What is your greatest success story?

Raymond: “My best success story revolves around two young clients who came to me believing they were hopeless at buying a house. They had been trying to find something for three years. To my delight, we were able to make a purchase within a month.

They were under the impression that they needed €40,000 in savings, but ended up not needing to use any of their savings. They also thought their monthly costs would be high, but these turned out to be €300 lower than expected. No own deposit was needed, against all odds.”
