What were the circumstances that caused you to initially look for an adviser?

My husband and I were looking to purchase our first home and needed a mortgage broker, Josh came through a recommendation from a friend who had recently purchased their first home.

How has Joshua Brown helped you?

Josh was attentive, communicative and very responsive. He was able to walk us both through the process and demystified a lot of the more obtuse aspects of this process. My husband and I moved to the UK 5 years ago so we weren't familiar with the process here, but Josh made clarified a lot of it and made us feel like we were in good hands.
