I have always found the service of Smartline efficient, prompt and friendly. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Bob was extremely helpful and any problem I had he fixed it immediately. When all the paperwork was finished he personally dropped it off to the bank as he knew the urgency of getting the loan through. I can't thank him enough for all his efforts. Very happy indeed.
Wendy

Bob McFarlane has helped us several times over the last 9 years and we have recommended him to many other people. Wouldn't even think of doing it ourselves or using anyone else. Bob is always friendly, courteous, helpful, punctual, informed and patient - hope he doesn't retire for a long time - well, at least for our sake!

Bob provided us with a friendly, professional and efficient service in sourcing our mortgage. We have used his services in the past and will do so in the future. I have no hesitation in recommending Bob to anyone. I regularly do so, to my friends and associates.

We found Smartline (Bob McFarlane) to be very professional, helpful and responsive to our needs. He ensures he understands the situation before recommending products or services and does look after the customer, not the shareholder, which is a pleasant change in this shareholder focused environment.
Thanks.
Alison and Ralph

We didn't think that in this economic climate it would be this easy to get a home loan. Smartline did all the paperwork and made it simple to buy our first home.
Michael

Due to poor advice from another mortgage provider my wife and I were left with a major problem in financing the build of our home. After being recommended to us by a friend, Bob assisted us greatly and quickly organised our loan. He was totally professional in his advice. Bob has since assisted us further with other financial areas resulting in a positive outcome for us. We will continue to contact Smartline, and Bob, for any future financial advice.

My only dealings with Smartline have always been with Bob MacFarlane, who is a very thorough and reliable representative of your service.

I like the after hours service as most of us are working till late and also can't afford to spend hours in the bank. Thanks Bob from Smartline for providing the excellent service.
Steven

I liked the way Bob kept in touch right through the loan negotiation and signing process. He rang to make sure everything had worked smoothly and when there were corrections required to the address, he liaised with the bank. Smartline have been there each time I've needed to get loans for both private home and investment houses. Great work.
