b**r (205 Sunday, 24 April 2022 )I have nothing but respect for how Bruce Foord dedicated his time and effort to help me buy my dream lifestyle block. My application was a very difficult one, I had bought at auction BEFORE I had sold my 2 rentals and we had so many knock backs with Banks and 2nd tier Lendors declining our applctn, one saying yes, then no, at the eleventh hour, one who didn’t believe our situation and another didn’t even bother looking at our appctn. But Bruce went cap in hand to the final Lender who said YES!
s*****i (8 Thursday, 18 November 2021 )No matter what’s your situation , This people will definitely fulfil your dreams, They have lot of options, My situation is almost withdrawing dream of my first home loan , But Bruce he is my mortgage advisor i dint expect he give us good news and now we have secured our first home in Auckland, he is a really helpful and excellent in communicating ,He will take all our headache “, 200% i definitely recommend this company for who ever needs their dreams to fulfill
s*****1 (8 Wednesday, 20 May 2020 )As a self employed couple we thought owning our own home in Auckland was a dream. Thankfully I contacted Grant at iLender and we are now living that dream! Thank you so much Grant, all of your hard work and dedication to our application is so appreciated. We can't thank you enough!
r******1 (0 Monday, 3 February 2020 )Highly recommend Grant Coulter at iLender he took all the stress away with the refinance and the whole process was very easy from beginning to end. Celia and Martin Hamilton
l*******n (237 Monday, 6 January 2020 )Highly recommend Jeff and team absolutely exceptional at what they do. My project is quite difficult and Jeff was able to secure exactly what I needed when I had nearly given up hope. If you need any assistance don't look past ilender.
k******6 (117 Thursday, 5 December 2019 )I dealt with Grant from Ilender after a referral from my sister in Auckland. Grant is a broker who looks outside the box. I am a solo mum with 2 dependants and am self-employed, but Grant managed to get me a mortgage with a great rate and a cashback! I honestly was losing hope of ever becoming a home owner again, but Grant made the process seemless and helped take the stress of house hunting away. I would highly recommend Grant and his team.
d********s (358 Wednesday, 27 November 2019 )Jeff and the team are highly recommended. They are our only choice when it comes to a Mortgage broker. They also sorted out the best price for house and landlord insurance. Jeff came through for us when we thought it was impossible . Just look at his reviews. Number 1 Troy and Linda Brickwood Solutions Ltd
c************s (632 Thursday, 4 April 2019 )Great work from Bruce, managed to get me into a house no problems at all. Highly recommend for self employed people.
e****6 (232 Tuesday, 19 March 2019 )Jeff is amazing! Works really hard to get you the best deal. He has alot of patience, very helpful and great communication. He was able to get us a mortgage at a great interest rate and term through our own bank even though the bank said No to us initially. Highly recommended. A+++
i******s (1600 Sunday, 24 February 2019 )Bruce and the team were excellent. Getting a mortgage with Bruce was a breeze. Quick fast, professional service. Many thanks
s******5 (22 Wednesday, 6 February 2019 )Jeff was absolutely fantastic with my mortgage for my first home. I had no idea what I was doing and he took care of everything, from random enquires about different options to then getting my mortgage over the line. He helped me with a couple of things I was nervous about, and supported me through the whole process. Thanks so much Jeff, it’s great to finally be in my own home!
f*******k (42 Wednesday, 19 December 2018 )Bruce was amazing. I just wish I had gone to him first. Fast efficient and a real pleasure to deal with. He made it happen so quickly. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Bruce - because of you I am getting to spend Xmas with all my family in the holiday home I have only dreamt of. Your the best
s*******n (18 Saturday, 15 December 2018 )Bruce gave me and my wife extraordinary support. His kind words were a moral support to us. His ways of dealing with customer must be set as an example for banking staff in NZ . I will recommend i lender and Bruce. In fact, yesterday, I came by bus. The driver wanting to buy a first home in South Island. Bruce struck me straight. Bruce gave me and my wife, the real Christmas gift the property that we longed for. Merry Christmas to Bruce and to all in iLender.
f*********z (100 Friday, 14 December 2018 )Bruce at ILender was great to deal with! Bruce and his team went above and beyond in securing us the best rate and finance deal. He completely exceeded our expectations and now we can finally proudly say we are homeowners! Whatever anyone else has told you, go see Bruce, he is a miracle worker!
r******1 (16 Monday, 19 November 2018 )Jeff, Thank you for your help. Now retired after some 30yr in financial biz . the professional help and no fuss support that took us to settlement with a difficult loan was unparalleled . I have subsequently referred a number of other people to you. Great work, Great communication and swift tidy completion. Cheers Dave
d*******l (510 Tuesday, 2 October 2018 )Bruce was brilliant in securing our first mortgage!! He helped us out when the banks wouldnt look at us. He got us over the line and into our first home in such a caring kind yet professional manner. Without Bruce we wouldn't have our amazing first home. I would highly recommend Bruce and the iLender team for sure!!!!
z*********h (8 Sunday, 30 September 2018 )Jeff and the team at ILender made it possible for us to purchase our first home, in Auckland! Everything was taken care of from start to finish and we were always kept in the loop with what was happening. He even managed to secure us lower interest rates then what we were offered at the start! The entire team is amazing, will always be using them for any financial assistance in future! Highly appreciated guys!
v********0 (201 Thursday, 13 September 2018 )Thank you Jeff! Excellent service leading to perfect outcome. Kept us informed at all times. Highly recommend ilender and would use them again in the future.
g*********s (45 Friday, 31 August 2018 )Bruce was very helpful and knowledgeable and got us a good deal with a very fast turnaround. We are very pleased with the outcome and look forward to working with iLender again.
m******7 (147 Thursday, 30 August 2018 )Over three years ago we first tried the big bank, then local brokers up to now, only to be told no on several occasions. Despite having a reasonable self-employed income, we had really given up hope of buying our first home. The reviews sounded too good to be true, but it turns out they are true. Thankyou Grant for sorting us out, and helping us along the way, we now have our first home Thanks again Mark and Wendy.
a***d (35 Tuesday, 28 August 2018 )There is nothing fake in regards to I-Lender claims. They will make your dream of owning your house a reality. Jeff and his team are nothing short of amazing. Owning our own house was always a distant dream. I-Lender de-cluttered all the red tape and barriers to make it possible for us. When there was a road block Jeff removed it. If you are serious about owning your house and tired of rejection from banks etc call Jeff at I-Lender. If they cant help you no one can
s***********0 (20 Tuesday, 14 August 2018 )Jeff is nothing short of Magic! His fast response to my many questions, speed to action everything and wealth of knowledge took away all my concerns as a first-home buyer. Jeff knew more than my lawyers did and was able to hurry them up, giving me peace of mind that someone was truly in my corner. I cannot thank Jeff enough for his help and efficiency and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy property. Thank-you so much Jeff, you are amazing!!
n*****1 (7 Wednesday, 4 July 2018 )We got excellent experience with iLender. Very fast and easy communication, clarification of any our event stupid questions, and finally the best result.
n*******s (122 Tuesday, 5 June 2018 )Excellent service from Jeff and the team. Super helpful! We would have rented for another 8-12 months and thrown 20K down the drain if we had taken the initial advice from the bank and our first broker. Can't recommend highly enough!
j***i (75 Sunday, 6 May 2018 )I would like to highly recommend Bruce. I have dealt with him with my recent re-finance application and I found him extremely knowledgeable and never seen a broker who knew so much about loans. My application was tough one but he processed it with so much ease and was with me and helped me through out the whole process. He understood my needs very well unlike banks they don't really care. He was wonderful to deal with and made a tough application possible!
w******7 (921 Wednesday, 2 May 2018 )Thanks Jeff for the quick response and great service moving form Auckland to Lawrence, Otago without a full time job put my family in a awkward situation by Jeff offered me a solution and within a week the finance was sorted. Many thanks and come highly recommend to anyone else.
k***o (186 Sunday, 29 April 2018 )What you will find with Jeff is a direct and effective service. Understand that the mortgage market is competitive and mortgages extremely difficult especially for first time home buyers. Jeff will give you straight talking advice on how to get there - do your part and Jeff will take care of the rest. He's also a top quality operational crew member for Hibiscus Coastguard, even more reason to support him! Thanks Jeff, loving the new home.
p*****a (536 Monday, 23 April 2018 )Jeff and his team were awesome to deal with when we first got our mortgage, and they are just as awesome come refixing time. They very quickly got us great rates, and made us feel like we were still a valued customer - even though our mortgage is probably quite small in comparison to some Auckland prices! I can recommend them with no qualms at all. Thanks, Steve and Fiona.
d*******1 (47 Monday, 2 April 2018 )Bruce and his team worked tirelessly to enable us to consolidate our loan. We were turned down a number of times or they didn't want to cover the full amount but Bruce was quietly confident and did for us what most people couldn't do. We would not hesitate recommending them to anyone, they're absolutely incredible!Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
e*****8 (8 Monday, 29 January 2018 )Jeff and the ilender team were amazing in securing my first home. Always kept me in the loop with any changes throughout the process. Buying a house is extremely stressful but i would've buckled under the pressure if it wasnt for the team. Thank you Jeff you and your team are absolute stars!!
h***t (151 Sunday, 28 January 2018 )We've use iLender twice now. No matter who we deal with, Jeff and the team are always knowledgeable and helpful, and have always got us a great rate and terms. Thanks again iLender.
k******e (37 Friday, 26 January 2018 )Jeff has helped me get funds for my first, and now second home. On both occasions the bank, other well-known brokers could not help. Jeff is a truly a specialist. Great to see that iLenders documents and disclosure are in layman's terms.
d*******1 (431 Wednesday, 20 December 2017 )Bruce Foord was awesome to deal with. As first home buyers we needed lots of advice and Bruce not only secured us lending but a got a great rate for us too. A++ Thanks so much!
z*****1 (13 Thursday, 23 November 2017 )We received great help from Jeff and his team. His services were extremely professional and his advice very easy to understand. We also appreaciated he was very responsive. There was a lot of issues to be dealt with such as valuation, conditions to be met before final approval, etc. But he always helped us to get through these very quickly. Finally, he managed to negotiate great deal for us in terms of the interest rate. We hope to use his services again
s*******6 (74 Wednesday, 15 November 2017 )what can I say with out Mo and Jeff we would have lost our house that we have waited so long for . They were easy to talk to did not judge me on the situation i was in . every thing was sorted in a matter of days . An honest company highly recommended.
i***********y (270 Sunday, 12 November 2017 )Bruce found us a mortgage when no one else would give us the time of day. This company is excellent to deal with and really go the extra mile to make things easy and do-able. It took Bruce less than a week to secure us our mortgage. I would recommend I-Lender without hesitation especially if you want really good service without all the BS. Thanks so much Bruce and I-Lender.
n*******r (99 Friday, 10 November 2017 )Cannot praise this company enough , My daughter had given up hope of obtaining a manageable mortgage . After speaking to Mo and Jeff within 10 days she had a mortgage at a great rate . Nothing was too much trouble and even though I had numerous questions Mo and Jeff were there with all the answers . Mo has the patience of a saint and was reassuring at every step . Jeff was quick to overcome any obstacle's. A fantastic company .Thank you so much .
r******7 (20 Wednesday, 25 October 2017 )Amazing group to work with ! Bruce and Marilyn were there every step of the way ! Bruce went the extra mile and the final result is now a beautiful home that I cannot thank Bruce and his team enough for, for helping this happen. Highly recommend these guys if you are searching for a mortgage they are brilliant.
l************t (94 Wednesday, 11 October 2017 )We had the pleasure of dealing with Jeff and Bruce at iLender. Bruces' dedication and hard work to see our loan get over the line was amazing! He made the process easy to understand, all without judging our situation. We are so grateful, and are now in a position where we have a goal that we can work towards and achieve in the future. Will definitely use them again, and have no hesitation in recommending them. Thank you Bruce from our little family!
k*****5 (17 Sunday, 1 October 2017 )I went to the banks to try and get a loan and that was so confusing that I ended up getting a migraine. Then I found Jeff and the Ilender staff...they made it so easy for me to follow. They were with me every step of the way and help pushed me over the finish line. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't know what I would have done. Thank you Jeff, Marilyn & Mo for all your hard work & effort. You Guys are the Best! I recommend that if you need refinancing from someone that will work for you - Ilender.
r******3 (6 Saturday, 30 September 2017 )I've worked with Jeff twice and it's been a pleasure and a success both times. I present an unusual case for mainstream banks, and Jeff has been super effective at finding and delivering alternative financing within tight deadlines. Many thanks Jeff!
s***********e (24 Friday, 22 September 2017 )Like many other people here, I can't speak highly enough of Bruce, Jeff and the team. We were a very tricky application to push through for approval, but Bruce managed to tick all the right boxes and talk to the right people to get us over the line. The financial freedom we have now (with Bruce also arranging to clear ALL of our personal debt AS WELL AS finance for our first home) is AMAZING. Just have a chat with them. I don't think you'll be disappointed. Highly recommended.
c***2 (473 Friday, 22 September 2017 )Bruce worked very hard for us. He managed to obtain a 90% loan for us. Happy to recommend him to anybody.
c******l (153 Wednesday, 13 September 2017 )Jeff, thank you for your help and positivity in dealing with the loan I needed, you were so easy to deal with and clear in what I needed to know and check before committing to the loan. Fantastic service. :).
h*******u (100 Friday, 1 September 2017 )Thank you so much Bruce! We were struggling in debt and couldn't get a remortgage at the bank. Bruce took us on and sorted everything out! Easy to deal with, took us through every step! Highly recommended if you are struggling with debts or just need to be sorted out! We will be using him again when the time comes. Thank you life is easier again.
s**********r (119 Thursday, 31 August 2017 )Jeff did an outstanding job. His level of commitment went above what was expected and his communication at every step kept me well informed of a process I was not confident in. Jeff took all the hassles away and made the process seem so simple. The deal with the bank was outstanding and not something I think I would have got if I had gone through this alone. I’d highly recommend Jeff and his services and professionalism to anyone wanting a mortgage.
c****c (373 Saturday, 29 July 2017 )Jeff was an absolute pleasure to deal with! even though we had a few deals fall through he was always polite and worked hard to help us. We got our house in the end thanks to the team at iLender, highly recommend, you guys rock!
l*****9 (5572 Thursday, 27 July 2017 )There is no any other broker better than Jeff,He is super man.Choose Jeff ,NO PROBLEM AT ALL.
m********5 (199 Thursday, 27 July 2017 )Nothing special about them really. The requirements they asked for is like a bank and they are not that helpful. If I need to give them 20%-%25 deposit, I may just get a loan from a bank. The advertisement is quite deceitful and they dont provide 90% loan and they do not help self-employed really. Waste of time and not recommended.
Trader responded Thursday, 27 July 2017I'm really sad to read this as we've not had a full application. We certainly do obtain 90% loans and help dozens of self employed people as over 225 reviews on this forum will attest to. Your negative comments are not warranted, however I wish you well for the future and hopefully the lender you select has an easier time!
j*****s (283 Monday, 17 July 2017 )Bruce was fantastic to work with in not only increasing our lending amount but securing a very competitive rate. Highly recommended.
