Meet Stephen and Ramona — and congratulations on your new home!
From their first conversation with Darrin in November to settlement in June, this has been quite the journey. Buying and selling at the same time is no small feat, and navigating two separate transactions to align perfectly at the end takes patience, planning, and the right support.
Stephen and Ramona were referred to dm consult by family who have been clients of Darrin's for many years — and we are so glad they made that call.
Darrin worked closely with them from the very beginning, adapting to their evolving needs and circumstances every step of the way — and it has been an absolute pleasure to be part of it.
Here's to the next chapter in your new home!
Thanks for trusting dm consult with your finance and advice needs.

Kieran's keen!
Meet Kieran
Kieran was given the opportunity to purchase his first home through a private sale — an exciting opportunity, but one that also came with a few complexities along the way.
Like many first-home buyers, he wanted someone in his corner to help guide him through the finance process, explain the moving parts, and support him from start to finish.
Darrin was proud to be part of the journey, helping Kieran secure finance approval and achieve home ownership.
A massive congratulations on this achievement, Kieran, and thank you for the opportunity to help make it happen!
