Mardee Blackwood and her team are AMAZING! We were total mortgage newbies and no question of ours was too naive. Down to earth, communicative and with your best interests at heart, I highly recommend 1st Street to anyone.

Justin was fantastic to work with and went above and beyond to help us throughout the whole process of getting our first home loan. He made sure we understood everything along the way and worked hard to get us the best possible deal. We’re so grateful for his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage broker!
I am extremely satisfied by the efficient and professional service when dealing with 1st Street. I have no hesitation in recommending 1st Street, for finance or refinance arrangments.
Amanda was excellent throughout the entire process and incredibly patient with all of my questions. As a first home buyer, I found the whole process quite confusing and daunting at times, but Amanda made everything so much easier to understand and navigate.

We’ve had the fortune of being introduced to Pennie several years ago and would continue to highly recommend her brokerage services. She’s very experienced, efficient, thorough, responsive and ingenious at working around the challenges we’d encountered along our house buying journey. Thank you Pennie for your help!

Just bought our first house with Amanda Saul, and the amazing team at 1st Street. Words cannot express our gratitude towards her, for looking after us.
It was a lengthy process as our circumstance was fairly unique, but Amanda was so patient and nurturing, guiding us through the process to achieve our goals. Even working, whilst on holiday, and connecting us with all kinds of resources and people.
Highly recommend the entire team at 1st Street Financial

Thank you so much for the wonderful review Aidan. We are so excited for you and congratulations on your new home!
Working with Yuval as my mortgage broker was an absolute pleasure. From day one, he was extremely professional, patient, and thorough.
As someone navigating the home loan process, I had plenty of questions, and Yuval took the genuine time to explain everything clearly, even repeating complex details whenever I needed extra clarity to ensure I felt 100% confident.
If you are looking for a broker who truly cares about his clients and makes the entire process stress-free, I cannot recommend Yuval highly enough.
David and Bree are great at 1st Street. Always on the phone when you require help, supportive and offer really great advise.
Would highly recommend them.
Kymberly was fantastic to work with. As a new business, we weren’t confident we would qualify for asset finance, but she secured our loan within just one week and at a great rate.
She also arranged for deposits we had already paid to be refunded through the finance, which helped us maintain crucial cash flow. Kymberly explained everything clearly, kept us well informed throughout the process and made sure we always knew what was required to keep things moving.
We’re extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Kymberly to any business needing asset finance.
Loved working with Mardee! She always kept us informed every step of the way. When we needed clarity she always gave us a call to step us through the process, always leaving us reassured.
Kymberly was fantastic to deal with. She helped me secure asset finance for my CNC and panel saw, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. From our first meeting to settlement was only a week, which was a great result. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with — highly recommend.
