Best rate I could find, with excellent customer service!

published

Homestar seem to have the best rate around, with impeccable customer service.
Patrick Vergara was our point of contact throughout the home loan process, and provided excellent customer service every step of the way - polite, extremely responsive and kept us updated through each of the steps. He was also very patient in dealing with my many questions/requests ;) Thanks Patrick!
The online banking system is fairly basic, but does the job.
Would highly recommend

I've had a great experience with HomestarFinance. Not only a very competitive interest rate for a variable loan but very friendly and efficient service from Justin Ho, who was an absolute pleasure to deal with and made sure the whole process ran smoothly. I would highly recommend Justin and HomestarFinance

Great Service and smooth transfer of homeloan to Homestar

Both Rick and Ash helped me to move my home loan from CBA to Homestar. Great Service and smooth transfer. Home star provides great interest rates. They need to improve on the web and mobile application.

Great offer from Homestar

published

Jim Kiloh and the entire team at Homestar Finance were very efficient and courteous in all communications and in answering my queries to satisfaction. They lose one star though as the process from application to settlement took 3 months, when all documents were submitted within the first week; and, the interest rate was amended from 2.74% at application to 2.79% at settlement. Despite this, will definitely recommend Hoestar to other borrowers.

Refinancing With Homestar Ticks All The Boxes!

published

Great product with really low interest rates.
Great service during the refinance process especially by Justin at Homestar.
Only downside was refinancing process took a little longer than previously experienced with other lenders in the past.

Happy customer after refinancing with Homestar Finance

published

Ghada Colton was our customer service representative from start to finish and was always happy to answer our questions. The whole process took a while and we did need to resubmit documents a couple of times but if you are happy to stay on top of things and make sure the turn around is quick at your end each time the final result is a great interest rate and more money in your pocket. Hopefully they continue their run of passing on any RBA cuts in full.

Great to deal with & very low interest rate

We refinanced our home loan and Justin was our home loan specialist. He answered all my questions and made my wife and I feel at ease during a nervous time. Homestar was one of the lowest rates I could find and would so far recommend them.

Great service especially during settlement period

published

Rick and Ash consistently answered all my first home owner questions throughout the whole application process. When it came to crunch time(settlement after the Christmas break) I had consistent support from the team regarding lodging all the correct documents and escalations with the legal team to get me into my apartment ASAP. Being a first home buyer I bombarded Ash with questions that were likely out of her scope but she answered everything I threw at her and provided advice as required. 5 STARS WELL DESERVED!

HOMESTART gets 5 star from us

published

From the get go Rick and Ash were a fantastic team giving good clear instructions and advice they ensured my expectations were clear and were available for any queries I had. The process wasn't a quick one but considering it was spread over the Christmas period it took 2 months to remortgage I think this was reasonable.
I got the rate I had discussed with Rick a very competitive one too in comparison with even other online lenders and my friends were surprised at how good it was.
Rick made good suggestions like taking a little extra to cover costs which could always be repaid into the loan or the offset.

Very happy with the service provided by Patrick. He made the process extremely easy for a first home buyer and was always available to answer our questions. The rate we got is also the best in the market so couldn't be happier and would recommend Homestar Finance to family and friends.

Hi Raymond,
If you visit any of the Big 4 banks' ATM's, you won't be charged any ATM fees when withdrawing from your visa debit card.

Kind regards,

Hi

I was looking to refinance and I saw an ad for an owner occupied loan at 2.99% with your company. I want to confirm that:

1)the 2.99% is NOT a honeymoon rate, therefore not increase after a set amount of time. Is there any disclaimer I should be aware of? I have heard people being burnt by offered a low rate but then after a few years the loan rate increases and this is not even in response to a RBA rate increase.

2) if there is another rate cut, will these also be passed on to customers? I know Athena home loan swears by this for their loan products. Is yours similar to this? I want to know there is transparency

Thanks
Michelle

Hi Michelle,

1. No the 2.99% is not a honeymoon rate.

2. We cannot predict the future, but we can tell you that the past 3 rate cuts by the RBA, have been passed on in full to our Homestar customers.

Please note: You do need to meet specific credit criteria to get this rate.

Kind regards,
Homestar Finance
