   I received the keys to my first home 2 days ago. This would not be possible without the guidance, assistance and constant communication from Brendan O'Brien and his colleague Leigha. I bought a house on my own, work as a nurse, and also completing a masters so this was a very busy time in my life. I honestly could not have done this process without them. Their professionalism, attention to detail and flexibility is a credit to finance solutions. They both display excellent interpersonal skills by providing me with constant updates which kept me on my toes! They should be so proud that they brought me happiness in my new home. Brendan was recommended to me by a friend and since my positive stress free experience, I have recommended him to my brother and friends. Thank you so much Brendan and Leigha.
   

1. Top class advice & outstanding customer service

   Brendan & Leigha / Mortgage

   
   I can't say enough good words about Brendan & Leigha. I'm so grateful to them both for guiding us through the mortgage process. From my interactions with Brendan throughout all the stages of mortgage application / AIP review / life insurance etc., you could tell he was someone who genuinely cared about his clients and had their best interests at heart. This, coupled with his in-depth knowledge of the industry and personable demeanour made me feel in safe hands right from the get go. Not only did I get the mortgage that I needed, but I got it at a great rate over a term I was comfortable with. In the later stages, Leigha was fantastic at chasing up what needed to be done in terms of document requirements, home insurance, ad-hoc tasks, etc. She was on the ball with everything, quick to reply to emails, and always empathetic when I needed to call her for something. I'm delighted to say, we now have our keys to a fab house in an area we love. I would recommend Finance Solutions to anyone looking to make their home buying journey as smooth, financially savvy, and efficient as possible. Fiona (Lucan, Dublin)

1. Made the entire process so manageable

   Brendan O'Brien/ Leigha Edwards

   
   We can't thank Brendan and Leigha enough for making what we thought would be a daunting and overwhelming period, the most manageable and seamless process possible. From the very initial steps, Brendan was right with us to help with any of the many questions we had and provide a responsive and proactive answer. Once we reaching the loan offer stage Leigha was fantastic in helping us with next steps, talking us through what we needed to do and generally supplying a understanding ear! Rare to find a business these days with high efficiency & such a human touch. I would highly recommend Finance Solutions to anyone searching for a broker.
   

1. So Helpful & Supportive

   Brendan has been absolutely brilliant with supporting me through my mortgage process. It was a particularly complicated one but Brendan was always on hand to support & guide me through it & then the other admin staff like Leigha were just as fantastic. I can't recommend them highly enough.

1. Superb service and support

   Emma Rose and Terry Murray, Portlaoise

   
   From start to finish Brendan was a wealth of information for us. We had previously gone to banks directly with our mortgage application and were completely overwhelmed with the process. Brendan guided us from the start all the way through to completion. From different mortgage offers to life insurance and we always felt the advice was genuine and for out best interests. I would definitely recommend Brendan and finance solutions as they make what could be an intimidating process a clear and concise and personable experience!
   

1. Brendan's expert guidance to our first home

   Bharath and Harini from Maynooth

   
   We got in touch with Brendan around December 2019 when we were exploring if we should buy a house, and after a year of his constant support and guidance , we have moved into our beautiful home ! With a baby on the way , the pandemic and all the economic uncertainty, we are so glad to have had Brendan's expertise to help us get a mortgage and guide us through . They broke down the entire complicated and daunting process of getting a mortgage, legal steps involved after finding the property, getting the necessary insurance, and finally getting the keys, into many simple steps and were there throughout. Most friendly and approachable, Brendan and team are amazing professionals with immense knowledge and research in the field. We cannot thank and recommend them highly enough ! For anybody who is planning to get into the home owning ladder, it's never too early or late to get in touch with them. Thanks you so much Brendan ! When you are around in Maynooth, you are most welcome to our home !

   Brendan and his team are fantastic, they were always available to discuss my queries (that were many!) all the way through the process. They are extremely professional, helpful and so pleasant to deal with. I definitely recommend them to anyone that wants to make their dream to have a home come true! Thanks again Brendan and the team! Lione
   

1. Great service

   Guilherme and Mariana, Naas, Co. Kildare

   
   We got to Brendan/Finance Solutions through the a friend's recommendation and were not disappointed. We've bought our house during the pandemic, which was a concern to us but Brendan helped us to navigate the process without any issues. He was always responsive via e-mails (we've completed 95% of the steps only via emails - hassle free) but when necessary he setup Zoom call for us to meet remotely too. We would strongly recommend going through the process with Brendan/Finance Solutions help - you get to see exactly which the banks offer you and can choose the most suitable option - doing the same thing manually would take a lot of time and stress. Thank you Brendan and team for your assistance with our house purchase - we've already moved in at this point and are very happy with it - early Christmas present to our family!

   Catriona and Stephen, Dublin 9

   
   We had the pleasure of dealing with Brendan from the start of our mortgage journey to getting our keys. Right from the start Brendan provided us with the information and advice needed to get us mortgage ready and gave us all the information required to make an informed decision on our provider. Drawing down a mortgage during Covid had its challenges and throughout the whole process Brendan provided us with the support and patience required. Due to the service received it was an easy decision to use Finance Solutions for our mortgage protection options. We highly recommend Brendan and would definitely use Finance Solutions in the future.

1. Mortgage Approved

   Nicole O Callaghan

   
   Using Finance Solutions to gain mortgage approval made buying our home a whole lot easier. Both my husband and I were kept well informed throughout the whole process. As a contractor, I was concerned that gathering the paperwork was going to be arduous. We also had the additional challenge of seeking approval during the Covid 19 pandemic. While the Banks requested further documentation to review our application, Brendan guided us through al the details involved. I would certainly recommend using Brendan’s expertise & knowledge based on my personnel experience

   Ashish & Stefi (Adamstown, Dublin)

   
   🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 You guys deserve a seven star rating. Will highly recommend for anyone looking for a mortgage or any other financial advice. Brendan took care of our mortgage application. Ours was a difficult one, as we had to renew twice due to delay in closing but Brendan made the process so easy for us with his professional approach and wonderful knowledge of the field. Wayne took care of our closing process and made it real quick with his prompt response to bank’s requirements. We can’t thank you guys enough. Thanks a million for helping us to make our dreams come true.
   

1. Creative solutions found to a knotty problem

   Dermot Dublin 8

   
   Brendan was amazing - I had a really difficult situation, facing eviction from a rented home of many years being put on the market, and the only way I could keep my home was by getting a mortgage. I was much too old, too little savings, and completely unprepared to deal with the banks. Brendan to the rescue! He was daunted at the beginning but didn't give up, and he worked out a creative way to get me a mortgage and for me to save my home. Eternally grateful to him and Wayne for their patience, perseverance, and for making it solid enough to withstand the shivers of the pandemic. Thanks so much!
   

1. Excellent Service

   Suzanne and Shane Cotter, Goatstown, Dublin 14

   
   Brendan worked absolute miracles in getting us the finance we needed to get the house of our dreams. He was lovely to deal with and extremely efficient. He never delayed us at any stage and gently reminded us when we needed to follow up with something. I couldn't recommend him highly enough, in fact I've already done so to a few of my friends who have also been happy with his service. Thanks Brendan, you're great!

   Brendan helped us with our mortage application from the very start to getting our keys. He was fantastic - efficient, helpful and very approachable. I would recommend Finance Solutions to anybody, especially first time buyers like oursleves as the market is such a mindfield and we didn't know where to start. The whole process was made easier for both of us. Thanks again Brendan.

   I had the pleasure of dealing with Brendan while getting my mortgage approval. I'm a first-time buyer, so there were many questions during the whole process. Brendan was very professional, helpful, but what's even more important he was on the ball the whole time. He would send me updates on everything, even while he was on his annual leave! Always happy to give a piece of advice and go the extra mile. I collected keys to my new home only 3 months after I have submitted my application- pretty amazing. I would recommend Brandan, Wayne and Finance Solutions team to anyone. % star service all the way. Thank you so much again!!! Agnieszka
   

1. Anca Vraciu, Dublin

   
   I picked up the keys to my first home today, only a few days before Christmas and I couldn't thank Brendan & Wayne enough for making this happen. I received Brendan's contact as a recommendation through a friend and could not have been happier. He was more than happy to answer all my questions and concerns that I did have given this was my first home purchase. Brendan's high degree of knowledge of the mortgage market was evident from the beginning of the process. He was able to custom tailor a plan to fit my needs and at the best rates available. He secured me a great rate and followed up throughout the whole process to ensure everything went smoothly. I would highly recommend using him as he not only simplifies the process making your life easier but will save you a significant amount of money. I am more than happy to recommend their services to all my friends and family and will definitely use their services again in the future. I truly appreciate all your help guys.
   

1. Outstanding - every step of the way!

   Hazel and Shane - Dublin

   
   We cannot thank Brendan and Wayne enough for all of their hard work in securing our mortgage. We absolutely could not have done this without them. Our situation wasn't exactly straight forward however, Brendan is extremely knowledgeable and astute, and thankfully he pinpointed the right path for us. The team are also really responsive and were always friendly in replying to our mountain of questions and obstacles. If you are between minds about trying to do this yourself or by engaging with a broker, I strongly recommend to just go ahead and contact Brendan without hesitation. Thanks again guys!

   Gerard, Dublin

   
   Hi Brendan, just a note to let you know that we picked up the keys to our new house last week and would like to thank you and your team for all your help over the last few months. Having trusted, committed professionals managing every step of what can be a complicated process was definitely a game changer for us compared to dealing directly with financial institutions which I had done previously. Thanks also to Ciara for her responsiveness and efficiency and ensuring that everything was in order to meet the scheduled close date. Would be glad to recommend you to anyone looking to secure a mortgage for a property.
