Your mortgage support is fantastic. Whoever I speak to, about whatever type of mortgage, gives me genuine support and clearly has real expertise. The team are also a joy to work with!

Everyone at Brilliant is highly informed and across any and all up to the minute product and criteria offerings from the lenders.

Anyone I have spoken to has provided a genuine high level of service and interest in my business which really makes them a “go-to” contact.

In addition to giving advice and support for the packaged panel, the team at Brilliant also provide insight and help for brokers to find solutions with the non-packaged lenders.

Their recent series of webinars hosted in partnership with the various panel lenders have proved to be extremely useful.

Brilliant are a firm that does precisely what it says on the tin!

Brilliant Solutions and their team have been excellent in supporting my business over the past 6 years.

Matthew Arena and Michael Craig have built an amazing team of specialists who have helped my business grow. All of the team are friendly and go the extra mile to help my clients and advisers achieve their goals.

I have found their webinars and workshops over the past year to be very informative, and they were delivered in a professional but informal way.

Michael Craig has brought brokers and lenders together in social Zoom meetings by way of quiz evenings and charity poker events, this has kept broker/lender relationships strong, and in some cases, new relationships have been built off the back of these events.

The icing on the cake is that Brilliant are the only mortgage club I can think of that pay commissions to brokers within 24 hours of completion, and in the majority of cases on the same day! In the initial months of the pandemic, I am sure this certainty over cash flow helped keep some companies afloat.

Well done Matthew, Michael and all of the team at Brilliant; keep up the good work!”

I cannot believe the hard work and perseverance that your team has shown on this case. It has been going on for over 6 months now and your team has been nothing short of outstanding.

The client had a really tricky set of circumstances and was often reluctant to provide all the information that the lender needed.

However, the skill, knowledge and effort of your team, especially Drew Sage has created an awesome client outcome and a very happy broker.

Thanks again,

This case, is by far one of the most challenging I have faced but I undoubtedly could not have got it done with you being there to help me through it. From the issues with underwriting and then problems with the warranty, you 100% went the extra mile on for the clients to ensure this case got over the line and for this I thank you.

Brilliant Solutions has been a key part of my business since it started in January 2020. The service received from them has been consistently excellent, and more than I have experienced with other clubs in the past. They have helped me develop my mortgage business, given direction with complex cases and always gone more than the extra mile.

I recently had a complex Ltd Co BTL case where company was also trading as well as being an SPV, and additionally it was owned by a holding company, not the directors. For various reasons, we struggled to place even with the usual specialists but Brilliant Solutions spent time helping us find a lender that would do what we needed. They have since seen that case through and we are expecting completion on this business imminently. With Brilliant Solutions’ help, we saved the case, the clients were very happy (not to mention the deal being amazing anyway) and we were glad to be able to place the case.

The team are always accessible, we are building up relationships with their specialists and know that help is just a phonecall away from a club that offers service better than I’ve experienced before.
