Keep up the awesome work team credit star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Nitin Srivastava2024-01-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was great working through my slightly complex mortgage application for multiple mortgages with Harvie and Credit Star. I couldn't have asked for a more patient and professional broker supported by a very capable team. Harbir was able to get me approval at a time I had given up on traditional lenders and other brokers. While the higher interest rate that I accepted was not fun, it was definitely a trade-off I was willing to make to keep my investment property. Harbir was the only one able to get me a satisfactory outcome (in raw words get me approved) when two other brokers and traditional lenders couldn't. I would recommend Harbir and Credit Star to anyone looking for a decent and capable broker, especially those with complex financial standing. Thanks Harbir!! Ella Duncan2023-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harbir and his team helped me through the process of buying my first home!! They worked absolute miracles and made the process extremely smooth. Buying your first property can be extremely daunting and for me came with so many unknowns!! But throughout it was always made sure that I had a clear understanding of what the process was, and I never felt left in the dark. Once I had settled in my home they continued to check in on me and have helped me through many other processes, ie new interest rates. I will forever be recommending Harbir and his staff to everyone wanting to purchase or refinance a property Theo Dawa2023-12-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Harbir and his team have been there for us through the entirety of our journey finding a place we can call home. He's been diligent, approachable and accommodating in helping us understand and navigate the murky waters of the financing world. Our many thanks to Harbir and the team at Credit Star for helping us lock in our dream home! Elijah Mahama2023-12-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Navigating the process and acquisition of a home loan or refinancing is never an easy task. However with Credit Star, it felt effortless with great communication, easy document submission system. I highly recommend their first class service with a 101% successful outcomes. Thanks for your service and keep up the good work!!!!! Sikander Shokeen2023-09-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Buying a first home can always be overwhelming and an area of lots of unknows. This was something we were concerned about but being with Harbir changed everything. I had contacted 3 Loan Specialists before, but Harbir had the dedication to meet us face to face and explain everything in detail about how a home loan in Australia works. He took a lot of time out to explain all financial terms of buying a property which I did not experience with any other Loan Specialist that I had contacted. The communication with Harbir and his team was very prompt and informative. They would do everything to meet deadlines and kept the process going forward. I would say working with their team to be very efficient and professional. As I was buying my first home around Christmas, most financial brokers could not commit to when they could get my loan approved. Harbir, got my loan approved in less than 5 business days during that time which seemed to be an impossible task. I would also like to highlight that at the time I believe I had got one of the lowest interest rates deals. Harbir provides exceptional service providing the right advise and keeping the clients interest first. I would be happy to recommend Harbir and his services to anyone. Ankur B2022-09-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you are looking for a home loan, then one person stands out from the crowd that is Harbir and his team.
