Mortgage Broking to me is a valued service, which provides a variety of specialised information to everyday people, who are looking to make the single biggest financial decision that they will make. My experience allows me to assist them with this process.

I have been a mortgage broker for 10 years. I worked with FAI Home Loans for 12mths, then Harcourts Financial Services for 5 years. During my time at Harcourts, I achieved Mobile Manager of the Year-nationally, twice, and have written over $125MM in loans. During this time, I had seen ways that we could do it better, and in sighting these, myself and fellow partners started up our own Mortgage Broking business in, “Home 2 Home Loans”. This business has now been operating for two and a half years, and been very successful. We believe the client should be the main focus, and in saying that, we will always do what is right for the specific client. We concentrate on doing it right the first time, and if so, the client will always be satisfied.

Our names are Peter and Melissa Nosenzo, we have been married for 10 years and have 3 children. We never thought in our wildest dreams we could or ever would own our own home. We called Michael Wills from 'home 2 home loans', through an agent who recommended him to us. We had no savings, no deposit and were scared of losing this house. But right from the start Michael did his homework and with no false or misleading hopes he went to work for us. Keeping in full contact with us as each step progressed. We found him to be completely professional at all times. We got our home loan and our life long dream thanks to Michael Wills and home 2 home loans. With out him it would have all been a dream.

In today's society it is rare to find a professional with commitment to providing quality service and care such as that shown by Michael Wills of home2home loans to my husband and myself.

As a young couple new to the buyers market, we appreciated the considered response in helping us in our aims and we have since moved onto ventures with home2home loans.

We would like to take this opportunity to highly recommend home2home loans to anyone who may need their services.

Certificate IV in Financial Services (Mortgage/Finance Broking)

David has extensive experience in the finance industry gained from positions held with a variety of lending institutions. His major strengths are an in depth knowledge of housing/development finance and a proven track record in sales and relationship management.

He has been a mortgage broker for almost 12 years in the Brisbane area and provides a professional service to all his clients ensuring the home loan process is as “hassle free” as possible.

We immigrated to Australia last year and buying our first home was quite a daunting prospect. In addition both my wife and myself are professional people and we simply did not have the time to research the numerous loans on offer-it truly is a maze out there!

Fortunately we were introduced to David Taylor and from our first meeting we were impressed with his style of doing business and his obvious professionalism. He answered all our questions to our satisfaction and we were more than happy to use his services particularly when informed it would not cost us a cent for his time! The lender we finally agreed upon has been great and the fact that David organized all the paperwork meant that we did not even have to go to the bank in person which was very convenient for us given our work commitments. For anyone seeking a home loan we suggest you give David Taylor a call!

J & R Gant - Spring Hill Qld

Being self-employed and not having our tax returns up to date we were told by our bank manager we did not qualify for a home loan. This obviously was quite disappointing however a friend suggested we call David Taylor from Home2Home Loans to get a second opinion. David came out to our factory which we really appreciated as we are very busy and he was a delight to deal with. He has a thorough knowledge of home loans and was able to show us several options which would enable us to purchase a home. In the end we selected a regional bank and not only did we use them for the home loan but we also transferred all our business accounts as well. David was very helpful throughout the whole process and we recommend his services highly. In fact we have since referred him to a family friend and we understand David has also arranged her finance!

Anything that Aron was not sure about he was prompt in sourcing the relevant information to satisfy my needs. His enthusiasm in which he followed every deal to the end is commendable as well as the service long after the deal was completed. I would have no hesitation in recommending Aron to get in and get the job done with very little stress and with very little fuss.

I am writing in regards to Mr. Aron Burtenshaw who has recently arranged my mortgage for me. After searching for a home on the internet for over 18 months, I was also in the hunt for a mortgage / mortgage broker. A little research on the internet and a few awkward meetings with banks, I found Mr. Burtenshaw via some personal colleagues. He made getting a mortgage simple! His assistance and attitude were both outstanding. He was constantly following up on paperwork for me as well as assisting with all the cumbersome contracts. He was in contact with myself all the time, he also was in contact with the bank, my solicitor and the real estate agent and always had his finger on the pulse. He was an absolute pleasure to speak with on the phone and all with the desired outcome – my mortgage was approved! This is a simple note of thanks for all his help and I look forward to using his services in the future. I have been recommending him to all my friends and work colleagues. Good luck to him for the future! Thanks again.
