We would like give a huge thank you to Des for his constant (and without doubt, very time consuming) determination in obtaining a re-mortgage for us. In spite of the number of different issues that our present financial circumstances presented us with – (and it did for a while seem like it was ‘one thing after another’) we got there. Throughout the process Des always remained positive that we would ‘get there in the end’ and he was right - we did! Des, you are a true professional, determined to never let the little ‘set backs’ get in your way and finish the job you started. We would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone we know looking for a mortgage or re-mortgage and also for the insurance for the mortgage protection which was sorted quickly and efficiently. Thanks so much for all your effort.
Response : Thanks, Dawn. It's always a pleasure to help very nice people achieve their ambitions.

As an Independent Financial Adviser my reputation is at risk if I refer a client to a broker who does not undertake best advice and due diligence in the services and recommendations made. Rest assured, if you use the services of Des Tourick, you will not be disappointed and will receive a professional, competitive recommendation and first class service.
Response : Thanks Ivan, you nearly made me blush !

We recently completed our re-mortgage with 1st Call 4 Mortgages on our family home with satisfaction. Initially we looked at a number of brokers plus my bank with whom I have a long and good track record. We knew our situation was complex especially in these difficult financial times with “goal posts” moving at a speed and with bureaucracy on the up. We soon decided to use Des of 1st Call 4 Mortgages as our broker. He showed the tenacity, persistently and clear thoughts about how to reach our objective along with thinking outside the box. Having the main principal working on ones behalf, and that he knew the full circumstances, gave us confidence especially when matters looked difficult. Together we reached our goal. It’s a 2 year arrangement so we will be looking at a similar situation within 24 months and no doubt Des will be investigating what’s best suitable for us in advance.

I used Des to obtain a mortgage for me. He did this quickly and efficiently. As a true professional, Des asked all the right questions and from there he found the best mortgage for us and delivered the product in a timely fashion. I would happily recommend Des to anyone seeking a mortgage who wants a good deal arranged in a highly professional manner.

I have known Des for over 20 years now and in the time he has never failed to get me a great deal whether it be for a mortgage, life assurance, critical illness, mortgage protection etc. He has always been helpful and courteous and, quite frankly, head and shoulders above any other financial advisor I have had contact with. I would not hesitate in recommending his services to anyone seeking good, proficient financial advice.

Desmond is an exceptional mortgage broker. He helps people to find the best possible deals even if it takes quite a lot of his time. Helping people in situations where other brokers would refuse to help. Very experienced, trustworthy, efficient, patient. I am very happy that I have asked Desmond to find me a mortgage. If you are looking for a broker you can trust, definitely, give Desmond a call.

"In the complex and extremely competitive markets of mortgages and insurance, I found that 1st Call 4 Mortgages an exception in the rule. The advice was second to none; their support totally took away the pressures of finding and getting a mortgage; and their commitment at finding the right mortgage for me was impressive. ""1st Call 4 Mortgages supported me throughout the whole mortgage process. From the onset, 1st Call 4 Mortgages took time to explain the market and advise me about the different mortgages on the market. After my application to my mortgage lender, 1st Call 4 Mortgages were still there to advise and support. Their approach to offer support after my mortgage acceptance is truly exemplary. My wife and I feel that 1st Call 4 Mortgages took almost all of the burdens and pressures of such a complicated business from us. ""I can honestly say that discovering a company such as 1st Call 4 Mortgages in such a cut and thrust business was is a real find. Well done.".

I first met Des 20+ years ago and and again he was on hand recently to help me out with my re-mortgage. Des has previously looked after my future needs, i. E. My pension, critical illness cover, income protection plan and life plan. He has also helped other members of my family with their future financial needs. He goes to great length to make sure that his client gets the right product. After a while, he's becomes part of the family. But above all, he is a gentleman. I will refer him to all my friends and family. I wish him all the best. .

“I would like to thank 1st Call 4 Mortgages for your massive effort in obtaining a re-mortgage for me in spite of the difficulties that my history presented, and lets face it, there were many! You are a true professional, un-phased by set back and determined to succeed. I'm sure I could not have received such help and advice from anywhere else. I've been recommending you to everyone I know. Thanks once again. ”.

As first time buyers, my wife and I are utter novices. From the very beginning, 1stcall4mortgages put our minds at rest with the answers to the plethora of questions we bombarded Des Tourick with. The advice given was sound and the options we could take were fully explained so we could make decisive decisions, confident it was the right way forward. Des worked tirelessly to find the mortgages that fit our criteria and we are very comfortable with the mortgage we chose. Communications have been great, we've been informed every step of the way and reassured of the rest of the process. We have and will continue to recommend 1stcall4mortgages to anyone and will be back when the time comes!

1st Call 4 Mortgages are professional, highly proficient and experienced mortgage advisors. They showed total commitment and responded to all calls and emails without delay. They were able to negotiate a mortgage at an much lower rate than any other mortgage advisor had advised was their "best offer". Will definitely use them again!
