First Home Buyers

What our clients are saying

I cannot recommend Julie highly enough! After going back and forth between buying and renting for a few years, I’d spoken to brokers at larger companies and never once felt like more than a number or that I could trust the information I was being given. Then, I found Julie. I booked an intro call, and for the first time felt genuinely listened to rather than patronised. She was someone I felt I could actually trust to guide me through the process as a first home buyer. That weekend I looked at two apartments, fell in love with one, and Julie moved fast. She recommended a conveyancer who turned around a full contract review in a day, and my offer was accepted. One month after our first call I’m settling in four days. I genuinely could not have done it without Julie. If you’re looking for a broker who is warm, efficient and supportive, Julie is your person. Thank you again, Julie!

We had a fantastic experience working with Julie from Greater Geelong Finance. She was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and highly professional while guiding us through the process of securing our renovation loan. We felt supported every step of the way. We would thoroughly recommend Julie to anyone who is looking for a top-tier broker. Thanks Julie!

Having Julie in your team during the process of securing finance is definitely something you should consider essential. Julie is so invested in the process and wants the absolute best outcome for you.

Julie is one of those rare mortgage brokers who is genuinely straightforward, transparent and always focused on what is best for her clients. She takes the time to understand each person’s situation and gives honest advice without the usual sales pressure. Her no nonsense approach, clear communication and genuine care make the home loan process feel much easier. Highly recommend Julie and Greater Geelong Finance to anyone looking for reliable, honest mortgage advice.

I couldn't be happier with the service Julie has provided as our mortgage broker. She's patient, thorough, and clearly puts genuine thought into finding the best outcome for her clients rather than just the quickest option. Her ability to explain complex things simply made the whole experience so much smoother than we expected. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Julie has been wonderful to work with throughout the entire process and has guided me through with impeccable care, advice, and patience. I cannot thank Julie enough for offering her expertise and supporting me to successfully secure a loan that works for me, especially being new to the property market. Thank you for bringing the vision to reality.

I reached out to Julie at Greater Geelong Finance (on recommendation from a friend) as I was looking for a broker to help with buying my first home.... and I couldn't have made a better decision! Julie was really thorough, professional, friendly and she guided me through every step, making me feel really at ease. No question ever seemed too small or went unanswered, and knowing I had that support was so reassuring. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again in the future - Highly Recommended.
