We have had the pleasure of James’ services a few years ago, the service he delivered then was fantastic and it was remarkable that he delivers a high quality service consistently. Highly commendable.

James was always happy to help and made himself available for meetings whenever we required so that my wife and I felt like a priority. James' professional advice and ability to explain the intricacies of the home loan/ banking industry in an easy to understand way (without “dumbing it down”) made the whole process of buying a new house and refinancing pleasant for my wife and I. We have already (and will continue to do so) recommended his service to our friends and family personally and through social media.

James K
After dealing with James Eaves, we would never again deal with the banks directly. With Stephen working FIFO and myself a shift worker, it is quite difficult to find time for both of us to make an appointment at the bank. Nothing is too much trouble with James and he goes that extra mile to ensure nothing but the best service. This is the second mortgage we have done with James and have already referred many of our friends on to him. Thank you.
Stephen M
James was excellent. This is the second time we have financed through him & will do again if the situation arises. He put us at ease with what we wanted, gave us excellent advise & great confidence all the way through, that what we were doing was the right thing for us, particularly as we plan towards retirement & paying our house off.
John W
Our advisor, James Eaves, was absolutely amazing. He really went above & beyond to help, advise & support us. I have already recommended him to friends & would have no hesitation to refer others. He is an asset to your company.

Leanne H
James worked in exceptionally well with my needs (being located remotely) along with finding the best loan for eligible to me with my poor credit history (ex-bankrupt). He helped me through the process of purchasing my first home & informed me ahead of time what I would need to produce for the next step so as I would be able to have the documentation ready in a timely manner. James has been very informative and has guided me through all parts of my purchase, some of which were outside of his area of responsibility, which has been great.
Benjamin L
After being messed around by another broker from another company for weeks, we could not have been happier with the service and professionalism we received from James.
