There's no place like Roam...

A huge congratulations to Brad and Rochelle!

 After returning from Melbourne almost six years ago and establishing the popular Roam café on Marine Parade, their home-loan journey had its share of twists and turns.

 That’s where the team at dm consult stepped in to help put the right finance structure in place — solid, well-engineered and built around their goals, with competitive rates, stability, and the flexibility to repay debt sooner rather than later.

 There was no need for moving boxes — Brad and Rochelle already live in the home. They can now look forward to completing the renovations and putting their own mark on the property, supported by a competitive low-rate renovation loan.

Client Review

We are so appreciative of Emma. She supported us through our first home purchase and even recommended a great lawyer to assist. She gives honest and helpful advice and was never difficult to contact. She helped us secure our mortgage and provided great advice on which option would be beneficial for us. Thanks to Emma we have now moved into our first home, would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage broker. 😊

They've Done It!

We've just recently purchased our first home, and we couldn’t have done it without the amazing help of Darrin McCormack.

From start to finish, Darrin was incredibly easy to deal with, gave us great advice, and took the time to explain the different options available so we could make the best decisions for our situation. His knowledge and guidance made what could have been a stressful process feel straightforward and manageable.

If you’re looking for a mortgage adviser who genuinely has your best interests at heart, we highly recommend Darrin. Thanks again for all your help—we’re so grateful to be in our first home!
