The team at Phone Homes has been amazingly helpful in guiding us on our first personal investment property purchase, by finding us a great property, organising a well structured finance solution and assisting us in our cashflow management through the procurement and build phases. The outcome will be a great step in setting up our family financial security.

PhoneHomes – This is a company that provide a Unique service for people that need help with property investments. Alot of people struggle for a variety reasons why they fall by the wayside in trying to purchase an investment property, some examples; inability to locate positive geared property, purchased negative geared property in areas with no substantial organic growth (Note: I was one of these people, yes I tried but didn’t achieve my Goal) or bought a property with the intention to renovate but due to time & knowledge factors the end goal was never achieved. This is where PhoneHomes shine, I was sceptical at first but after mths of procrastination I decided to make contact & setup a mtg with Ben who convinced me that it was the right decision & yes I wish I had committed 12 – 18mths earlier. Their processes are simple but efficient when sourcing the properties, they have an exhaustive property buying checklist where at least 90% of the criteria must be met otherwise they walk away, its all about the figures with no emotional attachment. If the figures stack up like ie rental return, low vacancy rates, infrastructure government spending, housing shortages etc. then its an area they will target with confidence. The best part of the PhoneHomes service I found is how professional & friendly they are with their members, they take care in making the whole investment a pleasurable experience by providing a Complete End to End Service. They provide the resources like the Finance people, the Solicitors, you are assigned a dedicated PA & they have an Open door policy that you can contact anytime if you have questions or issues you require answers to, they just hold your hand throughout & you can sit back and relax. I’m like many of PhoneHomes satisfied clients, if you are looking for a No fuss service with all of the Bells & whistles then I thoroughly Recommend these guys. Thank you Ben & team, Keep up the Excellent service, I’m looking to my next investment. 😊

After the initial phone call and zoom meeting with Phone homes we were quite happy with how the process sounded. Ours was quite a ride as we were refinancing and selling our home throughout the process but Pamela made the experience very easy and with Ben, Jackson and Amelia always on hand to answer any questions, the entire process was so easy! We are so happy we took the phone call that day, Phone Homes has changed our lives and we are ever so grateful!

Many thanks to Ben, Jackson and the team for finding me a great investment property, but even more for the time and effort needed to work out the best finance option for my circumstances. It look a while, but we got there in the end. I appreciate your advice and help. Update: The team (mainly Ben, Amelia, Jackson and Pamela) have helped me to buy a second wonderful investment property. This time was different – they’ve guided me through setting up a self-managed superannuation fund and then purchasing the property using my super. It was a very quick process – less than three months from my deciding to go ahead with it to property settlement. Many thanks to everyone for all their work, guidance and support – I wouldn’t have been able to do it without PhoneHomes and the others they bring onboard (for super management, insurance, legal advice, property management, etc.).

Ben and Amelia were absolutely fantastic through the whole process. From the initial contact all the way through the whole process. They not only kept us informed and updated but answered any of our questions or concerns promptly and honestly. We now have not only refinanced our existing home but purchased an investment property. So a big thank you to the whole team. A few special mentions one to Jackson who found a property that ticked all the boxes and was to be honest well beyond what we thought we could get for the money. He again kept us in the loop when finding a property suitable for us. Also a special mention to Pamela who organised the two mortgages. As well as sourcing products that suited us rather than the bank. So again thanks to the whole team. Donna and Troy.

Initially we, my wife and I, were hesitant to make a commitment with Phone Homes. They promised the world and we just didn’t believe that it could be as easy as Team outlined. We did some research, talked to various people and came to the conclusion that we would take an educated risk and jumped on board with Phone Homes. We both felt exited but nervous as we had never made an investment like this before. Pleasingly, the process was as easy as the Team promised and there was really no risk – just reward. Thank you Phone Homes our future financial position is much stronger.

Ben, Jackson, Amelia and the team are nothing short of amazing. At first we were a touch apprehensive in purchasing a property over the phone, however let us assure you, if you get the opportunity to travel the journey with Phone Homes, it is an opportunity of a lifetime and I could not recommend the team highly enough. Of course you need to do a bit of groundwork in obtaining documents, however Phone Homes guide you through the whole process of obtaining your own investment property. Ben and his team are a thoroughly professional unit who have vast knowledge of the industry and provide unbelievable support at every step of the way, always responding quickly to any questions or concerns. The only regret we have is not doing this earlier in our lives. Thank you to the Phone Homes team for assisting us in obtaining our first investment property and enhancing our financial security. Darren and Tracey

Really happy with the process of working with phone homes – the whole team have been amazing in the support to ensure we got a hold of a great property. Having invested in property in the past and having had some bad experiences we were reluctant to get into property again. I’m glad we gave phone homes a chance. The process has been easy from start to finish and the support network is amazing.

We could not fault the PhoneHomes Team. For “First Time” Investors, no question was too trivial, and responses given where thorough, and in a timely fashion. When questions came up about the Pest Inspection, they went above and beyond to make sure everything was OK before we proceeded. Cannot Highly Recommend this Team enough if you are thinking about jumping in the “Investment Waters”.

I purchased my first investment property a year and a half ago with Phone Homes. From the first time I spoke to the team I felt confident I was going to be looked after. The team is very knowledgeable and the whole process was smooth from day 1. They litteraly look after everything so it was a really easy process. I am already reaping great rewards form owning my own investment thanks to Phone Homes. Highly recommend.

These guys contacted us 5 years ago. We were not in a position to do anything, so we asked them to call back in a few years. They did. We had been considering various investment options, and their timing was impeccable. Always wary about such contacts, we looked at the presentation. What was shown aligned with our objectives. We decided to take the risk and jump on board. The approval process was great. The Phone Homes team maintained good communication, keeping us informed along each step of the process. Once approved, it was simply a matter of waiting. After a few months we were contacted and informed of a property available in Queensland. We decided to purchase, and that is when things really started moving. The speed and efficiency that everything was organised was incredible. Within 30 days (including 4 public holidays) we were the owners of a new investment property. Kudos to the Phone Home team. Without their assistance we wouldn’t be where we are now.

Would I recommend Phone Homes – 100% yes. I have been a client with them for just over 2 years now and have just secured my 2nd property, like any major purchase or financial change in your life there is some stress that goes along with that – however the Phone Homes team made this process so much less stressful and intimidating than it would have been had I been navigating this alone. Being new to the investment market I was nervous, I had questions and was even dubious to take the first step, however the team have literally walked me through each step in the process for both properties and have always been available to discuss any questions I have. Being a single mum that is very time poor I could never have gotten myself into this position without the help of the team. I am truly grateful for the assistance they have given me and helping me set myself and my daughter up for a more financially stable retirement and future.

Thanks again for finding us our very first investment property. So excited 😊 We feel extremely lucky to have found Phonehomes. Everyone has been so helpful, warm and easygoing. It’s made a huge impact on our life to the point we don’t have to stress about our finances anymore.

The attention to detail in research and market connections the team have are outstanding, we would not have got the same result purchasing independently. The teams knowledge and networking with their core stakeholders to deliver the investment from end to end has been great along with the seamless transition to tenanting the property through a high quality property management team. The service has been excellent and we look forward to continuing to grow our portfolio with the support of the team at Phone Homes.

Geez, What a team to take on your financial future.We are 52-56. We commenced our journey with Phone Homes approximately 12 months ago. We have worked for over 35 years together with still owing a mortgage and wondering how we are going to progress into retirement. We have always wanted to get into the property market, but put our kids first. Since Ben and his amazing team have come on board, within 12 months, we are looking into buying our 3rd investment property. At first you are apprehensive with your first property, however you get to know the professionalism and knowledge that this team have in purchasing property, it’s a ‘no brainer’. We are looking at purchasing our third property and a closer date to a secure retirement. We don’t need to do anything further as we make money whilst we sleep and not work. BOTTOM LINE – the properties Jackson has purchased within the past 12 months have appreciated greatly. We are so stoked. Thank you to Ben and the team, you’re amazing!

We recently completed our first experience with PhoneHomes and while not perfect overall due to lengthy and continual delays in construction and site management through COVID, and the resourcing and materials issues that presented, Ben, Amelia and the team did the best they could in very trying circumstances for everyone. The time from sign up to property handover, ended up being around 2.5 years but they provided monthly updates, listened and understood our position whenever we needed to talk about the issues happening and always went out of their way to lessen the impacts on us when they were able to. Customer service was exemplary, they were accessible, returned calls and emails when they said they would, and managed the situation very well. So, although the entire project definitely had shortcomings, PhoneHomes did a great job and we would use them again.
