Ryan O’Hare, CEO

"I’m more than happy to provide a testimonial for Chris and the team at Alcove. They’re all legends, and they’ve made me and my family’s lives better through association with them. Chris, Ben and team have partnered with my wife and I to purchase 3 properties in the last 5 years. I say ‘partner’ cos that’s what they’ve done. There can’t be better firms than these guys out there. Give them whatever award you have, and more."

Owen Raszkiewicz, Founder, The Rask Group

“Alcove saved us: we had seven days to settle and no loan approval. They got the deal done and the team have been the long-term partner for the whole Rask business since 2022”

Lucy Briggs, Head of Marketing, Schroders

“As a broker Alcove help demystify and lighten the mortgage process; but as an advice partner they are so much more - helping us debate areas, properties and strategies to secure the future we want”

Carlos Cacho, Economist, Macquarie Group

“Alcove have been our go-to for understanding the mortgage and property market, and have personally provided my family with complex mortgage strategy advice for many years”

Bryce Leske, Co-Founder Equity Mates

“Alcove challenged our thinking on many levels; stopping us from buying the wrong property and ultimately, helping us buy the right one”

Amy, Operations Lead, First Home Buyer

“Alcove helped us buy our first home while navigating a move outside of Sydney. It was confusing to know what to do, but they gave us the confidence to make it happen”

Chris, Ben and the team have always been terrific. Professional, prompt and practical. I would highly recommend their services as mortgage brokers.

Working with Jon and Siju has been a game changer after working with less than satisfactory brokers in the past. Communication skills and knowledge is second to none, putting us at ease during stressful times. Thanks Jon & Siju

We worked with Alicia who guided us through our first ever morgage. She was knowledgeable, quick with responses and generally a pleasure to work with.

We obtained our Reverse Mortgage via Heartland with the excellent assistance of our Broker, Mr. Andrew Dihm of Alcove. Andrew's patience and attention to detail was truly excellent, and his efforts made the entire application a simple and straightforward experience. Thank you, Andrew. That job, well done!
