Nice Things People Have Said
When I started the Reverse Mortgage process it was with some trepidation. In the end I had a superb broker - Adam Oakley. He was extremely helpful, reassuring, and gave excellent advise, as well as putting up with my questions, and putting me at ease. Now its finalized, I'm very happy with the result. Would recommend Adam and Seniors First to anyone. Many thanks Adam for all the hard work.
Andrew at Seniors First did an amazing job setting up a Reverse Mortgage loan for me and my family. Due to my complicated family structure the setting up process wasn’t easy. Andrew with his considerable expertise and diplomacy overcame all obstacles to obtain a very favourable result.I am happy that through this loan I’ve been able to lend a helping hand financially to my family.I recommend with confidence Seniors First for anyone wishing to obtain a Reverse Mortgage loan.
I would like to thank Angela at Seniors First for helping me with my reverse mortgage application. The process was extremely easy because of all the help and advice that Angela passed onto me. I would recommend Seniors First to anyone thinking of getting a reverse mortgage in the future. Regards Stephen Hansen.
Based on my experience of working with Andrew Cate of Seniors First, I can highly recommend him. He is professional in his approach, knowledgeable and works hard to get the best possible outcome. He is always courteous, and I am very pleased with the outcome achieved with him.
I had made contact with Seniors First in 2023, In Feb 2025, Adam Oakley contacted me to find out if I was still interested in applying for a Reverse Mortgage, I confirmed this, but said I couldn't go ahead until I had confirmation from the builder, he then sent some necessary information, Adam continued to keep in touch. I finally got a quote from the builder and the process of applying for a Reverse Mortgage began. Adam was wonderful, as an elderly lady, I often found the legal jargon daunting, but Adam was always available to address my fears, nothing was too much bother. Finally it was time to sign the contracts etc, so much paper work. Once again Adam assured and explained everything and my fears disappeared. I now have the funds in the bank, and am ready and excited to start the new project in my house. I am so thankful to Adam for all his help, assurance and assistance.
I was lucky to have my broker Palka Kumar assigned to me for my Reverse Mortage loan. I found Palka to be extremely professional and extremely helpful in all the aspects of securing my loan. I highly recommend her to any future customers of Seniors First.
I had a first and second mortgage that I needed to discharge in order to arrange a reverse mortgage. Adam Oakley from Seniors First assisted me with the entire process. Thanks to Adam the transition went smoothly, and I was able to achieve my goals.
I had a First-Class experience with Seniors First thanks to Adam Oakley, my Broker: From the start of the process, he demonstrated knowledge and insight into my particular needs and throughout maintained an exceptional level of support and empathy. I have no hesitation in recommending Seniors First and in particular Adam Oakley for anyone considering a Reverse Mortgage.
Seniors First provided a great service when I applied for my reverse mortgage.My advisor, Adam made the experience easy and was most helpfulAdams warmth and caring during the process was much appreciated.Ron WA.
Palka was fantastic and helped me through the process with great patience and understanding. She was very thorough and always helpful and a phone call away if I needed anything. Yes, it's possible to do this without a broker, but for me it was money very well spent as I would not have known about the options available or pitfalls to avoid. I was never pressured into anything, was given numerous options, and the process was explained in great detail. I definitely recommend Seniors First.
Our application was managed extremely well by Palka, our broker from Seniors First. Her insight and experience enabled my wife and I have confidence in the entire process. She led our interaction with Inviva, and with a very experience solicitor, allowing the process to arrive at a positive conclusion. Thank you again Palka.
My wife and I wanted to establish a Line of Credit or Reverse Mortgage to consolidate our debt and a little more for our floating home repairs.We contacted 2 brokers who did not have products that we could use. But the second broker referred us to Angela Giokaris. Angela was so helpful , took time to explain everything to us and made sure we understood how the process works and our obligations...Seniors First have improved our life style considerably.
Process was well communicated and Angela Giokaris assisted throughg the entire process ensuring it went smoothly and well planned. Angela was very attentive and informative making the process from initial discussion to settlement well supported providing little useful tips along the way. Highly recommended.
A lengthy process but handled very professionally throughout.Was kept up to date and each step was explained and made very easy.Would highly recommend their services and Andrew was exceptional.
Dealing with Bill James was a pleasant and efficient process. Bill assisted me above and beyond to achieve a successful outcome.I highly recommend dealing with him and benefiting from his knowledge of the market.
