An absolutely seamless experice with this company, A massive shout out to Adi Krishna, His outstanding professionalism and sharp response times left little time for worrying and everything stayed on track. Awesome guys
It’s my absolute pleasure to be writing a review for Aussie Home Loans, but more specifically, for Averil D’Cruz. Averil provided me with exceptional service during a refinance from one lender to another. Her expertise in her field is without reproach and is matched by her proactive manner and exceptional communication skills. From first contact… Read more · 1
with Averil to the final settlement and at every stage between, I felt confident that I was with an expert in home loans and refinancing. At every stage of my application, Averil communicated regularly and explained mortgage and finance jargon clearly and concisely. Furthermore, Averil narrowed down potential lenders, compared rates and offered her expertise, within the purview of her role, securing an exceptional offer from Bankwest before rates increased. Despite some bumps along the way with title details and my previous lender dragging their feet with settlement, Averil kept me informed and kept the door open for any queries or concerns I had - and there were a few. Another thing worth mentioning, is that Averil has a very easy, warm manner without skimping on details which are beyond her control. This was particularly important given the glitches we encountered. Despite these circumstances, the process was actually rather quick and between Averil, Joanna Mangila and Joanna’s manager, sufficient pressure applied, and continuous following up with my previous lender resulted in the final settlement and refinance. My application included releasing equity, and with Averil’s guidance, there were no disappointments. I have not used Aussie before, but should I be looking at refinancing again/looking at purchasing an investment property, I know exactly who I’ll be calling and who I will recommend without hesitation: Averil D’Cruz.
I worked with Chris for over a year on my home loan journey, and thanks to him, my family and I have finally purchased our first dream home in Australia. I honestly cannot thank him enough. Chris is an amazing person and an exceptional Broker who truly goes above and beyond. Throughout the process, I faced many difficulties and stressful… Read more
situations, including tight deadlines for loan approval. During some of the most challenging moments, I was under immense pressure—but Chris made everything feel manageable. He worked overtime, consistently kept me updated on the progress, and always took the time to explain things clearly, which helped keep me calm during very stressful situations. His dedication, patience, and support made a world of difference. Because of Chris and his hard work, something that felt overwhelming became possible. I genuinely believe that if I had worked with another lender, this outcome might not have been achievable. I’m almost speechless when I think about how much effort he put in. On top of everything, Chris secured me an excellent interest rate in a rising market, which is extremely impressive and just shows how skilled and committed he is to his clients. I give Chris 10/10 without hesitation and wholeheartedly wish him all the success he truly deserves. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and will fight for the best outcome for you, Chris is the person.

We recently bought our first house in Sydney under complete guidance and help of our broker Amar Alluri who helped and guided us thoroughly throughout the process with much ease and flexibility. He cleared all our questions and concerns with very good communication skills and always available for us. Would definitely recommend him and Aussie home loans for a smooth and quick process.

Daniel and his team from Aussie Home Loans in Cairns were brilliant. I secured a home loan with an incredible rate and the entire process was so smooth from start to finish - I still cant believe how easy it was, thanks to the step by step guidance from Dan, which resulted in the best loan product for me. I highly recommend anyone looking for a home loan that is seamless and perfect tailored to your budget. Show reply
As first-home buyers, Tara Coad was exactly who we needed in our corner. From the very beginning, Tara took so much of the worry and uncertainty off our shoulders. She walked us through every step, always calm, always clear, and always one step ahead. She has this amazing way of making you feel confident and informed, even when the paperwork… Read more · 1

You can tell Tara really cares about her clients and wants them to feel good about every part of the process, from the very first chat to that final "you're approved" moment.
We couldn’t be more grateful, and we’d 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, capable, and seriously good at what they do.

My husband and I were wanting to purchase an investment property and as he works for himself it can be very involved and tricky to navigate through the process. Jaz Brandon from Aussie contacted us and from the minute she spoke to us she was… Read more · 1
invested in making it work. She worked so hard to secure us the property and work through our complicated situation and was nothing short of amazing from start to finish. I will be recommending her to everyone that needs a broker- I honestly believe if it was anyone else we would not have been successful. If I could rate her more than 10/10 I would. We will absolutely be contacting her again without hesitation for our next purchase.
Follow-up · Since the settlement Jaz has kept in touch with any further updates and has been nothing but amazing . Still would recommend her every time.
Graeme Hills from Aussie Home Loans is the Guru! I recommend him and his services to anyone that needs a fresh overlook on their mortgage or simply would like to look into seeing what Aussie can do for them. No problems here. Show details · 1
Follow-up · Graeme was in contact all the way through. If I initiated a call it was either answered or returned within only a couple of days which obviously made it less stressful and a smoother transition. There was a cash bonus for switching loan institutions of $3000 at that time which was pretty handy! We had a choice of a few variable rates, we chose the one that had the features we needed at that time of swapping loans.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Tara to secure our first home, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, Tara was absolutely outstanding.

felt too small or insignificant she took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we felt confident every step of the way.
Her communication was exceptional, keeping us informed and up to date at all times, and her knowledge and professionalism really stood out. What could have been a stressful process was made so much smoother thanks to Tara’s guidance and reassurance.
We are so grateful for all of her help in getting us into our first home and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring mortgage broker.

When the loan is finished we are nothing for this company, the discharge process took one and half month to finish it and now I've been waiting for a week to get a confirmation of discharge letter, 3 phone calls and each one of them says will flag it. I've asked to escalate it to a manager and still waiting for their call. Show details
We wanted to purchase an additional property, which would require us to eventually sell our current owner/occupier property. We had contacted a broker named Paul (who we have used before) to see if we could get a bridging loan, or an alternative arrangement, but Paul wasn’t helpful, brushing off our enquiry with a simple “tell me”, “no” or “can’t… Read more
do”. We had worked with him previously to get a loan settled for another property, and it was okay, but seems like this time he didn’t want to help or provide any options or feedback. His attitude was dismissive and poor. This will be the last time we contact Paul.

We won’t be passing on this interest rate cut from the Reserve Bank—but an interest rate increase? No problem, we’ll have that done in a week for you. Not a good enough, Aussie! So much for loyalty. Makes me want to breathe fire—people matter, not just your massive profits. Show details

What really stood out was Mel’s genuine care and dedication. She went above and beyond to find the best solution for my situation, kept me updated at every step, and made sure I felt supported throughout the journey. It’s rare to find someone who combines deep expertise with such a friendly, approachable style.
If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who delivers exceptional service, personalised guidance, and a truly positive experience, I can’t recommend Mel Petrie highly enough. She made what could have been a stressful process feel effortless.
Kind regards, Dan

Demetri - absolutely fantastic. From get go of an online inquiry in early 2025, changes from OC to INV loans and to settlement, Demetri was always on the ball and it’s evident he knows every detail. I’ve previously worked with brokers and I’ve never met a broker as passionate as Demetri. He’s the man! Show details · 1
Rowan from Caloundra Aussie was simply amazing throughout my whole journey of securing the loan. His communication at the get go was next level.

I felt reassured the whole journey. Show details · 1
