A great experience - I was guided through the whole process, and it put my mind at ease as every step was explained, and what my responsibilities and obligations were. Very happy to recommend Vaughan and his team.

Vaughan and Charlotte were extremely helpful and patient to find the best home loan deal for us. We could call them day or night or on the weekend for any questions and they answered within minutes to any emails. Vaughan and Charlotte guided us through the jungle of home loan terms and made the whole process of buying a house much easier.
Great overall service and we felt very well taken care of. We highly recommend their service.

As a first home buyer in Australia, it was rather daunting working out what loan was best for me, where I could get the best rates and what exactly was required of me. Vaughan went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and confident in my choices. He was extremely informative and ensured I understood each step and procedure. With the tightening of requirements from the banks, Vaughan worked hard to get me my pre-approval in a timely manner and reassured me throughout the whole process; he was incredibly patient with me.
I highly recommend Acclaimed Home Loans to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Patrick O'neill i cant thankyou enough im so happy and appreciative for the work you have done for me. From day 1 getting knocked back by my own bank and other banks. From the first phone call when he told me they would be able to help and they will make something happen i decided to go through with it not knowing if acclaimed as a company would even be able to help and from there a late afternoon call to now. So happy and thankful for all the work Patrick has done i really couldnt have even imagined he would be so helpful and getting everything organized.

Id definetly recommend him to everyone that needs the help and doesnt know where to start.

I feel so happy i went through Acclaimed and most of thankful to Patrick who has done the impossible and helped me out.

Thankyou so so much!

As a first home buyer, I was lucky to contact with Acclaimed Home Loans. It is a great option and peace of mind. They took me to all aspects of purchasing the property with no hidden points and patient enough in answering all the questions.
This really made the procedures easy and understandable for a person with no previous knowledge. They not only introduced me various loan options based on my situation, but also helped me in finding other required services such as recent local government rules, solicitor and insurance. I am sure it would not be easy to look for the best value with high professional services if I did not use their excellent advise.
I recommend Acclaimed Home Loans as a genuine 5 STAR mortgage broker after searching all other options.
Thanks its CEO for his professional manner in saving the time and $$$ by following all my requests on time for a smooth settlement.

Vaughan was an enthusiastic and dedicated broker, putting in extra effort to get us our approval in time. He discussed a variety of options with us, not steering us to one bank, but giving us options from a range of lenders. This ensured we had a chance to approach a number of lenders with our situation and see what was possible. It was a positive result, and the process was pretty seamless.

I really can't recommend Vaughan and the team enough. I'd been written off as "too hard" by at least three other mortgage brokers and Acclaimed Home Loans was my last ditch try. I am so, so glad I found them. They worked tirelessly to push my loan through in time for christmas. Both Vaughan and Troy, their mortgage writer, pulled late nights, were in constant communication, really went the extra mile for me and I can't explain how much I appreciated it. I was a first home buyer and they honestly answered all my questions and made no promises they couldn't fulfill.
To Vaughan and the team a huge huge THANK YOU for helping me get into my first home. It wouldn't have happened without you. If you are looking for a mortgage broker, THIS IS THE COMPANY FOR YOU! I highly recommend them, even if you bank and every other Broker has said no, give Acclaimed a call!

We cannot recommend Robert Slejko and Acclaimed Home Loans highly enough. Robert is both generous with his time and his knowledge, and put all of his skills and experience into finding us an amazing home loan deal on our mortgage refinance. We are now one month post-settlement with our new loan and are so happy with the outcome and the amount of interest we are now saving. We will always return to Robert and Acclaimed Home Loans in the future.

He turned the daunting task of buying my first home into a pleasurable experience.

He proactively looks for the best deals for his client, He always follows up phone calls and emails in a very timely manner and I was always kept well informed, I highly recommend him and his helpful and friendly team at ACCLAIMED Home loans. You will not be disappointed!!

As a first home buyer the whole process of applying for a loan and purchasing a house was a very daunting process.
Vaughan at Acclaimed home loans made us feel at ease with the entire process.

The level of customer service provided by Vaughan was impeccable, being able to contact him by appointment after hours made it extremely convenient and a smother process. His knowledge of the industry made us feel extremely comfortable and confident in the loan we were choosing.

We highly recommend Vaughan to anyone considering a loan, and will be referring everyone we know to him in the future.
Thank you again, to Vaughan and the team at acclaimed home loans

I have had the most positive experience with Vaughan and Robert at Acclaimed Home Loans. They were both professional and friendly and put me at ease from our very first meeting. As someone who knew very little about home loans before the meeting they walked me through all the steps I would need to take and clearly and concisely explained to me all terms I was unfamiliar with as well as the options which were available to me.

I was kept updated throughout the application process ensuring I knew what was happening every step of the way. Vaughan was always available for questions whenever I had them and I would not hesitate in recommending Acclaimed Home Loans to anyone!

We had been through a mortgage broker previously who was not overly interested in listening to our requirements and proceeded based on his own assumptions this led to an unsuccessful application. Vaughan was recommended to us by a friend here in Canberra and straight away got to work finding us a solution that would work based on what we wanted. He was incredibly responsive and we never had to wait for questions to be answered. We have now navigated our way through the mortgage game and have been successful with gaining unconditional approval. None of that would have been possible without Vaughan, so we highly recommend him and Acclaimed Home Loans.

As a first time buyer and quite intimidated by the house buying process, I couldn't rave enough about Vaughan's assistance and professionalism.
He (and Aussie Home Loans) has made the process easy to understand and easy to work with.
Everything is open and when you are given the difficult choices, every piece of information is available to help with the decision making and Vaughan helped us to understand WHAT we looking at.

In short, Vaughan has made this an easy and stress free (as possible) experience and should be your first port of call when buying a home.

Vaughan is amazing. As first home buyers unsure if we were even eligible for a loan and after meeting with a couple of mortgage brokers who just made us more confused we were about to give up, when we were recommended Vaughan. Vaughan walked us through our options, presented us with lots of different options for a minimal deposit loan and got us pre approval very quickly. When it took us lots of time to find our house, Vaughan touched base a couple of times which was appreciated. When we finally found our home, it was much easier having acclaimed home loans dealing with the bank rather then ourselves, relieving us of a lot of stress. Vaughan was also available to be contacted at any time which was great. We could not be more thankful to Vaughan, without him we would not have been in our own home for christmas. Definitely a 5 star service!

Vaughan is an engaging and excited guy. He is so enthusiastic about you and your project as if it was his own. He does everything, I mean everything, in his power to get a great loan outcome. In our case it was for land.

We will definitely be using him again for the investment property and the construction loan. We are happy to recommend Vaughan and his services.

My wife and I went to Acclaimed Home Loans when we learned Vaughan had left Aussie. From our first meeting with him it was clear that he would go above and beyond to find the best deal for us. As soon as they're was a change of circumstances he would never hesitate to go back to step one and run all the numbers for us again.

Vaughan has been available for us to contact at any time. He has always been responsive, even when we weren't.

Vaughan is the most proactive and engaging mortgage broker I've been to. He has made me feel valued as a client when every other broker I've been to has made me feel like I'm just another transaction.

Next time my wife and I refinance our home loan I know we will go to Acclaimed Home Loans, if for no other reason than I trust Vaughan when he says he will call us in 12 months to see if we are still happy with our loan.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! I highly recommend Vaughan from Acclaimed Home Loans. My partner and I were very intimidated with the thought of applying for a home loan as this was our first purchase but Vaughan took the time to explain the process and made it so easy and simple. Vaughan will go above and beyond to reach the best outcome for his clients with his friendly and genuine persona. Vaughan and Charlotte are both very responsive and any question was never left unanswered. Thank you so much Vaughan and the team at Acclaimed Home Loans, we will be recommending you guys to everyone!

I don t have enough words to express how much I recommend you speak to Acclaimed Home Loans, honestly people, you will not regret it!

I was a first-home buyer and completely unfamiliar with the whole process involved with buying a house. I was pointed in Vaughan's direction by a workmate and he was not only able to help me with first picking a suitable loan for my house, but he was also able to quickly and professionally sort out the issues that cropped up after I'd picked the loan (by no fault of Vaughan's). He's a busy guy but I felt like he was always available at short notice to me on the phone, through email, and face to face. I felt like I could really rely on him for any assistance with loan and bank-related issues and queries, and he was always quick to respond with the answers that I needed. As he was formerly a real estate agent he has insight into that industry and was able to provide overviews and general advice on the whole process of buying a house, which made him very useful as almost a one-point contact for anything related to buying a house. I would highly recommend Vaughan's services to anyone looking at buying a house or getting a home loan.

Wow, what can I say? My wife & I were in a pretty dire situation trying to deal directly with one of major banks, and counting down to 4 days before auction we still had not received pre-approval or any decent communication on what was happening. We then called Vaughan on a mates recommendation, he basically dropped everything and stayed back till after 9pm with us preparing a new application, going through every conceivable detail to ensure there were no hold ups.
Just in the nick of time we've got the pre-approval we need to bid at auction tomorrow, at a rate 0.2% better than the 'great deal' we were hoping for with the bank! Thanks again Vaughan!!

Our experience with Acclaimed was absolutely positive. They were responsive, knowledgeable and transparent. We are making substantial savings on our refinanced home loan, with an institution that Acclaimed recommended that we hadn't come across in our previous research and dealings with online comparison sites. They confidently navigated the market with our needs in mind and found offers that not only had good rates, but had no hidden fees and limitations that many of the "cheap" loans come baggaged with. They offer value well beyond comparing home loans. We make our review with thanks.

Purchasing your first home can be a daunting task. Thanks to the AMAZING support and Guidance from Vaughan, my Partner and I were able to purchase our 1st Home. Vaughan made the entire process simple and was there every step of the way. No question was ever too silly or complicated and we never felt like we were being a bother. It has been amazing to deal with someone who not only understands the Leading market but took to the time to get to know us and what we needed so we got the best deal possible. We definitely recommend anyone looking to purchase a house to use Acclaimed Home Loans.

My brother and I are going for our first home, we came across a lot of hic-ups a long the way and honestly, if it wasn't for Vaughan we would have not been able to get this home that we wanted. Vaughan helped us every step of the way as we both were new to everything and we couldn't be more grateful! The customers are his highest priority and the service he provides is excellent, he will do whats best for you and your interests. We have already recommended him to our family and extended family. Acclaimed Homes is definitely 5 star and I regret I can not give any thing higher than 5 stars.

I can t thank Vaughan from acclaimed homes enough for getting me my loan. It definitely wasn t made easy for him, but he still managed to pull it off considering all of the restrictions he had to deal with. I was constantly kept updated throughout my process and he was more than happy to call in after work for a home visit if it was required. I knew that if I had any concerns or was worried about something, I knew that I could call Vaughan day or night no matter what time to ask him a question, cause he was there to help me through this stressful process. I highly recommend Vaughan, I will be referring all of my friends and family to Vaughan.

After having a home loan with a big four bank I was looking to switch to a home loan with a more economical rate. Vaughan was extremely helpful throughout the process guiding me through the documentation requirements, providing me with different options and finding me a loan that had a full offset facility, redraw and a significantly lower rate then the bank could offer. Highly recommend Vaughan to anyone looking to purchase or refinance.

I'm self-employed and despite having run my own business for nearly 20 years that is, apparently, a sin in the eyes of most of the major brokers and lenders.

I approached Vaughan and his team after being treated like a pariah by other brokers and was, from the very beginning, astounded at the difference. In Vaughan's eyes I was a person with a need and his task was to fulfil that need while giving me credibility and respect as a person.

To say that I was impressed would be understatement. I was blown away by their professionalism and their level of care.

At every step in the process they were helpful and efficient. Calls were always returned and they had answers for every question that I had. Pre-approval happened very quickly and enabled us to proceed with the purchase of a new home. Once our decision was made Vaughan was there to smooth the process and we're overjoyed to say that we've now settled and look forward to moving in.

We also look forward to an ongoing relationship with Vaughan and Acclaimed Home Loans as they keep a watchful eye on whether we have the best deal available.

Thanks Vaughan, we really appreciate what you've done and would highly recommend you to others.

Charlotte was also very helpful she had great knowledge of the industry and would always reply to my emails promptly. Thanks guys, great team, great result.

Now days with so many brokers to choose from was definitely a skeptic when looking around but I was told by a friend that Vaughn is not just one of those tick and flick mortgage sleezes but he proactively looks for the best deals for his client. I researched Acclaimed Home Loans and only heard good things, I figured if he cant do me a good deal I can always go elsewhere. Long story short,his high energy, enthusiasm and professionalism made the whole process comfortable and felt like more than just a number. Best recommendation and I want to pass it forward.

Vaughan has been an amazing broker for us. As we were new to the property business, he not only helped us get the best loan, but pretty much guided us through the whole buying process. His advise in dealing with the real estate, lawyers and the bank has been invaluable for us. He was very attentive and was ready to negotiate all our requirements with the bank. Even when we changed our minds with the home loan a few times, he was always patient and understanding of our circumstances. Furthermore, through his connections, he helped us secure the property we were after as well! I cannot recommend him enough and will definitely utilize his services in the future!

Patrick O'Neill from Acclaimed Home Loans helped me out with my loan. along the way there were delays, due to my work commitments and the crazy hours that i work. He never rushed me or got annoyed at the process of me getting all the paperwork. he always told me the things i needed to provide, and that i could call or contact him any time i needed to (and i did, and he never got annoyed).

I've never had a mortgage broker before and know that without Patrick helping me out along the way, I couldn't get this sorted without his consistent assistance along the way.

The first time I met Vaughan Johnston and Patrick O'Neill from Acclaimed Home Loans was around a year ago and they provided me the comparison of lenders and products based on our requirements. A few months later, we requested our financial pre-approval for potential house auctions and Patrick has helped us a lot to prepare all the paper works and got the pre-approval very quickly.

Until last month, we finally had an offer of our ideal property and again, Patrick assisted us to re-estimate the best deal in the market. After we submitted all required documents, our home loan was approved by the lender in 6 working days. We really appreciate the good service and professional advice from the Acclaimed Home Loans, especially Patrick s assistance.

We knew Vaughan in 2016 when applying for a pre-approved home loan from Aussie. We were so impressed by his prompt and professional service. Vaughan also provided valuable advice during the process of purchasing our first investment property in Sydney. After settlement we realized that the bank did not set up our accounts in line with the mortgage contract, it was Vaughan who negotiated with the bank on our behalf to ensure the issue was solved to our satisfaction. As Vaughan s customers, we receive his updates on the reserve bank s rate changes on a regular basis. He also keep close contact with us and raise our attention when better deals are emerging. Vaughan has recently helped us to successfully refinance our loans, from which we will save up to $600 annually. We definitely will be recommending Vaughan to family and friends.

Before talking to Vaughan at Acclaimed Home Loan, we have met so many different brokers from the best to the second best firm on the market and struggled to find the one suit our criteria. Vaughan is the best broker we have met and worked with. He provided an excellent customer experience and resource that helped us to learn more about the investment and how the bank or lender mindset work. Vaughan did not just let us open an account with any lender rather than the best and ignored us as we have experienced elsewhere. He took care of us and building up the relationship as well as friendship with his customers which is hard to see from the broker in the big firm. He worked with us carefully and didn't feel bothered at all by our silly questions or rapidly changing circumstance. I don't know how much we can say thank to him to help us secure our loan in such a short time with the maximum effort.

My wife and I met Vaughan a few weeks ago at an open home. Vaughan was very approachable and friendly and asked us about what we were looking for, what our budget was and without being nosey asked about our finances to get a clear picture about how he could help. On the spot he was able to give us some great advice, how he could help us with our budget and some banks that would be able to help in our situation. We contacted Vaughan by email the next day(which was a Sunday) and he emailed us back within a few hours. From there he got a few more details from us so he could obtain some quotes from lenders. By Monday evening we had 5 banks that would work within our budget. We then set up a meeting for later that week after hours (which was greatly appreciated) and started the loan application paperwork. That night and the next day Vaughan completed all of the paperwork and had sent it off to the bank. I would highly recommend him to any prospective home buyer and his professionalism has been second to none. He always follows up phone calls and emails in a very timely manner. You will not be disappointed!!

I would highly recommend Vaughan to anyone looking to either re-adjust their existing home loan, or looking to arrange finance for a new purchase!

I highly recommend acclaimed home loans. After dealing with aussies in Manuka who made the process very painful and hard it was very refreshing to work with Vaughan and his team who made the process very easy whilst always keeping me informed the whole time. Vaughan's approach to business is inspiring and refreshing, he answers phone calls everytime and works weekends to get the job done. No time is a bad time to contact him. This work ethic is very admirable and as a small business owner myself I aim to achieve the same customer service. Don't make the same mistake I did and go to another broker first go and see acclaimed home loans. They are truly the best in the business. I will be using them for all my future business and can't thank them enough for their hard work and professional approach.

We have recently worked with Vaughan and his team at Acclaimed Home Loans after their many numerous recommendations and we honestly cannot praise his and the teams work enough. Vaughan is incredibly prompt and professional, providing nothing but the highest standard of service to find the best possible loan for us. Vaughan made us feel so comfortable with buying our first home and was able to provide constant feed back and reassurance and was always available to answer phone calls and emails with a thorough explanation. We feel incredibly lucky and grateful to have worked with Vaughan and the team at Acclaimed and will continue to sing his praises and recommend their service to anyone interested in buying a home. Thank you for helping us buy our first home, Vaughan and all the team at Acclaimed Home Loans!

My partner and I are first home buyers who had very little knowledge about what we needed to do and know before purchasing our first home, luckily for us we were referred to Vaughan Johnston from Acclaimed Home Loans. Vaughan went above and beyond what we had expected from him to ensure we understood every step of the process and were getting the best outcome we could for our lifestyle. At no point throughout our negotiations with Vaughn did we feel pressured or mislead to make a decision we were unsure about in anyway. I have already recommended Vaughn and Acclaimed Home Loans to family and friends who are equally as happy with his service. The 5 stars are very well deserved.

Highly recommend Vaughan from Acclaimed. As a first home buyer I approached a bank about a home loan and over a period of a month got nowhere and had no idea what was happening, turns out nothing was happening except I was getting confused.

So I got in touch with Acclaimed. After getting in touch with Vaughan and meeting in his office, Vaughan made things happen. I knew what was happening and how much I could borrow. He made things easy. I didn t have to worry about anything, and he explained it all so I understood. Very happy with the service!

We had a great experience with Vaughan Johnston from Acclaimed Home Loans. We found him to be very professional, helpful and provided us a tailored service. We have not seen any other brokers until now that are positive, helpful, honest and caring. This is why we would like to recommend anyone in Canberra thinking of getting a loan or reviewing their existing loans for refinancing to at least have a chat with Vaughan because he will show you your options. You could actually save hundreds of $$ if not thousands which you don't know until you see him. He is very quick unlike others who don't bother responding to emails and answering phones. He was able to get us a full approval in less than a week.

We met Vaughan when we went to a property viewing and inspection in Florey which is when we gave him our details. The same day we received an email from him asking us to fill in online forms which we did. Soon after completing the application action online I called him and said that we were seriously looking for property and were hopeful that he could get us the best deal available out in the market soon as possible because we were desperately looking for approval to be able to make an offer on properties we liked. He said that as a broker that was exactly his job, to provide the best available options for the loan that suited our needs. He came to our place the next day to grab the documents and discussed his strategies and all available options. He was able to get us a loan on a very good rate and we were quite impressed with the rate because we had only 5% deposit (excluding the stamp duty and other costs) and thought we would be paying heaps more. We signed everything and he lodged the application on Monday. By Friday he came with an approval to our surprise. I texted him and said that he made our day. Sorry about the long story but this is exactly what happened.

Finally I would like to reiterate that Acclaimed Home Loans looked after us very well. With out their help we would not have bought the property in such as short time in which we did. The whole process was very simple and straight forward. Vaughan deliverd above and beyond our expectations of a typical mortgage broker. I would like to recommend him and infact told a few of my friends and families to call him to review their existing home loan or if they are going for a new loan.

We are sure you will be in great hands so please don't hesitate to call him.

We cannot remember the last time we came across someone with such level of exemplary knowledge in their field, customer service, responsiveness and work ethic. Vaughan s actions truly demonstrated he genuinely cared about us he meticulously assessed our circumstances, and relentlessly negotiated with the lenders to get us the best value for our new house as well as investment property.

We are now advocates for Vaughan and will highly recommend him to everyone we come across either seeking for a home loan, wishing to refinance the existing home loan/s or wanting to work with the best mortgage broker (it is not a surprise given he has earnt the title of number one Mortgage Broker in New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory).

A huge thank you to the team at Acclaimed Home Loans. Each team member looked after me on a individual level and made everything involved with purchasing a first home incredibly easy and pain free. They explained the process, walked me through it step by step and kept me up to date on all milestones to be able to finalise my mortgage. Importantly, communication is something this team holds at a very high level. They respond very quickly and are always available to answer my call for every single silly question I had. I highly recommended this team for all your home loan enquiries!

10 out of 10 would recommend!

We were looking like our dream home purchase just wasn't going to happen with some unforeseen events not going our way. Vaughn swooped in and saved the day for us! Not only did he manage to secure us a loan but in a much faster time than other banks could do so that we were able to remain competitive in multiple offer situations.

Vaughn, Debbie and Charlotte were all super friendly, helpful and responsive and ultimately, for us, that meant that we're moving into our first home and feeling excited, relieved and generally on top of the world! Thanks Acclaimed team!

Vaughan from acclaimed home loans is a legend. When the major brokers were able to provide great rate, Vaughan was always able to beat it I found him to also be honest, friendly, proactive, and extremely accommodating towards my mortgage needs. I will recommend him to everyone I know

They do the hard work for you and work really hard to get the best for you. Thank you Sao and team! You have been marvellous!

My wife and I recently engaged Acclaimed Home Loans to assist us with refinancing for an investment property. The process couldn't have been smoother. Vaughan and the team were extremely organised, great communicators and just genuinely nice people to work with. Vaughan's ideas about loan structures to meet any customer need were very insightful and we've been very happy with the end result. I especially like the fact that Vaughan and the team are with us for the long haul and check in from time to time to make sure our loan structure/provider is still right for us. It's a shame you can't give more than 5 stars on Google. 6/5 for me!

We would like to recommend Robert from Acclaimed Home Loans, as first home buyer this was a pretty overwhelming and daunting experience at first. After looking around for reviews and other brokers, we chose Acclaimed Home Loans for their personalised service. From the first meeting, we could truly see Robert s investment, interest and patience in making sure all our questions were answered and that we knew what each step along the way would entail. Despite issues way beyond his reach, Robert really went above and beyond in helping us secure our purchase. Then, he did best to usher the bank to get the unconditional approval in as quick a manner as possible.

A big big big thank you to Rob and Acclaimed Home Loans!!! Robert Slejko has been my broker for getting loan for my first home. Rob has been so helpful in arranging everything as I knew nothing about how things work. He explained the whole process and guided me through every step of getting the loan. I felt very calm and confident having Rob there to deal with the financial part. Most importantly, Rob is always available for a quick chat and a friendly advice on all sorts of matters, even after business hours.

Vaughan and his team (especially Andrew Wallace) have done an outstanding job for us. They responded quickly to our initial inquiry, came out to our home to discuss what we wanted to do, and they've made it happen in a matter of days. I couldn't be happier with the result, and I highly recommend these guys to anyone looking for a home loan. We found them to be down to earth, honest and customer focussed. They are clearly experienced and have great contacts in real estate, and finance, which has made everything easier. When I told our conveyancer who was arranging our finance he was greatly relieved! Excellent service, highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend Acclaimed Home Loans. My girlfriend and my broker was Vaughan, and there are only positives that can be said about our experience with him. The service was of high quality and very fast. Vaughan is very good at explaining all facets of the home loan process without any extraneous details, and when he says that something will get done, it is probably already underway before you get off the phone.

I found that I was able to contact someone with no waiting every time I called, saving a lot of time. Furthermore, every stage of the process was completed significantly earlier than the time estimates given by the banks.

Vaughan has been an absolute pleasure to assist us in getting our home loan approved. Him and his team are a very friendly and respectful group that work well as a team. Vaughan's can-do attitude to his work really reflects on his work ethic and the results he gets. Vaughan kept us informed on the process of the loan and worked with us to tailor a loan that suited our needs. We were very intimidated originally with the process that comes along with a home loan however Vaughan quickly washed away any worries we had, making the process a simple and positive one! Couldn't recommend Acclaimed Home Loans any more and we are looking forward to working with them again in the future. Thanks Vaughan.
