Great rates and quick turnaround time. John is genuine to want to help the family, he is direct and to the point and has a heart of gold. Some people may not like his directness but all that matters is he gets the job done. Show details ·  1

Beware of this broker, will be pushy, rude, arrogant, at the end will swear. I’m glad I cancelled the application process as I was not getting any help on the queries. Show details

Customer for life – I contacted Christine from Pacific Mortgage Group over 2 years ago for finance for an off-the-plan purchase that was due to settle within 3 months. I chose PMG because Christine offered the best rate in all of Australia. That was enough for me to be a satisfied customer. But after a TWO YEAR DELAY, and everything you could imagine going wrong… Read more

with a property purchase happened to me, Christine has been with me every step of the way. I cannot commend her enough for her high calibre of professionalism, exceptional customer service, high attention to detail, and above all, genuine care. Not for one moment did I feel like I was just a number or a file to her. Now in my new home, I am immensely grateful to Christine and her team for making this happen. I would have lost my deposit and been taken to court if it weren't for her. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Christine and the rest of the team at PMG. I will always refinance and purchase new property with you exclusively. I am proudly a customer for life.

Stay Away!!! Do Not Use Them! – Please stay away! Do yourself a favor! I read all the bad reviews but proceeded with them anyway due to price, my mistake. Pay cheap, pay twice. Unfortunately they aren't what they seem. They don't reimburse all fees. You will pay fees and they won't tell you about them prior! As soon as my loan settled, and while the RBA rate was dropping, I… Read more

received a letter stating my loan rate was going up, [Name Removed] told me bad luck. Later I wanted my home valued so I could look into getting another home, [Name Removed] convinced me to refinance as he told me it was free and I'd get a lower rate while also getting my house valued. I was wary from my previous experience so I got it in writing that all costs were covered. When I received the contract to refinance, it had a heap of fees, so I got it in writing again from [Name Removed] that they would cover the fees, guess what, I received over $1k of fees that they wouldn't refund. I had to argue with them and only when I told them I'd take it to the ombudsmen, they agreed to cover half the fees, I was still out of pocket and never received a valuation. They also changed my offset account to a redraw, [Name Removed] told me it was the same thing, a year later I found out that it's not the same and has serious tax implications, I tried to change it to an offset, paid the money, 7 weeks later still no offset and they wanted more money. I told myself that as soon as I can get out, I will. I have now changed to a reputable bank at a slightly higher rate. You don't want the problems, cost and constant worry about such a large financial life decision. Never ever again! Stay away!

Fantastic products, excellent staff and stress free process for investment and owner occupied loans – Where to start? So many nice things to say about John and Christine from Pacific Mortgage Group. After spending a lot of time researching loans and products on the market I came across PMG and was instantly impressed. Their home loan packages come with no application fees and an absurdly low (even for todays standards) rate and has the same the… Read more

bells and whistles as the more advertised loans out there.

John made re-financing my home loan a breeze with a fast, no nonsense approach to getting across the line. If I had questions John was always available to answer them and acts in a very professional and timely manner. I was so impressed with the process that I then followed up with an investment loan path. Upon getting my investment loan setup I had the pleasure of dealing with Christine who honestly went above and beyond when it comes to customer service. Christine was informative and more than happy to give answers to multiple difficult items during the process. Christine was completely on the ball with updates and working on my behalf between solicitors, conveyances and agents and turning a stressful process into a breeze.

I would highly recommend Pacific Mortage Group, their fantastic team and available products.

Definitely would refinance again in the future with John from PMG – John from PMG is very thorough and understood the urgency of us needing to refinance to a lower rate, especially with the recent interest rate rises. The process was quick and painless as he sorted everything out faster than we expected! Would recommend him to family and friends.

blown away by how easy Christine made it, and still shocked at the great rate and lack of fees. I will be recommending all my family and friends and would highly recommend PMG to anyone reading this review.

PMG Best Home Loans Around – I have been dealing with John from PMG and for over 10 years. I taken out both new loans and refinanced with them and they have always had the best products available at the best rates. John looks after the whole process from the first phone call until the loan is ready to settle and streamlines the paperwork as much as possible. PMG also refunds… Read more

many of the fees associated with the loan application once the loan settles. Put simply if you want the best home loan rates on the market talk to John from Pacific Mortgage Group.

Beware of this company - aggressive, rude and arrogant – It's pretty rare to encounter sales people who exhibit the horrendous service, explosive aggression and air of arrogance that these people exhibit. I would suggest people are wary of this company because if this is their 'service' during presales, I can only imagine how bad it is after the sale. I'll be making further complaints to the relevant regulators. Show details

Beware and stay away – The worst ever experience I have had since my first mortgage application in 2009. They promised low interest and then try to sell more expensive product. The sales representative’s behavior was inappropriate very aggressive and rude. Excessive amount of verbal pressure, repetitive phone calls and unnecessary or duplicated documents were required… Read more

every single day even not related to this service (eg my contacts with Alinta energy or insurance companies etc). Two weeks were completely wasted with these guys. Application was cancelled due to excessive pressure and rude and inappropriate behavior of Sales representative. Upon application cancelation he even demanded to pay “evaluation fee”. Beware and stay away.

Terrible customer service – Terrible customer service over the phone. Extremely rude and unwilling to help. John is an extremely arrogant and difficult person to deal with.

Best broker! – I feel so lucky to have John as my broker. He helped me refinance my home and also investment property. He’s super fast and efficient and always finds the best mortgage deal. I’ve been with two other brokers and although they were good, third time lucky because John is THE BEST! Show details

Good result in short time – Part 1: Loan for the land: John did the job for us. Happy with the rate, happy with the conditions, happy with the speed and efficiency. Had to get used to his communication style which was rushed at times, but: always to the point. Part 2: Adding the loan for the construction: Very fast, efficient and trouble free process. John managed to get us… Read more

an even better rate than we already had.

In other words: Happy customers

Update November 2023: Meanwhile, after construction finished and house handed over, we engaged PMG/John again for a refinance. Managed to borrow an additional amount to help doing additional landscaping, doing fencing, doing a nice driveway. And again at the most competitive rate. Really happy with PMG

Great rates and service – They worked through holidays to get me a loan 0.5% better than the banks. Everything went really smooth and they were able to assist with any enquiries I had along the way. Previous mortgage broker could not come close to what they offered. Recommending them to all friends and family Show details

Pacific Mortgage Group... Christine – We have just utilised the services of Christine at the PMG to facilitate the finances in the purchase of our first investment property in Queensland.

This was the first time we… Read more

had contacted/used PMG. Throughtout the whole tranaction we have found Christine to be excellent... consistently super efficient, quick enquiry turn-arounds and no 'action' or question was too small or left unanswered.... Speak as we find, Christine was reliable, fast and personable, working remotely presented no issues with excellent communications, at all times we felt Christine was working in our best interests... good old fashioned customer service!! We intend on utalising PMG again in the coming months purely based this experince.

Highly recommended – John has helped us with several home and investment loans over a number of years, and has consistently found the most competitive rates available. He is thorough and attentive, and ensures his clients are looked after well beyond the initial arrangements. He is very efficient and ensures the whole process is as hassle-free as possible. I would recommend John to anyone seeking finance arrangements.
