G. MCNABB, 2019 If it wasn’t for Mike & his team I wouldn’t be sitting in the kitchen of my first home writing this review. Buying this house was easily the most stressful thing in my life & Mike made it easy the whole way. He knows the right people and the industry inside out. Suggesting the right options and strategies to get our loan across the line. Thanks again Mike, really appreciate all you have done for us!
D. Pemberton, 2022 Thank you so much Mike, Julie and the team. Highly recommend. They are a well oiled machine with so much knowledge. The relationship they have with banks and lenders is invaluable. I have no hesitation in recommending their service. Thank you for helping us to secure our home.
G. Nihotte, 2022 The team at Mike Whittaker Mortgages has made the buying process for me super simple and easy. They were always friendly and helpful, especially to answer any 'silly' questions I had being a first home buyer and new to the process. Their online tools were easy to use and understand. Thank you for helping me achieve my goals and making it so seamless!
A. Hernandez, 2021 We met Mike through a friend. I still couldn’t believed how fast we were able to secure our first home. Mike and his team were all very helpful throughout the journey. He made things possible for us. He would answer my texts or dumb questions even on a weekend. There were times my anxiety level was at its peak but we chose to trust Mike and now we are home owners. Its like, whenever he says anything, just gotta trust him be because he will make it work! And if he say he’s gonna make it work, its gonna work!! Thanks again Mike and wonderful team!! Now I have been recommending Mike to my friends!! Highly recommended!!
S. Miranda, 2022 Mike and his team were professional from the outset. I was put in touch with Mike after another well known mortgage company (squirrel) failed to communicate or even make contact with me about my application. It would have been easier to get an appointment with the Prime Minister I reckon!!! Communication and patience is paramount given that we were in lockdown and full marks to the team in this respect. My loan was approved within 5 days and he was able to secure a slightly better interest rate and he worked around my circumstances to ensure it was done in time for auction day. Thanks MW and will be in touch down the line....
R. Davis, 2021 Mike worked personally with us on a complex mortgage and achieved the best outcome possible with very competitive interest rates. We placed our trust in Mike and his assistant Julie and they delivered. This is the second time Mike Whittaker has helped us achieve a beneficial outcome. Mike is incredibly experienced and delivers what he says. He certainly walks the talk. I’m sure we will use his services again. Thanx Mike , Julie and the team.
A. Bird, 2021 The team at Mike Whittaker Mortgages are the best in the business. Straight forward communication, easy to deal with - and always great outcomes.

S. Kirsop, 2021 Mike and his team were unbelievably helpful throughout the purchase of our new home. He worked above and beyond to ensure all requirements were met on time and even avoided some unwanted costs in the process. They remained transparent and easy to communicate with throughout the process and I cannot recommend his teams services enough. Thanks heap!
J. Dawkins, 2021 Highly recommend Mike and his Team. We had very limited knowledge of the mortgage process heading into buying our first home - Mike and his team were great in making the process a smooth as possible and securing us a better outcome then we had anticipated. A friendly hands-on team who are there to help and make the journey enjoyable - Cheers Mike.
S. Manoharan, 2021 Mike and his team were professional, informative and very helpful when guiding us through the house buying process and into our first home.

K. Blenkinsop, 2021 Mike and his team were fantastic and supportive throughout the entire process, from dealing with the bank to assisting with valuations, builder’s reports etc. We highly recommend their services (and have already recommended to all our soon-to-be first home buyer friends). We look forward to using them again for future purchases. Thanks for helping us into our new home!

D. Saini, 2021 Mike & his team @ Mike Whittaker Mortgages are very professional and very easy to deal with. Special mention to Julie, who kept us informed all the times. They provided continued support and helped from the start to finish in our new home, when I bought last year and they went a step further, when they got us a great deal after refinancing & also got us Cash Back this year. We couldn't have done this without the help and support of Mike & his fabulous team. We highly recommend MW Mortgages. Everything happened faster than we ever expected. Thanks a lot Mike & Team
L. Kilduff, 2020 Mike and his friendly team were fantastic from the moment we got in contact. We had a few hurdles to get through but Mike and his team worked hard to make our dream a reality.

Nicole Mudgway 2022 The team at Mike Whittaker Mortgages made getting a mortgage seem easy! While we had no idea what was going on or what to expect, Mike and Julie were always only a call away to deal with our numerous questions. With Mike's help, we were able to secure a mortgage with one bank at rates that were offered by a competitor bank. We are grateful for their work!
Simon c 2022 Really impressed with Mike's knowledge and customer service. Sat down with us, went through what we were looking for, kept us constantly updated with progress and has attention to detail. Really personable and easy to deal with.
Alison Greenaway From the start Mike and his team were prompt and friendly. Mike understood the challenges of my situation as an aging (not millennial) first home buyer. He saw the obstacles to getting a home that I was facing and helped me navigate them. He was knowledgeable, and pragmatic. A job well-done!.
