Lionel is proactive when it comes to explaining the differences between home loans offered by the various banks. We are pleased to receive a proper explanation table outlining the pros and cons which enabled easy comparison and decision-making. He is also very accommodating during urgent follow-ups and extremely helpful in supporting us while we work towards a challenging situation during approvals and settlements. I’ve actually stumbled upon Lionel’s property market review and was impressed with his knowledge and understanding of the market within his fingertips hence I’ve approached him to discuss further on obtaining our home loan and never turned back. Moving forward, we will look upon Lionel’s advice on best options when we venture into refinancing in the near future. – Jan 2020 -- Ashley Choo | Market Manager

I met Lionel several years ago in front of a property inspection. Yes, I was looking for properties for years, on and off. And Lionel followed me up for YEARS without being too pushy. So I must say he is extremely patient. On top of this, Lionel seems love what he does, and therefore super passionate and replies my msgs nearly 24 x 7, which made me stress-free during the property purchase process. Last but mostly importantly, Lionel got me a decent loan with good amount and interest rate. The loan settled pretty quickly. So, in all, I think Lionel is a good broker and worth recommending and I did to my friends! – Nov 2019

My settlement was early this year (Feb, 2018) and I needed to obtain a bank loan sometime in December, 2017. it wasn’t great timing as it was a few days away from the Christmas holidays. Also, I was not familiar with the housing loan application process. Lionel was amazing in getting me the best deal for my loan but he manage to get it down before Christmas! His knowledge and attention to detail gave me the comfort (and stress-free) that I was getting the best deal and I knew I was well taken care of.

Lionel worked for InvoCare from March to May 2014 as part of a Navitas internship. His internship was to introduce him to the organisation and how it operates and assist me in my role as Budgeting, Planning & Forecast manager in a number of areas. The key areas he covered were:- • Familiarizing himself with the latest OLAP tools including finance and operational information from TM1 & Cognos 10 Enterprise • Further developing his skills in Excel to produce reports for distribution to the business and understanding the importance of presentation of such information and the user’s needs • Assisting in the production of Customer Surveys reports and the consolidation of the information to report to the funeral business in a timely manner • Collating and inputting market intelligence to allow the production of market share data for IVC operations by country, state and region utilizing both primary and secondary sources to gather the relevant data Lionel was certainly hard working and eager to learn and was very easy to get along with and had quickly built up a good repour with others around him in the organisation. He articulated himself very well both verbally and written and would ask the right questions to tasks given to him where appropriate. – June 2014
