Kristine Broom (Kristine) doesn't post much any more but has a lot of older great posts. I've only got her private number but you should be able to send her a PM.
There was a bunch of others, some retired, many don't post much any more.

I know you wanted other recommendations but honestly Pete from Sage Lending is fantastic; he would be my recommendation for Melbourne.
He can put up with me calling all the time and pushing my loans to the limit and still give fantastic service and advice so he gets a big tick in my book!
Another +1 for Pete. He knows his stuff inside out and can make the almost impossible possible.
Give Medine Simons a call.

I second that...Another vote from me for PT_Bear.
If you don't need a face to face,i recommend Jamie M.
Cheers Spades.
I think you will need to get recomendations for another broker from another source Im afraid. Seems people on here either only like a couple of brokers, or the other brokers they used werent memorable enough to recomend.
As far as meeting in person goes, for a lot of brokers, they only schedule a face to face when they are confident of an application proceeding, or they are new to the role, or you are meeting them in their office at a time that suits them.
If you are thinking of lining up brokers to interview after hours in your home you might be disappointed.

I think the first thing is to take recommendations from clients of brokers, and not ones hand-picked by the broker themselves for their testimonials.
And perhaps not to take recommendations from brokers recommending other brokers which seems to be happening a bit here - as there is the possibility of a conflict in doing this (ie. "you pat my back and I'll pat yours").
And also remember that being a broker and posting on Somersoft does not automatically mean they are a good broker.
And further that if many people here are singing the praises of just a few brokers, these guys may be run off their feet with new business (I'm sure someone can create a poll to establish how many people on the forum use or have used a forum broker in the past) and not be keeping up with their workload!

Talk with a few over the phone. See who you make a heart connection with and make a choice from there.
Technical skills are vital but you will be working with a person so important to have the right fit.
Be respectful with their time and knowledge as its taken many hours (often without earning a cent) to accumulate. Be upfront with your intentions as the majority of brokers dont get paid until a deal is approved and even then it can be many months later.
We have commitments to meet, family to care for etc.
Also would like to add that if you have an issue with someone its best practice and just plain decent to speak with them directly rather than vent on a public forum. There is always a few sides to every story.
