My partner I had a highly positive experience with Mortgage Choice Coffs Harbour. The team demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise in the mortgage sector. They took the time to thoroughly assess our financial situation and provided tailored loan options that suited our needs. Their responsiveness and willingness to address any questions we had throughout the process were particularly commendable. I would highly recommend Mortgage Choice Coffs Harbour for anyone seeking knowledgeable and reliable mortgage advice in the area.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Duane and Louise from Mortgage Choice. From our very first meeting, it was evident that Duane is a dedicated and knowledgeable broker, who took the time to understand our needs and guide us through the mortgage process seamlessly. We were looking for a quick home loan application and Duane's reassurance and expertise made the mortgage process easy and stress-free.
Throughout the journey, Louise was fantastic and incredibly responsive, always answering our questions promptly and thoroughly. We were also able to secure an excellent interest rate that exceeded our expectations. If youre looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely cares about their clients and delivers exceptional service, then look no further Highly recommend

I have had very satisfactory experience with Mortgage Choice Coffs Harbour office. My broker was Duane, he helped me alot during the whole process of buying my first home as I am very busy working professional. He is very experienced in his field , he made the whole process very understandable and clear for me. Louise also helped me alot with assisting me with the enormous amount of paperwork, so I am very happy with the service I have received and the people I have worked with. They have almost done everything for me while I was continuing whatever I normally do. I can't thank them enough for their hard work and working around my busy schedule, I would not be able to do this without their assistance. Thanks to Mortgage Cohoice company and their teams for turning my homebuying dream to the reality.
Cheers

I've used Duane's services at Mortgage Choice 3x now. Purchasing the most recent property was difficult with banks the lending criteria being so very strict now. There is no way we would've gotten a loan for the amount we needed and at a fantastic low interest rate had it not been for Duane's experience, professionalism, determination and problem solving abilities. I highly recommend his service. Mortgage Choice has a great representative in him. We're so happy to have gotten the home we have. Thanks Duane

Duane and his team are exceptional at what they do As young first home buyers who knew VERY little, Duane was extremely helpful in explaining everything to us in a way we understood. Duane was always reachable and there when we had any questions big or small. It was an absolute pleasure going through our first home buying experience with the morgage choice crew and I would without a doubt recommend them

My wife and I just purchased a house and we worked with Duane and his staff at Mortgage Choice. We have never used a mortgage broker before, we have always dealt with the banks directly. After working Duane, he made the process so seamless and easy. We would never use anyone but the Coffs Mortgage Choice office in the future.They were extremely professional and gave us several options to secure a better deal than we could have secured ourselves by dealing with the banks directly.

Absolutely brilliant
This is not the first time I have had the pleasure of dealing with Mortgage Choice, as I have been a valued customer for a number of years now.
Both Duane and Louise, as well as all other staff at MC Coffs Harbour, have made my experience a most pleasant one. Their professionalism, competence and willingness to answer my many questions - taking the time to explain everything clearly and exhaustively - are simply outstanding. Whether it was through a courtesy call to check how everything was progressing, a meeting they made happen with very short notice, or their personable and friendly manner, the whole team at MC Coffs Harbour went above and beyond.
A team of professionals with the expert advice all customers seek, and that extra care that makes all the difference.
A most positive experience indeed

The mortgage choice team has exceeded our expectations providing excellent customer service, knowledgeable recommendations and education on what to look put for when finding a mortgage. We were first home buyers with limited knowledge about the Australian mortgage system. Duane talked us through everything, there were no silly questions, and he made me feel like nothing was too much trouble. We interacted with the rest of the team, they were always professional and answered countless questions. With their help we got a mortgage right for us that was low stress and hassle free. Their insurance recommendations also helped us save money. Thank you Duane and the mortgage choice team.

Duane and Melissa worked with me very very detailed, tirelessly and consistently from day one to the end. The moment I walked into Mortgage choice office, I knew I wouldn't need to inquire elsewhere for my home loan. Duane and his team are absolutely respectful, knowledgeable, have your best interest at heart, very importantly, they make it seamlessly easy. I was so spoilt with not having to do significant paper work. No words can fully describe my wonderful experience with Mortgage choice.....I am grateful and I very highly recommend them.

I was super-impressed with the response time from my initial rather vague enquiry. Duane was friendly, efficient, empathetic and, above all, knowledgeable. Its not often you cross paths with someone willing to forego the chance of earning guaranteed commission in favour of offering solid advice to a new customer to resist the temptation of refinancing. Thank you Duane.

Duane made, what I deem the daunting task of re-mortgaging incredibly easy. A short conversation gave him the understanding of exactly what we needed. After not too long he replied with his top 5 choices and all of these presented savings compared to our current package. When asking for advice the language used was jargon free, clear and simple which allowed us to make a considered decision. Duane did all the heavy lifting for changing our mortgage from the old lender to the new.
Overall it was a seamless process and effortless to work with Mortgage Choice Coffs Harbour.

My recent experience with Mortgage Choice was extremely positive and I highly recommend him.
From the very first time I spoke with Duane over the phone, I felt very confident I had found the right mortgage broker. He took the time to talk me through the process and to answer all my questions. From that initial conversation, I then went to see him at his office and found him very approachable and competent throughout the subsequent meetings. Once the purchase was finalised, he kept in contact with me, regularly checking how everything was going.
