Tran, ACT

Tran and his wife needed a loan of $600,000 for improvements to their existing home. They were looking for a better deal than their existing loan with AMP.

They took HomeStar’s Advantage Home Loan securely backed by ING funding in October 2009.

“I was attracted to HomeStar by the competitive interest rates and no fees on the Advantage Loan. It was really good working with Andrew who helped us with all the paperwork and approvals. I was very happy with the process and we concluded our loan sooner than I expected to.”

 
Would you recommend HomeStar to others?

 “Definitely, in fact I have already recommended HomeStar to a friend looking to refinance their loans”

Bill, VIC

Bill and his wife were seeking a loan of $708,000 for an investment property in Melbourne. They took a HomeStar Advantage Home Loan in November 2009.

“We searched on-line and found HomeStar had some of the best rates available. We knew exactly what we were looking for and found that our bank, the ANZ, had been unable to match the HomeStar rate or waive their entry fees for our loan needs. I’m a no-frills kind of guy and the HomeStar process suited us. It was efficient and as quick as I’d hoped it would be.”
 

Darryl, WA

Darryl was seeking to refinance his existing home loan and was unhappy having found that his current interest rate was no longer competitive. He settled an Advantage Home Loan of $360,000 in October 2009.

'I found HomeStar in Your Mortgage Magazine and was interested in the competitive low rates and saw it has won some awards [Non-Bank Lender of the Year in 2009].

I could see HomeStar’s interest rates were well below the big banks. I’ve been a customer of Commonwealth Bank for 30 years or so and have put my 5 kids into their accounts. But they showed me no loyalty or trust. I just felt like part of a process with them. So I rang HomeStar and Andrew was very helpful. He got back to me quickly and we worked through the application together. My circumstances were a bit complicated but the process was efficient given the paperwork required. I’d have no problem in recommending HomeStar whatsoever.”

Eduardo, NSW

Eduardo was looking to refinance his loan from a building society. He took an Advantage Home Loan for $265,000 in December 2009.
 

“I was attracted to HomeStar by the cheaper rates than the other [providers] and the minimal charges to swap. The government is encouraging people to shop around but then they still drop the hammer and lift the rates. But well done to HomeStar. They facilitated the move well. Ten out of ten!”
