I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to you and the team at Drake for the exceptional service and attention to detail in helping secure mortgages for both of my children in the last three months. I have had numerous experiences with mortgage brokers, but none as good as you.

Best service I've ever had from a mortgage advisor, or any financial advisor for that matter! Always very professional but also practical and personable. Every step of the way, we had help and answers available to us.

Kerry, Dawn and the rest of the team were brilliant. So responsive to communication and held our hand right the way through, even with post completion queries that as first buyers we had no clue about. Kerry was completely non-judgmental and just wanted the best for us. Would recommend Kerry and Drake Mortgages to anyone and we will be back for further help in future I'm sure!
