Angus, QLD
Stephanie at SmartLend has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was thorough, highly organised, and took the stress out of what is often a very overwhelming process. Stephanie secured us an excellent product and went above and beyond to explain everything clearly, patiently answering all of our questions along the way. Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made the entire experience seamless. We couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Jessica, VIC
Me and my family have used SmartLend multiple times over the last 10 years for purchasing, selling and refinancing. They have been extremely efficient, great at communicating, and very professional. I would highly recommend Stephanie.
Mathew, USA
I’ve just completed the purchase of a home in Brisbane with Stephanie’s incredible help! Our process to obtain financing was complex as we live and earn in the US and therefore seeking an expat loan. Other brokers we met with had told us that getting financing was either not possible or we would need to go with a specialty provider with an exceptionally high interest rate. Stephanie was tenacious and and managed to secure us a very competitive rate, translating the complexity of our income to the bank. Due to the time zones, she went above and beyond and took calls with us outside of work hours. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stephanie or use her services again!
