What My Clients Say

Previous

“Donna is such an amazing, approachable and supportive Mortgage Broker who has valuable and extensive wealth of knowledge and experience in what does does

She is always there to listen to us and provide answers to questions relating to housing loans/mortgage.

If you are looking to secure a mortgage for your dream property, we highly recommend Donna without any reservations.”
Funto
“Donna is a fantastic mortgage advisor. We approached Donna over a year ago as we were considering selling our property to potentially buy a bigger property.

We sought Donna’s assistance in financing options and strategies in purchasing another property when we already had an existing property to sell. Donna was responsive to all our questions (it was a huge learning curve for us in the current market) and provided pragmatic advice and support along our journey.

We eventually upgraded to our dream home and couldn’t have done it without Donna’s patience, advice, guidance, and support. We highly recommend Donna as a mortgage advisor. Thanks Donna”
Stephen Donaldson
“Donna is absolutely amazing! Our experience trying to deal with our bank directly had been terrible, especially considering one of us is staff.

I called Donna and she was sitting down with us with 24hrs and 24hr after that everything was sorted, finance in place AND we had cash refund from the bank on settlement. I cannot recommend Donna highly enough, with banks pushing services out of the branches, services from professionals like Donna are becoming more and more valuable.

House buying is stressful enough so anything that can make it easier is worth it and Donna does it brilliantly. On top of all of that she also is a really nice person to work with. Give her call, make your life easier, you will not be disappointed.”
Steve & Emma Tocker
“Without Donna on my side there’s no way I could have navigated through the incredibly complicated process of buying a home. As a first home buyer I didn’t have a clue about what was involved but Donna explained everything simply and calmly, guiding me through every aspect of the process, from my initial search to settlement day.

She handled everything to do with the bank, put me in contact with a great lawyer and did so much other homework on my behalf. When you have Donna in your corner you don’t just have an excellent Mortgage Adviser, you also have a supportive friend, a personal assistant, a cheerleader and a counsellor to talk you down when things get stressful.

I feel great stressful. I feel great knowing she’s in my corner to help me manage my mortgage moving forward.”
Rachel Moerman
“Donna was a fantastic support for us when selling our first home and buying a second.

She is friendly, professional, knowledgable and responsive.

She talked us through everything we needed to know and made sure we got the best interest rates. Managing our mortgage going forward is going to be easy with her support.”
Sarah George
“Donna has been our mortgage broker for the last 12 months and her tenacity and perseverance secured finance for us to buy the house of our dreams when all other lenders couldn’t see our potential.

Her belief in us, her cheerful and friendly manner, her clear communication and her ability to think outside the square make her our first choice.

We intend to use her in the near future to obtain an even better financial solution to our house loan.”
Noel & Joanne(both 2nd time round buyers in their 50s)
“We cannot thank this woman enough, someone who thought outside the box and believed that what we were after was indeed possible where as many walked the other way.

We cannot thank you enough for helping us achieve the home we have been searching for some years.”
Nigel
“My personal experience with Donna Marks was highly successful, she accomplished more in four months than three other brokers could before her over four years.

She worked tirelessly to have my finance approved, kept a strong sense of communication with me so that I understood each circumstance I faced and ensured that I was getting the best deal possible when considering my loan and insurance.

I would highly recommend Donna Marks if you a seriously looking to buy a home.”
Jamal Abdulrazzaq
“Donna has been great, helping us out with a number of mortgages over the past 6 years. She is really responsive and meets us in times and places that fit around our busy lives.

Donna is a great coach – asking questions that help us work out what we need for our situation at the time, and then helping us achieve that. I would happily recommend Donna to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

Thanks for all your help, support and advice over the years.”
Clare and Sarah
“After we got turned down by our own bank for a new mortgage we turned to Donna. Right from the get go we were very impressed with her. She is so easy to deal with and such a lovely lady. She managed to get us a new mortgage with another bank. Highly recommend her to anyone.”
Emma
“I have known Donna for a long time and know that she is extremely good at what she does and will go out of her way to help her clients. You couldn’t go wrong with Donna”
Sharon
“We are extremely happy with our decision to approach you for help to refinance and purchase a new home. Thank you for making it possible.

We greatly appreciate all your effort and thank you for arranging everything that we needed for the tender process and the deposit – we wouldn’t have done this without your great support. It’s been an absolute pleasure working with you and thank you for being so positive on our house buy since the beginning.

We know that it’s a lot of work and you made the whole process easy for us – a massive thank you for that. Thanks a lot.”
Sapi & Vishan
“Thank you so much for your wonderful assistance in getting this great new home.”
Andrew & Vanessa
“Donna helped myself and my partner – Luke to purchase our first house at 23 years of age. Donna didn’t discriminate us for our relationship status or age – as others did. Donna was honest, open, and communicated well throughout the whole experience.

Donna was efficient and used technology to establish this. This process occurred during the 2021 lockdown – Donna stayed well communicated and gave us step-by step options and tasks on what we needed to do. Donna always answered her phone when we had a question or we didn’t understand something as new house buyers.

Donna is a loving, warm, realistic person who allowed myself and my Luke to achieve our goal Thank you, Donna!.”
Lucy & Luke
