Margaret was fantastic, helped guide us through the whole process from deciding the best bank for us to recommending a great conveyancer. Everything felt clear, simple and low stress and we found a home we love

Honestly I heard great things about going with a broker so decided to go down that path. Took 3 months from application to settlement to re-finance my home. Went with CBA for new loan and only took 1 day to get approved. Won't use smartline again.

Margaret was fantastic. She was very knowledgeable and got our loan across the line in a timely manner and kept us informed along the way. I work in finance and wish we had more people like her in our organisation. She was also very knowledgeable in relation to the post approval process and picked up on errors from the vendors solicitor that would have delayed our settlement without her action. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.

We cannot recommend Margey highly enough. We have used her service 3 times now and she makes the whole process so easy and hassle free. Margey takes the time to really work out the best value home load for your needs and she constantly updates you along the way. Each and every time we have used her services she has managed to save us money and who doesn't want that? If you are having any doubts about using a mortgage broker then don't as Margey will exceed all of your expectations I can assure you.

We found Margaret super helpful and always available to answer our questions, even late at night and when she was away on a long weekend which we couldn’t be grateful enough for seeing as we were first home buyers and knew next to nothing. Would definitely recommend Margaret to anyone we know who are trying to buy their home. Thanks again Margaret!

We cannot thank Margaret enough for her commitment, her patience, her ability to find a loan that would work for us. It was not easy and many other brokers would have given up very quickly. Not Margaret. We highly recommend Margaret as a diligent, expert in her field. Thank you again, Margaret, for all your help.

Margaret was so helpful throughout the whole process and made it all quite painless. I don\'t know why anyone would not use a mortgage broker.
Margaret was available at basically any time to suit us, she was professional and personable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

Margaret took time to understand our needs and to work through the complexity of our income streams to recommend the best loan for us. When it came time for applying for the loan, again Margaret made the whole process for us very easy, even when the bank came back with further requests. I would have not hesitation in recommending Margaret to family friends - anyone!

Would like to give a huge thank you to Margaret Godfrey from Smartline personal mortgage advisers for helping me get a home loan when I purchased my new house. She was amazing. Explained all my options in easy to understand terms and made sure I understood the loan before entering into it. Nothing was too much trouble. Margaret came to my house after hours which was extremely convenient. Have already been highly recommending Margaret and will continue to keep in touch. THANK YOU MARGARET!!!

Margaret's guidance and advice through my investment property loan selection/application was second to none. Margaret was willing to listen and offer professional expert advice when it was needed. Further she followed up with contact to keep me apprised of how the process was fairing which in my opinion is one of the key factors of her success. Margaret offered a solution that tailored perfectly into my situtaion. Thanks Margaret it has been a pleasure and I cant wait to deal with you next time

I just wanted to take this opportunity to mention the incredible lengths in which Margaret went to to ensure that our loan was approved on time without, Margaret's help and assertivness i know we wouldn't have been able to secure the property she is an amazing lady and a real credit to have carrying the Smartline name and we are so very grateful to have been lucky enough to have her as our Broker. I will and have continued to pass her name on to friends & family and we will definalty use smartline again!!! Thank you for helping use reach our dream.
