Jayden explained options and usual procedures and responded to my questions in a reasonable time. He was never annoyed by how long it took me to understand the process. He chased up delays usually resolving the delay or explaining the reason for the delay.

We were helped every step of the way, to make the process easier for us. It took longer than I expected, but we realised that it is not like taking out a normal home loan. Great service indeed and very professional. Would highly recommend. Regards Dave.

We used Andrew at Seniors First to arrange a reverse mortgage to cover Mum's move into an Aged Care Facility. He was super helpful, professional and friendly from the very start, ensuring that not only did he understand our particular needs but that Mum, myself and my siblings had a full understanding of what we were agreeing to. He was incredibly responsive at every stage and made what is quite a complex process a lot easier to navigate. I'd recommend him without reservation to anyone exploring the option of a reverse mortgage.

I am very pleased and relieved to have my reverse mortgage now in place, after thinking about it for several years. Like many "oldies" I have been asset rich and cash poor for some time, but I love my house and didn't want to sell to finance living my best life, taking holidays, dining out etc. I was able to get a lump sum immediately on completion of the loan to pay off debts, with access to a much larger sum in the future, as and when I need it for house repairs and maintenance, more holidays (!), medical expenses... I may never need most or all of it but the security of knowing it's there is wonderful. Andrew from Seniors First was terrific, ensuring I completely understood every step of the process and metaphorically holding my hand throughout. Thank you Andrew!

We have just comeing into the last bit of my reverse mortgage. Trying to contact my broker, or anyone from first mortgage to fix a couple of hickups and the broker has not answered my frantic calls. All they say is to leave a voice message and some one will call you back . Still waiting !! Trying to sort out the problem with the the bank is also very trying. This process has now gone on for around 3 months now, so close and yet so far. No help from

I received outstanding service from Adam Oakley at Seniors First. With extensive experience in customer value creation, I do not say that lightly. Adam treated me with dignity and respect. He listened carefully, understood the outcomes I was seeking, and thoughtfully translated that understanding into a solution genuinely suited to my circumstances. His knowledge, sound judgement and professionalism inspired confidence throughout. It was an exceptional experience, in every respect, and I would recommend Adam and Seniors First without hesitation.

We recently used Seniors First to organise a Reverse Mortgage. Our agent was Cheryl Maclean who guided us through the whole process with absolute professionalism with the 'human touch' first & foremost. We would recommend both Seniors First & Cheryl Maclean if you are thinking of a Reverse Mortgage as it's a big decision to make & one that suited our circumstances.
