Why Work With Us
Ivan Zhang – Finance Funding
Simeon is fantastic to work with on deals. His ability to quickly grasp the situation and provide solutions is very impressive. His assessment and judgement of the deal is always ethical, which exceeds the clients’ expectations and makes my job as an advisor so much easier.
Building long term relationships is very important to Simeon which makes working with him a pleasure. He has even been known to buy the odd beer, which is the icing on the cake!
Mike Simpson – Mortgage Supply
As a mortgage broker I will at times recommend a second mortgage to my clients. I find that working with Plus Finance is easy, as they will work with me to create loans that suit my clients requirements. They are very clear about what they can and can’t offer, they provide quick responses to questions, simple loan approvals with minimal conditions and the loan settlement process always runs smoothly.
I have no hesitation recommending Plus Finance to my clients and to other mortgage and finance brokers, and do regularly.
