services previously, and have found them very professional and provide great, efficient customer service. I have used Craig Sherry in the past, but he was on leave and Dennis Smallwood was appointed to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending either of these gentleman.

Our agent Dennis Smallwood gave us excellent customer service. He was pro-active, patient and friendly. He took the time to explain the home loan process in detail, along with any concepts foreign to us. He presented a variety of good home loan options and was responsive throughout our dealings with him. I'd highly recommend Dennis and Smartline.

In brief consulting a particular service provider to somewhat resurrect my current financial status can be both daunting and a little embarrising. Not any more.Dennis covered a multitude of angles to assist me.Therefor when the time is right I will engage his services again.

With the knowledge and expertise Dennis Smallwood has, you have a slim chance of being able to get the best product to suit your needs on your own.
Don\'t risk missing out on the best deal, see the experts.

Kim and I had a difficult circumstance to get through and thought it would be almost impossible for us to get a loan of any sort to buy a house with. Dennis was always available to us and explained the entire process to us clearly and made us feel confident that we would achieve a positive result. He helped us set up a savings plan and stick to it. We reached our target with funds and were able to get a CBA investment loan for our home purchase. We are so very happy with this result and would highly recommend this service to any one uncertain about how to get started with finance for any purchase. We now feel like part of the smartline family and still have readily accessible advice on hand to further manage our investment. Warm regards Gary and Kim Kwai. Katherine NT.

From the moment my Wife & I contacted Mortgage Gallery we were pleased with the service. We went from not really thinking we had a chance to purchase our home, to believing it was possible in one day! We really appreciate the way our minds were put at ease & all pressure was taken from us instantly. There were a few problems with our credit etc. but these were sorted very quickly & we're now happily settling into our new home. I would not hesitate in recommending Dennis & the crew at Mortgage Gallery to anybody. A big thank you to Dennis & crew from Mick & Kathleen Christie. Geraldton

Dennis was sometimes hard to get as most business people are while working during the day. He was very good at returning calls fast and within 24hrs sometimes even in 30minutes to an hour with the information to answer the questions i had asked. I would strongly recommend himself and The Morgage Gallary to anyone looking for information about loans.
