Meet David & Sophie
David and Sophie had separately owned and sold properties from previous relationships before renting and pooling their resources to purchase their “forever” family home. They had been looking for 12-18 months in preparation for this new purchase.
“We’d both had experiences with banks prior to coming to HoLo and neither of them were great. So we were happy to try the market and find a broker that understood our families needs”~ David
We caught up with David and Sophie for an introductory chat online, about their concerns and let them know how we could get a better deal for them.
“I came prepared with a lot of questions and quickly realised HoLo does more than finance. By the end of this meeting, HoLo had answered all my questions of them - so I knew they were the right fit for us” ~ Sophie
Like so many couples, they had concerns about how far they wanted to stretch themselves. They were stuck on what was a “reasonable amount of debt” for them to take on.
“All the auctions we attended didn’t have price guides, which made it difficult for us to know if we were even in the running. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to match the other offers and were starting to wonder if we would be outbid forever” ~ Sophie
HoLo was able to help David and Sophie by pointing them in the right direction of up-to-date data to give a better understanding of the market.
“Thanks to HoLo we were so well prepared and ready come auction day” ~ David
We all know buying a home is a stressful experience, but settling on a home at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown was the next level for these buyers.
“Purchasing our property during lockdown restrictions added so much more complexity. The lending processes had been moved offshore, everything was closed, and banks were outsourcing. We know lots of people who missed settlement dates during this time - and we came very close. Thankfully HoLo reached out to their networks and managed to get our file to the top” ~ Sophie
We love putting smiles on their faces. By (really) listening to David and Sophie in the beginning and asking all the right questions we were able to look at all the angles to make sure we got it right for them and ultimately bring a smile to their faces too!
“It was definitely nice to know someone had our back for sure”~ Sophie
