Lekha dai and active mortgage Made the Process of buying home so easyWorking with active mortgage was one of the best decisions we made during our first home-buying journey. From the very beginning, they were knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly responsive. They took the time to explain every option, walked us through the numbers in a way that made sense, and helped us secure a fantastic rate that fit our budget.What truly set active mortgage apart was their dedication and clear communication. They kept us updated at every stage, handled all the details behind the scenes, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We always felt supported and confident knowing they were working in our best interest.Thanks to Lekha gurung dai, we were able to move into our new home without any surprises or delays. We couldn’t be more grateful for their expertise and professionalism.Highly recommend Active mortgage to anyone looking for a trustworthy and top-notch mortgage broker!

5 Star for Mr. Lekha and his team. We have been to many brokers and they were not able to help us in getting for our First Home because we've got kids. Until my friend recommended this agency. They helped me from scratch until we finally settled our property. Lekha was so accommodating and he explained to me everything which is a good thing for a first time home buyers like me. Even though he was on a holiday in a cruise, he was still able to communicate me as he always valued his clients. I definitely, recommend this agency, IF OTHER BROKERS CAN'T HELP YOU WELL THIS BROKER CAN!!! God bless Active Mortgage & Finance Pty Ltd.

I came to know about Active Mortgage from my neighbour and called them to help me with my refinancing. The strategy Lekha and team adopted was to value our properties through a number of bank before applying to protect our credit rating while serving our purpose of getting maximum equity out of our newly purchased property. The communication of the team was superb throughout the entire process.I will highly recommend Active Mortgage as your mortgage solution and I am confident the team will not let you down.
