Craig Aaltonen26/05/26I've had 5 brokers over the years and there will not be 6 Gary has been hands down the best service by far I have had from any broker.
I made a few late changes from rent to sell throwing a genuine curve ball and not a beat was missed even while i was working and buying interstate with all loans sorted in an amazing time frame.
I generally would not refer services to family fearing a different experience however I have in this instance and they are experiencing the same result after trying times with another broker from lack of detail on the brokers behalf.
Accessible, efficient and genuinely a good human.
Could not recommend more.Read MoreRead Less -

Kristi Stevens25/03/26We honestly can’t thank Gary Gilbert from Watson Mortgages enough for everything he did for us.
This was a really stressful time for us—trying to secure finance, purchase a large rural block with extra restrictions, and sell our home privately all at once. On top of that, we’re self-employed, so our situation wasn’t straightforward at all.
But he just took it all in his stride and worked through every obstacle without ever making it feel overwhelming.
One of the biggest things that helped us early on was how Gary sat down and crunched the numbers before we even got into the nitty gritty. That gave us a clear understanding of what we could realistically spend when purchasing, which made a huge difference and gave us confidence moving forward.
Throughout the whole process, he was always there—keeping things moving, answering our questions, and making sure we were never left in the dark. Having him as our single point of contact made everything so much easier and took a lot of the pressure off us.
We also sold our home privately, and looking back, the only thing we would have done differently is pass potential buyers onto Gary. One of the biggest challenges we faced was buyers struggling to get finance—something Gary is clearly very good at navigating.
Gary genuinely cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to get the best outcome. He didn’t just do his job—he supported us through a really big and stressful life moment, and for that we’re incredibly grateful.
We couldn’t recommend Gary Gilbert and the team at Watson Mortgages more highly.Read MoreRead Less

Adam Evans04/02/26We were not confident that we could purchase our first home.
We met with Gary Gilbert from Watson Mortgages and after an initial meeting he believed that we could.
Our journey had many bumps along the way but Gary was knowledgeable and confident in the process. He proactively worked with all parties to help us achieve our dream and earlier this year our family moved into our own home.
We went from uncertainty to ownership in a matter of months.
Thank you Gary we are absolutely still astounded that our home is ours.Read MoreRead Less

We went in to selling our house and buying a new house with anxiety and we had no idea what we were doing or what to expect. It took months of us changing our mind going back and forward looking at so many options that Nestor had prepared for us.
He was so calm and so generous with his time and explaining the options he found for us. We were so clueless and really needed someone to guide us through every step and he was there for us.
I honestly don't think we could have done this without him. We really owe him a debt of gratitude.Read MoreRead Less -
