Rita is an exemplary professional. As a first home buyer you are in a pool of information, where you need guidance to manoeuvre through them properly. Rita was exceptional in this aspect. She is extremely patient and kept by our side throughout our journey. She has great access to different lenders and would always go the extra mile to bring the best deal to us. Honestly, I feel I would not have done it without her help. I would recommend her to be the mortgage broker of choice to each and every first home buyer
Thanks again Rita.
Bought 2 properties with her, she's the best broker. Will be going for our next one with her too. Personalized service and always going above and beyond to guide us through the whole process. She's a Gem. Highly recommend.
Great work from Rita. Highly proffessional and guided me through the whole process. Would recommend.
Rita was incredible throughout the entire process of helping my partner and I purchase our first home. She was committed every step of the way, and guided us through the entire process communicating thoroughly, calmly and was extremely reliable, going above and beyond every single time. She really cares about you, and really invests her time because she's so committed in helping you find the right property, while making the process as simple as possible.
We have recommended her to friends and will continue to do so -and she has helped 2 of my friends achieve our dream of buying our first homes. I can't recommend and rave about her enough. You're a true gem Rita, thank you for everything
Rita was recommended by friends of ours and has been tremendous My partner and I were first time buyers and Rita has been our guiding angel through it. Rita is easy to talk to, and is prompt and clear in her communication. She always made time to answer our calls or emails, even in the panic of auction negotiations Rita helped us organise our required documentation and clearly laid out our loan options, including and what would work best for our situation now, and possible future scenarios.
We highly recommend Rita to any prospective buyers looking for a mortgage broker, and actually have already shared Rita's details with another friend, who went on to purchase a property before we found ours. Thanks for your patience Rita, we don't know what would have done without you.
Rita was professional, thorough and informative across all interactions. She ensured myself and my partner understood the information she presented to us and maintained communication and provided thorough support throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Rita.
Rita was amazing for us in providing suitable finance for home loan in difficult market. I appreciate all her hard work. Thanks Rita
Rita is very professional and helpful. Highly recommend
Highly recommend Rita to help out with any mortgage venture. Always available with quick response times and would take the time to walk through everything.
Rita made buying our first house a very simple, calm and an easy process. The time she invested into us was incredible and the time she took to explain complex terminology, she's definitely to be commended for. We were able to decide on the loan we wanted as there were many options. We were never pushed into anything at any time. Rita guided us throughout the entire process from the beginning right until the end and even helped us find workers to renovate our house, after the settlement date. A really wonderful lady to work with. Thanks Rita for everything.
Rita is avaliable day and night to help in any way she can. She is very thorough and will get you the best outcome.
I was looking into Domain and saw a property that seems to be within my capacity to purchase. I put in all details in Mortgage choice webpage and was told someone would get back to me within 24 hrs, to my surprise Rita called me back within 10 minutes very professional but yet friendly she took me through the financials, and it became clear to me where I stood. In the next few weeks, I did a whole lot of market research and inspected few properties, I liked a particular one and on my excitement I message Rita after hours on a Saturday evening. Rita was in the middle of a family emergency but she call me right away. We talked for a good half an hour and I was very clear on what I had to do to obtain that property. Long story short I managed to settle the property soon and being my first property very exciting times ahead for me.
Rita is not just a industry professional in her field but she know the ins and outs of all aspects of a whole lot of other industry. Being my first home and my first experience, it was a bit daunting. With Ritas guidance and professionalism, I must say every hurdle has been a breeze.
When my friends say to me how difficult and daunting the whole process was for them on their first home, I smile and say to them it was easy and exciting for me and perhaps they should find a broker like Rita.
Rita is the best broker we have ever worked with, she was the only one willing to deal with our unique circumstance.
Our situation was very complicated and there where many steps and hurdles needed to get to our goal. Rita achieved all this with no issues due to her diligence and hard work and amazing communication. We will be recommending Rita to everyone
Rita was amazing I'll be recommending her to anybody who is looking for a broker. It was my first property and I couldn't have asked for someone better.
Rita is by far the best broker I have ever worked with
Rita made sure I was comfortable and everything was explained and discussed in a clear and simple way. Rita was able to find the perfect product that suited my situation and provided thorough updates throughout the entire process. Rita made sure we were always communicating and ensured everything fell perfectly into place within a very tight timeline. Many thanks and I will definitely be returning for the next one and would highly recommend you to others.
We have enquited to a few brokers before we were referred to Rita by a good friend of ours. Took us by surprise how professional and helpful she is. Rita is easy to work with and genuinely care that she went above and beyond even with complex situation. Communication was seamless and always giving us updates promptly. Many thanks Rita, we really do appreciate all your hard work and glad that everything fall into place. Without doubt, we would highly recommend Rita for all your lending needs
I recommend Rita to anyone with a difficult situation to navigate. she worked hard to find the right product and supported me to collect the paperwork needed and did everything quickly and professionally. She is knowledgeable, respectful, non judgemental and caring. I highly recommend Rita.
Rita - the only broker I will ever use or recommend.
Rita was referred to me by my sister, who raved about how amazing she was when securing their mortgage. So, I thought I'd talk with Rita about my situation. That was the best decision I made as Rita was outstanding at explaining the process, rates, options and obstacles I may face.
Many brokers can explain the lending process, but what makes Rita so exceptionable and trustworthy is she tells you how it is. She laid out what I could and couldn't do with my financial circumstances and provided numerous avenues for me to achieve my goals of owning my own home. No amount of questions was ever too much, and I always felt comfortable asking what may have been silly questions. There was no smoke and mirrors, everything was clear, and I completely understood my options, position and what I could look for in the market.
Rita doesn't stop there. She is with you throughout your journey or roller coaster from start to finish. Having arranged my pre-approval Rita was available to give me advice and pep talks when putting in offers on houses no matter the time. These chats weren't a quick 2-minute conversation. Rita cares and understands just how big a decision this is and helped me navigate the world of real estate agents and strategies to secure my house.
Her problem-solving ability is second to none. I faced challenges left right and center from banks and Rita went to bat for me against two banks, ensuring I had the best deal, which I can only describe as the mortgage broker version of an elite SAS soldier.
I could not be more grateful to have met Rita. She is not only a phenomenal broker but an amazing, kind and wonderful person.
Thank you Rita for all of your help. You have been outstanding and really helpful in this new begining.You have been very much flexible with our time schedule and was readily available in our desired times. And, you were very professional too. Me and my partner is very grateful with your work and service. Thank you again.
Rita made the process of purchasing simple and stress free. She spoke in language we could understand. The apartment we purchased ended up being more than we applied for. Rita took care of this with the bank. She liaised with our solicitor and when the loan was progressing well she suggested we bring forward the settlement date which meant we were not rushed and stressed on moving day Her attention to detail and responsiveness was impressive. We felt we were dealing with a friend. We will certainly be using Rita for our next loan.
I would highly recommend Rita Halias to anyone looking for a Mortgage Broker. Rita was professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to ensure we fully understood our options. She was very patient with us and took the time to ask plenty of questions to understand what we wanted to achieve in a new loan. We moved our loan and received a great rate and are very happy that we had Rita manage this for us.

Rita is the best in the market by far for the local market. She's very attentive and provides more than just the home loan process support. She makes sure you get the best result possible for the situation you are in. There's never any pressure, just choices with added assurance that you are choosing the best option.
I would highly recommend Rita to anyone looking for a mortgage broker. She expertly guided us through the whole process and was always available to speak to when needed.
Rita is extremely knowledgeable and went out of her way to provide great quality service.
Rita made what at first seemed to be a daunting task a very stress free and pleasurable experience.
I recently retired after working many many years - most recently I worked overseas and returned to Australia due to the Covid and border closure situation. I am writing this positive review and hope that others in a similar situation as me will not give up obtaining a Mortgage for the right reason. I am sure that for most people who are working and have a regular income - its easier to get a mortgage . However, its not that easy for retirees , with no regular income , even though you have assets .
Working with Rita on the mortgage journey at this stage of my life was a comforting and positive experience . She is an expert in the field and was able to guide me with advice and options appropriate to my situation.
All through the process Rita acted very professionally , yet understood the personal circumstances to tailor the solutions. I may have given up if I had not engaged Rita She was persistent and followed through with all parties until the final settlement . It was a very smooth process - and I know Rita did all the hard work behind the scenes to make it feel so seamless .
I would definitely highly recommend Rita to anyone who wants to be successful in obtaining a mortgage and be confident that they will be in good hands.
Thank you again Rita , and I wish you all the best
Rita was amazing, she went above and beyond to secure us a home loan that worked for our situation. She was patient, friendly and always took the time to explain things so we understood. Would recommend Rita to anyone needing support in finding the right loan for them.
Rita is absolutely fantastic to work with. She helped us twice and we will definitely use her in the future. At every step of the way, from finding the best and most suitable product through to post-settlement. Rita was always proactive and available to answer our most simple or complicated questions. She is also very quick to follow up on any doubts or problems we had. Thank you Rita
Rita is simply great, we have used her services twice and would definitely keep in touch with her in the future. She is very responsible, punctual and professional.
Thank you Rita
Rita is a fantastic mortgage broker, who really goes above and beyond to ensure everything from start to finish runs as smoothly as possible.
Rita has been an absolute treasure for our recent purchase, and it couldn't have gone smoother.
Rita was our first person to call, and boy was she the best place to start. We didnt know where to start, how much we could borrow etc.
Evidently very experienced, everything was explained clearly along the way, questions were always answered, expert advice was provided helping us making informed decisions. Rita really took all the guess work away from us - she worked directly with our existing bank, our new bank and our solicitor from start to finish.
Everything appeared to be completely seamless - and we are so indebted into how much support we received personally from Rita.
Thank you again Rita, we so appreciate everything you did for us and all the headaches that came along with it over the past year.
Sam and Diti
Rita helped my partner and I on our first home buying journey and we could not be happier with her help. She made the process clear, and was always happy to answer any questions we had. You can trust her advice and we would and have recommended her to anyone who needed assistance with their home loan.
She especially has a wonderful knowledge of the St George area and gave us some great tips. Thank you for all your help, Rita.
Rita is an exceptional mortgage broker with a great knowledge and wealth of experience in her field.
Rita is very professional. She took her time to understand our personal circumstances and gave us a sensible solution to our problem in buying our property during this heated property market. She explained the whole process clearly in details from the beginning, which distinguish her to other mortgage brokers I have dealt in the past. She proactively communicated to us on every progress and very responsive to our questions with reasonable, honest and realistic answers, rather than sugar coat it to what we wish to hear. She make sure that she is just a textcallemail away 247, literally.
She did her magic to get my pre-approval very very quickly, in time for my first auction, which is critical in this environment. She has a great attention to detail to all documents, so we did not have to resubmit anything.
She went above and exceeded my high expectation, as I have a finance background. She is trustworthy to the point I can worry less about my financial matters and focus on getting a property. Without a doubt, I will look for her for my next property and would definitely recommend her to anyone.
I highly recommend Rita as she's been absolutely critical as we navigate with lending options as first home buyers. With a wealth of experience, knowledge and insight into market trends, Rita has guided us through every stage of the process, including those confusing forms from the banks to complete and read over.
What really sets Rita apart from other brokers is the attention to detail to processes and documentation, fantastic communication with regular timely updates and transparency into each lending option that's available based on our situation. Rita always put our best interests first. She exceeded every expectation we had as a Mortgage Broker and therefore wholeheartedly recommend her
Rita was very responsive throughout the process of home buying. I would highly recommend her service.
In one sentence - We would not have been able to purchase our first home in the current market with any other mortgage broker than Rita. Rita has been a tremendous support in our buying journey. Her proactiveness and thoroughness clearly stands out compared to other brokers we have dealt in the past. She goes above and beyond to make sure we understand the process clearly without getting inundated with so much information as first home buyers. Definitely recommend using Rita's services for anyone looking to purchase a house as she ensures to work in the best interest of her clients.
Cheers, Parul Dhaval
As a first home buyer with 0 experience, Rita has been exceptional with giving advice, providing feedback and making sure our finances were ready on time.

I can trust her judgement and feel secure knowing she is looking out for me and my partner. It has truly been a blessing to have her guidance and support throughout my property hunt.

We can not recommend Rita highly enough. She is very knowledgeable and always available to answer any queries we had .. we had MANY. She guided us through a period of 6 months or so as we sold off an investment property and brought our home. She was there to guide us through the complex process of buying selling real estate and also made the process of dealing with banks many times easier. She was kind enough to accompany us to our first auction as well. Suffice to say , we could not have done this without her

This lady rocks
I have applied to my first investment loan with her and I am very glad that I did She is not an ordinary broker. She knows what she is talking about and not only she does everything she possibly can to get you the best deal from the banks, she also makes sure you get it fast and on time She is prompt, she attends to all of your questions immediately, and in the process she becomes your friend. Just like a real friend, Rita's priority is helping you and not the commission she will get. I am not even exaggerating and you will see what I mean when you apply with her. I don't think I could ever find a better mortgage broker. Thanks for everything Rita
