We had an amazing experience with Reece. He made the whole process really easy and straightforward. He was always easy to communicate with, quick to respond to any questions we had and took the time to explain everything clearly. Buying our first block of land felt like a big process at first but he made everything simple and stress-free and kept us updated throughout. We couldn’t recommend him enough and would definitely use him again in the future. Thanks again for all your help.

We highly recommend Ocean Edge Finance, especially Reece, who was outstanding throughout our home-buying journey. From start to finish, he made the process easy, informative and stress-free. Over the six months we spent competing in a challenging market, Reece consistently kept us updated on our finance options for every offer we submitted. His communication was always prompt, clear and professional, giving us confidence every step of the way. When our offer was finally accepted, Reece had our formal finance approval secured within just 10 days, helping everything move forward smoothly and without unnecessary delays. A huge thank you to Reece and the entire Ocean Edge Finance team for their exceptional service, expertise and support. We couldn't be happier with the experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

Highly recommend Ocean Edge Finance. I was referred through family friends and couldn’t have been happier with the service I got from Reece Hogan. He was incredibly helpful throughout the entire mortgage process. Always friendly, happy to answer any questions and kept me informed every step of the way. He made what is already a stressful process feel straightforward and gave me all the information and guidance I needed to get my loan approved. I’m so grateful for all his help and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a mortgage broker 😄

Reece is amazing! We have used Reece for at least the last 6 years. So much help navigating home loans and refinancing. I would not trust anyone else. Communication is very on point and you know what is going on every step of the way. Even with the 100 questions I have i always get a response very quickly.
