Was recommended Claremont Financial by a friend and can’t not thank them enough. From the first consolation to settlement everything was made seamless. James was always there every step of the way and was able to explain everything in language that I was able to understand. Highly recommend the services at Claremont Financial and can’t wait to continue working with them into the future!

Highly recommend working with the team at Claremont Financial! From when we first engaged with them to settling on our home their communication and professionalism was top tier. James and Lauren always made time for us when we had questions and was able to explain everything in terms that we understood. Can’t wait to continue working with them now and in the future!

I’ve worked with a lot of mortgage brokers over the years, and this has been by far the best experience I’ve had. The professionalism, communication, and attention to detail have been exceptional from start to finish. Not only is James Tran outstanding, but the whole team is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and efficient. They made the entire process seamless and always went above and beyond. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for an exceptional mortgage broker.

James and his team at Claremont Financial made our experience of refinancing our home loan super easy and positive. My partner and I are both limited in our finance knowledge and James explained everything to us in easy to understand terms and answered all of our questions in a way that made us feel respected and never judged. He gave us great refinance options, advocated on our behalf for an amazing rate and has saved us hundreds of dollars a month on our home repayments. He also showed us how to set up our spending/saving accounts to maximise our offsets. They kept us in the loop when there was delays with the banks processes and made the whole process super straight forward. 10/10 - definitely recommend

From start to finish my wife and I were looked after by James and the Claremont team. James provided us with clear options in regards to our borrowing capacity and his communication was always quick. We were able to get the house we wanted and it’s all thanks to James and his team at Claremont. Would 100% recommend!
