Mel and Rod's testimonial

My partner and I have been together for 10 years, and we have finally been able to achieve the great aussie dream due to the help of Belinda and Marc from We Buy Sell Rent.  For ten years, we rented house-after-house with our kids, struggling to get bond money each time the landlords sold the houses from under our feet.

 The last straw was when our second last rental home went on the property market for sale, again.  We both decided that this was going to be the last time that we would pay dead rent money. We tried to get a bank loan, but we were knocked back due to having not enough deposit.

So we moved out of town (as it was too hard to get a rental in town), so we could try to save for the deposit, but this was going to be a long process, as we had three kids to look after.  Plus, being out of town, we had huge petrol bills to get the eldest to school, plus Mel wasn’t able to work as it was too challenging to work in town while trying to juggle the kids back at home out of town. 

We were at the stage of giving up.  Then we got given Belinda’s contact number by a friend, and the rest is history!  You made our dream come true.  Now we have got our lives back to ourselves.  We are stoked.   We can enjoy life now, as we can do what we want to do, when we want to do it, rather than being stuck out of town.  The kids are enjoying themselves, and Connor can go to school easy.  There is no more driving in the rain during our travels from out of town.

You have been so lovely to deal with.  You are very easy to communicate with, unlike the banks.  We had direct contact with you, so we weren’t just a number, we had personalised friendly service.

The best part of the whole process was getting the keys to our new house.   Also, the response was so quick!  When we applied with Belinda, we went away camping for a few days, and returned to a couple of voice messages with the good news about our successful qualification.  We felt really important when we heard the messages upon our return, and jumped up and down, overwhelmed by the news.  Then, before we new it, we were collecting the key to our new home, knowing that no one could sell this home from under us. 

I know this sounds a little silly, but I can park my car on the grass, and not have a property manger to tell me to park it on the road!  Also, there is no property manager to tell me I can’t have a dog!  We really enjoy not having to answer to real estate agents.  It is a relief to know we will never have to complete a rental application again.

Now that we are in town, Mel can go back to work, improving our financial position.  When we combine this with the huge amount we are saving on fuel, and the capital growth that we make, we are way in front, benefiting the kids.  We now have a strong financial future ahead of us, and inheritance for the kids.

I recommend you guys to everyone!!  All the time.  I recommended my sister-in-law straight away, who is in the process of getting a home with you.  She is just as excited as us.  It doesn’t hurt to pick up the phone and make the call to see if you can qualify.  It took me a week to call, as I was scared of being knocked back again.  But I wish I called straight away, as I could of got into my home one week earlier!

Thank you for giving us the chance to own our own home.  You have made us one of the happiest families ever!

Mel and Rod, Dubbo.
