Testimonials

Tom Mather… There is too much to say.

In short, this man works magic. If you have a dream, see this guy; he will make it happen, even against the odds.

But it’s not only that—he genuinely cares.
After my experience with him, I trust him with my finances as I would a family member. I truly mean that. The qualities of this man are rare, and I am so grateful.

Our approval process should have been anything but easy. I had been searching for the right property for almost six months. However, we were only eligible to get a property about three months ago. Last week, my fiancé and I found the perfect property for us. However, we hadn’t properly started the pre-approval process. I told Tom it was a shame, and that I wished I had organized my finances sooner. To my surprise, he told me to go for it. I was so shocked. I replied, “But doesn’t it take quite some time to get this all organized?”

He assured me that he could make this happen. I then said, “But Tom, the auction is in 4 days, and they might not even accept my early offer as it probably won’t be enough.” He then explained everything clearly. We trusted him. We went for it.

Not only did Tom help us organize a subject-to-finance agreement, but he also got the loan approved within 4 days!!! AND… He significantly exceeded our expectations on how much we were able to borrow!!!! This helped us secure the house with our counteroffer (I’m telling you now, without him, we wouldn’t have been able to find a loan like this). I didn’t ask him to work as hard as he did. I didn’t even think it was possible to achieve such an amazing outcome within this extremely short timeframe. But this man was working on it still at 3 am some nights. I felt so bad, yet so grateful that he made it happen.

To have someone care this much and work this hard while rooting for you, when they’re not even family, felt surreal. I can’t tell you how grateful we are. It was the highest honour to be helped by such a genuine and caring man.

It didn’t look like it was going to happen at one point, but he calmly explained every minute detail along the entire process and was very reassuring. He transformed a chaotic situation into a smooth process. He is just incredible.

I will always go with Tom in the future. I will be recommending everyone I know who requires his services to see him.

Tom, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for bringing our dream into reality. Thank you for your exceptional service. Thank you for caring and guiding us through every step. As first-time home buyers, we didn’t know much. We have learned so much from you and sincerely appreciate all of your support. You are the best.

Tom went above and beyond what we were expecting and I have never met someone who is so committed to getting the most favourable outcome for their clients. His tenacious and determined attitude has not only allowed us to consolidate debt but it has also allowed us to plan for the future.

I would highly recommend, and advocate for, Tom’s brokerage services. He explains everything clearly and makes sure that there aren’t any nasty surprises- which is majorly advantageous when it comes to financial planning/debt consolidation.

If you’re in need of someone to assist with refinancing, debt consolidation and future planning, I would highly recommend Tom Mather.

I have been dealing with Evan M from Bernie lewis home loans for 5 years now. Evan has outstanding customer service skills with a high level of industry experience which has helped provide us with very good outcomes every time. Evan sets out to help you achieve the best outcome for what is best for you in a very efficient manner. I would not put my trust in another mortgage broker or bank, thanks again Evan.

If you are looking for a broker who is friendly, highly skilled and efficient, I have no hesitation in recommending Tom Kennedy at Bernie Lewis Home Loans. In my case it is hard to find a broker who can assist with complex lending, so working with Tom made my refinance a breeze.

Tom was able to orchestrate a deal for us that not only significantly reduced our finance costs increased the size of our facility without the provision of further security. He was both quick and thorough in gathering the required information to take to market and then was able to use his existing relationships to secure a great outcome for our business.

The whole process has been seamless, Tom has done all the heavy lifting. I look forward to the ongoing relationship with him and our new bankers.

Evan was excellent from the beginning. This is the second property he has assisted us to finance and his complete transparency makes the process very seamless. Evan was prompt and maintained detailed communication throughout all stages of the process to ensure that we were fully informed of each step. I would highly recommend his services and will be sure to have him involved in our future financing needs.

We would have not hesitation in recommending Vikkie and Bernie Lewis.

The assistance and advice given by James Lagudi enabled me to achieve my dream of demolishing, subdividing, selling one block and I am now going to build my home. Something which was quite daunting but is now become a reality. I am very grateful. I recommend Bernie Lewis and in particular, James Lagudi, whenever the opportunity arises.

Tom was very helpful in assisting me with my home loan goals. He made the whole process smooth and easy and added value where I did not expect e.g., getting a better rate for my existing loan and taking care of things while I was overseas.

Paul Schofield enabled my son and I to achieve our goal in obtaining a mortgage and therefore a home. Throughout the procedure he was very informative and used analogies as well as life experience stories. His approach was personable and understanding.
