Tristan Jones, Eton Estate, Hamilton

I have had the pleasure of working with Ben Friedlander to assist with obtaining finance for a client of mine. I was blown away with the experience. Ben (along with ASAP) showed a lot of passion to find a solution that would fit for our client and enable them to complete their project. The ease of the process through to settlement was also vastly better than anything I have experienced previously. I have worked with a few companies for similar projects over the years and this was the first time I have used Ben and ASAP, I would not hesitate to use them again, in fact they will be the first call I make and will be presented to all of my clients as a viable option going forward. 5 Stars from me!
