A fast, efficient and high-quality mortgage broker ready for you at all times – I could not recommend these services highly enough. Spiro handled the mortgage part of my girlfriend and I purchasing our first home. He made himself available to us around the clock and ensured that we were across the entire process and felt as comfortable as possible. We're very fortunate to have gone about buying our first home with Sprio and… Read more
we'd be more than happy to use him for future purchases and to refer on to family and friends.
A big shout out to Agnes also who busily works away in the background and also does an incredible job. You guys are the best!

Purchasing our first home was an exciting but daunting experience, and we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of What If We Finance. From the very beginning, Spiro proved to be a true professional, guiding us through every stage of the process with expertise, patience, and unwavering dedication. We had very little knowledge about… Read more
how home financing worked, but Spiro made it seamless, explaining everything clearly and keeping us updated at every step. He assured us that all we had to do was choose where we wanted to live, and true to his word, he handled the rest. His transparency and proactive communication meant we always felt confident in the decisions we were making.
We also had the pleasure of dealing with Jaan, who was equally professional and helpful. The team's commitment to making this journey stress free was evident from start to finish. Thanks to their guidance, we've secured finance, put down our deposit, and have now received unconditional approval from the bank. Something that once seemed overwhelming, now upon reflection, feels like a smooth and well managed process.
We look forward to continuing our relationship with What If We Finance. After the outstanding experience we’ve had, we wouldn’t ever consider going anywhere else! If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who genuinely cares about your journey and will go above and beyond to ensure you get the best outcome, What If We Finance is the team to trust. Thank you Spiro and Jaan!!!
I cannot speak highly enough of Spiro and the team at What If We Finance and the exceptional service, care and transparency he provided in securing a loan that I thought was near impossible. Facing a complex court settlement due to my separation, I needed a loan exceeding $850,000, combining a part payment to my wife and refinancing my existing… Read more
property. Time was critical, as defaulting would have forced me to sell my home, potentially leaving me with no where to go.
Spiro accomplished this feat in just over a week which in the broking world is unheard of working tirelessly day in and day out. His expertise, dedication and ability to navigate such a challenging financial situation were nothing short of remarkable. Beyond his technical skill, his customer service was impeccable. He kept me informed at every step, provided clear updates, and gave me complete visibility into the process, which brought me immense peace of mind during a stressful time.
Thanks to Spiro , I secured the loan and avoided a devastating outcome. He turned what seemed unachievable into reality, and I am beyond grateful for his professionalism and commitment. If your looking for a broker who goes above and beyond, Spiro and the team at What If We Finance is the one I trust - Thank you Spiro I am forever grateful.
Outstanding Mortgage Broker – Highly Recommended! – I had spoken to two other mortgage brokers before reaching out to Spiro, but I didn’t proceed with them because I wasn’t confident in their approach. That all changed the moment I contacted Spiro. Within minutes, he gave me a call and arranged a video meeting the same day. During our video call, Spiro came fully prepared with a PowerPoint… Read more
presentation explaining how construction finance works, as I had initially indicated that we were considering building a house. He also had a well-organised spreadsheet that clearly outlined all costs, including mortgage payments and government fees, which gave us a full picture of what to expect based on different purchase prices. He shared the spreadsheet, which I modified to do my own analysis. This helped me play around with different options, and it was a very useful tool in our buying journey.
Not only did Spiro provide clarity on the financial aspects, but he also helped us weigh the pros and cons of buying land and building versus purchasing an established home. His insights expanded our options and allowed us to make a more informed decision. Even when we were undecided in the first few days, he reassured us that no matter what path we chose, he would provide the expertise we needed.
Once we started viewing properties and found one we liked, Spiro stepped up even further. He provided us with free CoreLogic reports to help gauge market value, quickly gathered our documents, and within just two days, presented us with a financial position report and multiple lending options. When we gave him the go-ahead to proceed with the loan application, he wasted no time—submitting it to our chosen lender that very same day.
Even before getting pre-approval from the bank, Spiro gave us the confidence to make an offer subject to finance. When our first offer was declined, we found another property and wanted to make our next offer as attractive as possible. Spiro’s expertise and confidence in his ability to secure our loan reassured us, and we trusted him completely. We decided to make an unconditional offer, even before pre-approval, knowing that Spiro had our back. The risk paid off—our offer was accepted! From there, things moved incredibly fast. He arranged the valuation and secured pre-approval the next day, and within just three business days, we had unconditional approval from the bank.
From the moment I first reached out to Spiro to the day we received unconditional approval, the entire process took only three weeks—and that included time spent deliberating whether to build or buy an existing home, going to open homes, compiling our documents, etc. Once we decided, everything happened at lightning speed, allowing us to make a strong, competitive offer and secure our dream home.
Spiro takes great pride in his work ethic, and it truly shows. He is proactive, detail-oriented, and genuinely invested in his clients’ success. He excels at explaining complex financial concepts clearly, making everything easy to understand. His availability and communication were exceptional—always reachable seven days a week, which was invaluable when making critical decisions over the weekend. His responsiveness, efficiency, and willingness to go the extra mile made the entire process smooth and stress-free.
If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who is knowledgeable, proactive, and truly invested in helping you succeed, Spiro is the one to trust. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Their years of experience makes home buying simple and easy – We came in knowing a little about the home buying process, but having Spiro and the team guide us through the journey gave us peace of mind and assurance that everything would go smoothly.

Amazing service – Spiro was a tremendous help in finding us a mortgage. He was always professional and took the time to explain all the steps and forms which was greatly appreciated. And dedicated too! I felt somewhat bad that he was calling me up while he was on holidays overseas to keep me in the loop with what was happening. Amazing service. Amazing guy. He's saved as "Spiro Mortgage Broker (and great guy)" in my phone for a reason. Show details
