Bianca and the Calculated Lending team are truly exceptional and come with our highest recommendation. We have relied on Bianca as our mortgage broker for over 10 years, and her service remains unparalleled. She consistently upholds the highest level of professional integrity and honesty - a rare find. Throughout every financing process, Bianca ensures consistent, clear communication, making complex matters easy to understand. She has repeatedly gone above and beyond, thoroughly addressing all our questions and meeting urgent deadlines, from purchasing our first home to negotiating ongoing interest rates and securing investment properties. Bianca is a wealth of knowledge and has covered us for every scenario imaginable. Even post-settlement, her follow-up is proactive, ensuring a smooth transition and optimal financial outcomes. If you are looking for a reliable, honest, and expert broker, Bianca is the only choice.

Tracey Watkins and Bianca Patterson were a pleasure to work with. From our first contact with Bianca to explore our options as first home buyers, to me calling Tracey first thing on a Monday morning in a frantic search for help to submit an offer on a house we found, Tracey worked tirelessly and promptly to help me understand and organise everything. Tracey gave clear, consistent, and timely feedback to ensure our purchase went smoothly. Tracey was crucial to our offer being accepted, guiding us through every step until we received our keys and even after we settled in. By far, the best service and genuine care I have experienced in ages, turning what could have been a stressful process into an exciting journey. I look forward to working with Tracey and Calculated Lending for many years to come.

We recently worked with Tracey Watkins from Calculated Lending as we were embarking on the daunting journey of buying a new home. From the outset Tracey came across as very proactive, leaving no stone turn unturned. Tracey is well organised, empathetic and went over and above what we would typically expect. She helped ease what is typically a very stressful process so I would strongly recommend Tracey and the Calculated Lending team for those seeking help with their next home loan.

Need a finance broker, your search stops here. It is a very rare thing these days to be able to find someone who absolutely has your back. We recently had the pleasure of working with Bianca to secure a mortgage, and the entire experience was absolutely flawless from start to finish. Their professionalism, support, and guidance throughout the process were second to none. As first-time buyers, we had a lot of questions, but nothing was ever too much trouble. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we understood each step along the way. Their calm and confident approach helped ease any anxiety we had, and they truly made what can often be a stressful process feel seamless. We are incredibly grateful for their dedication and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for expert financial advice and services. Thank you again for helping get us into the market, our own house, with a very pleasing mortgage product, allowing us to take this big step with confidence!

I have been fortunate to use the professional services of Tracey for a number of years. As always, the friendly and expert advice was valuable, and the process seamless and efficient as a result of Tracey's knowledge and her above and beyond customer service. I can't recommend this business more highly and wouldn't go anywhere else!
