Anjuli & Kris Balachandran

Finally, we were able to buy our own place in Sydney. THANKS to Craig Vaughan. We were given the run around by various banks (we had a unique situation and despite good income and stable one, loan wasn’t coming easy).

When we almost finally gave up, we had nothing to lose and made one last call and it was to Craig. Our hopes were back in two days from there, and had our loan approved with in next few days. We appreciated all the prompt and helpful responses to all of our queries in relation to purchasing with a Temporary Visa. He even made a bank valuation possible in 24 hours or so.

If we ever need help again with our finance, Craig will be the first person we would call.
Kindest Regards,
Anjuli & Kris

Travis & Sonia

We move to western Australia in 2012. I am from NZ and my husband is from Hawaii. We never realised how much we would love it here so after a year of being here decided we wanted to build a house in Perth and permanently reside in WA. Travis is on a 461 visa and upon enquiring to different builders found that his visa was going to be a problem. We went through two brokers, declines in applications and finding out Travs visa was going to be a problem, unless we could come up with a 20% deposit. We have four children aged 6,5,4 and 1. I am a stay at home mum and Travis works as a mining technician. We were renting and 5% was the maximum we could come up with. I found map home loans through a internet search and contacted Craig. He immediately explained to us that we could get a loan with only 5% deposit. Within a few days We had all the information we required. Basically he had our pre approval for a house and land package in Perth subject to valuation. The estate we wanted to build in was new and still being developed. After 6 months delay we looked in the south west coast of WA where we dreamed of living. Found abeautiful home, put in An offer and Craig had our full approval within weeks. It was such a long process overall but Craig went beyond what he needed to do and stayed in contact, kept us informed throughout and was such a blessing and great person to deal with. We can’t thank him enough for helping us reach our goals. We will definately contact him In future if we ever decided to buy again. Thank you Craig and map home loans. We are extremely happy.

Justin at Map Home Loans provided us with excellent service. We appreciate all the prompt and helpful responses to all of our queries in relation to purchasing with a Temporary Visa and choosing from a variety of home loans. Approval of our loan application came through much earlier than expected. We will not hesitate in contacting Justin again for future purchases or in recommending him to others

Jon & Anna Reed

We’re so glad that we found Craig a couple of years ago. He has been so helpful along every step of the way in us purchasing our first home and again recently when we remortgaged to carry out some renovations.
He’s easy to talk to, friendly and we have a lot of confidence in his ability and opinions.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or his company to any friends who need assistance.
Thanks Craig and the MAPS team!

Nelly and Jamie, Newington NSW

We are extremely pleased with Craig’s service. He just made the whole process of refinancing and applying for a new loan much less stressful. As we both work and have two kids there was no way of achieving the results on our own. Craig explained in easy understandable language the best way to set up our finances for maximum savings. We would definitely recommend Craig and will definitely be using Craig in the future. Thank you Craig!!!

Tom and Hayley

Craig was a massive help to Hayley and I. A Great bloke and really easy to deal with, he knew all the in’s and outs of the rules regarding purchasing a property when on a temporary visa. I am from the UK and on a Bridging Visa as applying for a Spouse / Partner Visa. Craig did his homework, gave us some great advice and we found the right home loan at the right price. I would recommend anyone in my (or similar) situation to give Craig a call – I have already passed on his details to an expat mate or too!

Hamilton & Nyari

Craig has provided us with a very professional service, communicating all the available options to us and in the process he has literally saved us $75k that we would have otherwise paid. Being new the Australian property market it was imperative we found a broker that had the patience to answer the numerous questions we had be it by phone or email and sometimes outside normal working hours and that is exactly what we got from Craig. He certainly goes beyond the call of duty. Keep up the good work Craig and we will no doubt be back in touch with you in the not too distant future.

Deon O’Brien

Craig at MAP Home Loans was fantastic to deal with. This is my first property with Craig (my fourth overall) and I’ve never experienced the level of service provided. I let him know the areas I wasn’t happy with my last Mortgage Broker and he made sure he exceeded expectations. As I do not live in Australia at the moment there were some challenges but they were all handled quickly. The best parts of the experience was how quickly Craig communicated, actioned things that needed to be done and followed up any missed items. Cheers Craig you will definitely be my choice for mortgage broker for my next purchase.

Dan and Aleisha

As complete newcomers to the property market Craig and MAP Home Loans quickly brought us up to speed, removed our preconceived fears of complexity and just walked us through the process in a no nonsense way that gave us the confidence to enjoy the excitement that is buying your first home. For such an important milestone in your life it was great to work with someone who genuinely engaged with us, worked to personalise all aspects of the service to match our situation and was able to have a laugh and enjoy the ride with us. We feel very luck we found Craig and MAP Home Loans as our the experience of buying our first home would not have been anywhere near as good without them.

Simon and Aneka Howard

Justin at MAP homeloans provided us with a superb, personal service. Our (many) queries were always dealt with promptly and effectively and updates on the progress of our application were provided to us every step of the way. Justin went out of his way to visit us at our home on the Sunshine Coast, where he provided us with excellent advice around our options, given my 457 temporary visa status, so that we were able to secure an extremely competitive home loan package. I would not hesitate to recommend Justin to anyone seeking advice on home loan products, particularly those with any visa concerns. Many thanks Justin and MAP!
