Karen OrnopiaAs a first home buyer, we had an amazing experience with Settle Easy. The journey started back in Aug. 2021 with Jelena and our account was then handled by Samantha & Natalie recently. Free contract review, prompt email/call response, sound portal interface were the highlights that I share to some friends in the future.
Will RichardsI had a seemless experience as a first home buy with Settle Easy. The free contract review was a useful tool and Natalie guided me through the entire process. I've recommended to a few friends.
David OxnamWe purchased interstate and off the plan and found Settle Easy very helpful. In the pre purchase due diligence we escalated and sought help from a senior consultant and got sound and thorough advice. The web site is a great tool and settlement went without a hitch with strong support from Natalie and Samantha even over the Christmas break. We recommend this service as cost effective, tech savvy, and professionally sound. David and Kathryn
