A Note From Martin Walmsley, Principal Broker
It’s hard to believe it’s almost the end of the year already… and what a year it’s been!

As always, I can also be contacted on0435 134 680 or by email at marty@nbshomeloans.com.au if you require any assistance during this period.

SPOTLIGHT ON VISION 21 REAL ESTATE
From time to time, NBS Home Loans works with other businesses in the finance and property industries to assist our clients. In this newsletter, we’d like to introduce another of our industry colleagues: Vision 21, a boutique real estate business based in Sydney’s Hills District.
People buy property for a range of reasons – investing for retirement; creating a financial safety net; or putting down roots, becoming part of a community, and building a home. Whatever your property needs, Vision 21 will provide you with a no-pressure sales experience, encouraging you to ask questions and realise your real estate vision.
Specialising in house and land packages and off-the-plan sales, they cater to first home buyers, owner-occupiers, or investors alike. They aim to make building a house an easy process where your interests and needs are foremost in all decisions. Vision 21 will guide you through the entire process and can work with NBS Home Loans to help arrange your finances.
If you are looking for that dream home or your next investment, please visit the Vision 21 website here or contact the team at NBS Home Loans directly for an introduction.
