OwnHome Avis 

This is a review with a point of difference. It's not from a consumer. Rather, it's from a provider, a broker in fact. I am an independent broker with my own family business, the intermediary between Own Home and consumers.

I don't think there's enough positive noise about the product, and more importantly, the team.

I had hit a massive roadblock back in January with a scenario I was working on, and Tim Harley - one of the head honchos, if not THE head honcho - dropped his tools and reached out to me.

I think that's pretty fishing cool; organisations often get too big and get bogged down with bureaucracy and red tape, creating more layers of staff. This equates to speed to customers, or in my case, speed to brokers.

Tim not only got on Zoom with me, workshopped the numbers past me, but also followed up diligently pre and post-Zoom.

All up, Tim gave me over one hour of his time, over 2-3 day period.

The end game? My clients walked out of my Masterclass session feeling 100% certain they've got a broker they can trust, and OwnHome is a product they can 100% rely on.

Tim - thank you, genuinely.

You should have delegated this job to one of your minions, and focused on the other 2,999 things, but colour me impressed.

You'll hear from me soon :)

From starting our search to having the keys in our hands, Jarrad, Claudia and the team at OwnHome have been exceptional with their transparency, support, guidance and patience with our constant questions. First time buyers and they made the whole process seamless and stress-free. Advocating for us when negotiating prices and ensuring due diligence has been completed for a fair price, we felt like we were in trusted hands the whole time. Thank you, team, for helping us with bridge that deposit gap and getting us into our first home sooner!

My experience with OwnHome has been beyond excellent. The entire team is passionate and committed to helping young Aussies be able to own a home. Ben, Josh and Jarrad were professional yet friendly and always available to answer every question of mine. Home buying is a nerve wracking journey, but it doesn’t have to be as OwnHome handles the stressful and tricky part of the journey while you can enjoy the satisfaction of owning a home.

Found and moved in our property seamless, forever grateful to Claudia great individual to work with .

What an incredible experience! Working with Claudia, Jarrad, and the entire OwnHome Homebuying team was truly fantastic. Having previously gone through the stressful process of buying property, I was amazed at how seamless and reassuring this experience was. OwnHome provided exceptional support, ensuring I secured a high-quality property without overpaying. Their expertise and dedication made all the difference, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Highly recommend!

Jarrad and the whole OwnHome team were incredibly supportive throughout our home-buying journey. They always patiently answered my questions and provided valuable guidance. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy their first home.

Jarrad was absolutely stunning during the whole process! I had so many questions and he answered them very patiently. I would recommend anyone to use Jarrad and OwnHome! I kept them busy for more than a month and they never let me down. They were like a guiding light throughout my whole first home buying journey!

The OwnHome team were great from start to finish, they were helpful, professional & friendly throughout and made such a huge & complicated process so much easier. We are so grateful for all their help, from the initial conversions with Ben guiding us through eligiblity, determining suitable homes with Josh and purchasing with Claudia, all were amazing! We just settled/completed and couldn't be happier, thank you all.

Firstly, thank you OwnHome for just existing. If you earn enough but can’t buy because of the high initial costs, OwnHome is your ticket! On top of that, the people who helped us out were awesome.

Many thanks to Max, Josh, Jarrad and Candice for walking us through every step of the process and making our purchase too easy!

Advice to those who plan on using OwnHome especially first home buyers: Don’t be afraid to ask questions when you think there are grey areas. They are always happy to help you understand the process and what’s needed.

Thank you to the OwnHome team. As expats with only a relatively small amount of savings for the crazy Sydney house prices we always thought owning a home here would be too far out of reach. The team helped make dreams a reality and were amazing through the complete journey. Special credit to Ben in starting us out and to Claudia in taking us under her wing and reassuring us along the way.
I would 100% recommend anyone to check out OwnHome and I have been doing too!

This company is a blessing for first-home buyers. The premium attached to their services is worth every cent, they take the load off by helping you through all the pesky paperwork so you can keep inspections and the place you want to live in at the top of mind. My settlement just went through and my partner and I couldn't be happier with their service. 🎉🎉

Thanks to ownhome I have managed to purchase a property that would have been out of my reach. Working with Jarrad was great. The team was responsive and helped me as best they could where they needed to.

It’s safe to say without OwnHome, we would not have been able to buy our first home in the Sydney market. From the first contact through to the end of the process, the team are friendly, professional, energetic and positive which eliminated any concerns or anxiety about our biggest life purchase. If you meet their eligibility requirements, OwnHome is a perfect partner to help you with your deposit and navigating the daunting task of buying your first property in Australia.

Using OwnHome was seamless. The team are fabulous and meant no need to deal with shady real estate agents. Can’t thank them enough- especially Claudia.

If the biggest hurdle holding you back from a house is the initial deposit, these guys are worth taking a look at, they make it super affordable to kick off your house purchase.
Ps, they sent me a really nice box of assorted cookies so their customer service is on point.

Thanks to Ben, he was really helpful

It was absolutely amazing working with Ownhome, starting my journey with a quick Q&A, understanding my situation and what I want out of the process. That initial meeting inform me with the high level understanding how OwnHome works who then introduced me to Claudia. Claudia, Jarrad and their team stood by me while I looked for homes, were patient with all my decisions and consistently kept me both informed with purchasing things I did not know as a first home buyer and in high spirits when things didn't go my way. Then working with Tom and Nathan, I got all my ducks in a row with picking a bank to mortgage with and as of September 2024, I finally moved into my first home. Thank you everyone for making the journey fun, joyful and informative! Could not recommend you enough.

Waste of time - It is just a marketing gimmick. Please do not share any of your information with these people before you talk to them. They are just like any other brokers and have build funnel to grab all your financial details. To the founder - Clearly mention that this product is for new home buyers and not for people who already have property portfolio. This marketing gimmick will not work. You are wasting our time and collecting sensitive documents.

Thank you Own Home - particularly Bridget and Claudia! With your help we were able to buy a property much faster than we thought possible! You provide a fantastic service and we hope you continue to help lots more people make home ownership accessible without an overly large deposit. (Emma and Daniel)

I recently had the opportunity to use Ownhome to buy my first home in Melbourne, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in several ways.

The user interface of Ownhome is incredibly intuitive. From the moment you sign up, the platform guides you seamlessly through each step of the process. Everything is clean and smooth - uploading documents, playing around with the repayment calculator and the BEST feature - the home finder.

Ownhome offers outstanding customer service. The representatives are knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely interested in helping you find the best home for your needs.

Special mention to Ben and Claudia for their exceptional service to us during our home buying journey. Simply amazing service levels!!

Transparency is a key factor in any home-buying process, and Ownhome excels in this area. All fees, costs, and terms are clearly outlined upfront, so there are no unpleasant surprises. This level of clarity builds trust and confidence in the service.

One of the most stressful aspects of purchasing a house is engaging with different real estate agents and negotiating terms with them for the property. Ownhome takes away this problem and deals with all the agents keeping the customer first always. Our experience with Claudia being our buyers agent was exceptional and she got us a real good deal!

In conclusion, Ownhome is a comprehensive, user-friendly, and transparent platform that makes the home-buying process smoother and more enjoyable. Their commitment to customer service, range of financing options, and innovative use of technology set them apart in the industry. I would highly recommend Ownhome to anyone looking to purchase a home.

We started the year thinking we were still years away from having our deposit saved. Fast forward a couple of months and the team at OwnHome have us moving into our first property in 3 weeks time. The company, particularly Claudia, Bridget and Josh supported and guided us through the entire process, keeping us on track with signings, document and information collection and always available to answer 'dumb' questions!
We could not recommend working with OwnHome highly enough and will forever be grateful for the life-changing opportunity this company have enabled.
