Their genuine and just helpful, that’s rare today in itself they listen and don’t talk crap and told us a list of places that would suit us and why others wouldn’t, then they cut it down to what were the best ones for me now my wife passed, money was tight and they worked hard to save me around $12,000 getting me in there that’s a lot of money, so then I could get some new furniture really for free, I truly believe they had my best interest at heart, rather than just trying to sell us a unit, there was no pressure at all, so why not get their help .

– David. Gold Coast QLD.

It was a breath of fresh air to have someone who offered to help us and to actually save us money, they gave the pros and cons about all the different villages in simple plain English that was half the battle at these villages, there’s was so much information to take in and understand. They all seem the same on the surface but they’re not.

This comparison service helped us all the way and saved us so much time driving about and then having to go through the same sales talks as the last one and they only tell you all the good stories anyway and don’t always tell you all the things we should know that we didn’t think of at the time, We’d rather know it all upfront because if you don’t it will cost you.

We’ve told a few friends to use this service now, it makes a big difference.

– Annette and Bill T. NSW.

We first heard about this from a friend who they had helped it seemed to just make sense, they really helped us focus on what type of village was best for us and you know it became clear that the ones we liked really weren’t the best ones for us in the long run, they took away all the confusing information we had and made it easy, they got us a villa that’s just perfect for us and can relax, so we’re really happy.

– Mary & John. VIC.

Our whole family was so confused, and we wasted so much time collecting brochures the truth is there is so some many different options and offers out there – retirement villages certainly aren’t all the same.

Hey, they’re all very nice as they should be for the price but they’re also very, very different…we were going around in circles and Mum and Dad were so anxious and totally confused that we almost gave up and decided not to move them because it was just too hard to compare them all totally independently, we all know the salespeople’s job is to convince us to buy theirs.

This service was great, they take the time to really understand what we all really needed and didn’t need, it just took all that stress away, and it was so helpful for us.

– Robyn and John. QLD.

Someone at bowls told us about this new comparison service that sounded pretty good when we had a look it was certainly different to all the other services we have seen, the others there all just advertising sites like realestate.com.au but for retirement villages that just prompted particular villages just there to sell you a units, they don’t give you much help or advice, this compare service is really needed to help seniors like us, it’s well done

– Joan and Ray. W.A.

We were all worried and knew it was time for Mum and dad to move, they kept going on and off the idea of moving into a village, they all sound great and looked great in the brochures as they should for the price they charge.

We didn’t know enough about it all and neither did they, we wasted so much time looking at them all there are dozens of them about and their all different, all it did was confuse them and us more, so having someone with industry insight looking after our best interest was amazing, they shortlisted options and saved us $18,000 all up we can’t tell you how much that helped them move from their home into the new village it was brilliant good work team.

– Kate K and Daniel M. Tweed Heads NSW.

We were dead against moving into any village originally, all we heard was how much they rip you off, but the truth was as time went on, we had to look to downsize the stairs were killing us both and the kids were at us for ages to be realistic, so it was time to look at some kind of options regardless.

I don’t remember how I heard about this but anyway I thought I’d just call them to ask a few questions first and we chatted for ages, they were really friendly and helpful it opened my eyes to things I had no idea about at all that I have to say was different to what I thought anyway it took a while but we narrowed it down to a few and we pitched the one that suited us and you wouldn’t believe it 6 months later we are happy living in our new community and yes we should have gotten the real information not hearsay…so you never say never is all we can say is I’m glad I made that call.

– Sue & Arthur. Bundaberg QLD.

A friend said they were thrilled with just how much money this service saved them and how helpful they were with moving from their old home into the village, so we decided to give it a try we picked the villages we wanted, and they got us a better unit as well and saved us all around in the move, we’re big winners and appreciate what they did for us, thank you.

– Frank and Carol. VIC.

A friend of ours who moved into one loved it, they reckon they should have made the move sooner and told us we should move in near them which seems a good idea, so we got our financial advice to look at the paperwork, you could tell he really didn’t know much about retirement villages, and after a week or so he came back with this list of reasons we shouldn’t do it, which scared us because we always ran things past him, anyway we got talking and got in touch with this compare service and they talked us through things he didn’t know and explained things so much clearer and put us at ease, luckily we learnt that you need to get expert people that know this industries advice and our adviser just didn’t, so there’s a lesson there, no one knows everything.
