Filipino living in Manila buys apartment in Melbourne

The Client

Our client saw our webinar and contacted our sales team in Manila.

How We Helped

Living in the Philippines, our client had limited access to finding a mortgage. She contacted GMG from an event we hosted in Manila and reached out to our team based there. She was surprised to hear that "International" mortgages were available, especially in the Philippines. Our team was able to find our client a 30-year loan at 50% loan to value. The entire process was handled without the client leaving the country.

Our client contacted us after seeing our ad on WeChat! Our Chinese-speaking team immediately gained the confidence of the client.

The Client

Our client is Hong Kong businessman who travels to Europe several times a year with his family.

How we Helped

Our client wanted to purchase an apartment in the Golden Triangle, a safe area with good food and “shopping for the wife”, as he puts it. He wasn’t expecting to take out a mortgage but after a referral by his private bank, he realized the rate was too good to pass up. The interest-only option was something that really appealed to him.
