General Dreamstreet Lending information
We are one of Australia’s leading financial institutions and have been operating in the Victorian community for 30 years. We assess, approve and manage your loan from start to finish.
Dreamstreet is a private business with no big shareholders taking from the profits. We're a family-like business. The owner is John Hronis. John started this business because he felt there had to be a way to be of better service to people for their banking, and was personally fed up with hanging on answering machines for hours with other banks. Dreamstreet was created to cut out the wastage in the whole process and to add more into the customer experience. John is passionate about offer real savings and real customer service to our community.
Dreamstreet, with John at the helm, is very active in the local community and a big supporter of sports and trades in Victoria in particular. We're a down-to-earth business that cares about people and the community.
In a nutshell there are a few stand out things that our customers consistently tell us:
- We are big on customer service, and low on costs. We offer great savings to our clients all without cutting back on customer service because of the low overhead model of the business
- We don't force you into set off-the-shelf products and really work with you to find the best solutions
- We care more about cutting the cost of your loan/s than we do about the published interest rates (which are not always what real savings are all about, actually)
- We're a family-like business and you get to deal with real people, and your own personal Mortgage Consultant. Remember those days of great customer service? That's Dreamstreet!
We operate in Victoria, Australia. Please call us on 1300 230 240 to book an appointment and one of our Mortgage Consultants will come to you.

We offer a variety of home loans that are flexible, depending on your individual situation. Currently the highest interest rate on a new home loan or refinance is 9.85% per annum. The majority of our client are offered an interest rate much lower than this, however if you have experienced credit issues such as bankruptcy this can affect the rate that is offered to you.
First home buyer questions
There are lots of reasons our customers love us and you can check out our reviews for yourself to see what they say. The main way that we offer great savings to our clients, all without cutting back on customer service, is due to the fact we don't have massive shareholders who want to take from the profits, and we don't have bricks and mortar buildings that add to the overheads. We believe it is far better to come to you, when and where it suits you, and to give those savings back to you.
Dreamstreet is also able to offer you flexible solutions because we're not confined to the off-the-shelf products that many other banks are bound. We also have all types of loans under the one roof which sometimes means all your lending can be rationalised to get a better outcome overall too.
We are more concerned with our customers cutting the costs of their total loan or loans, rather than fixated on published interest rates (which can be a bit of smoke and mirrors too).
The best thing to do is at least to have a chat with one of our mortgage consultants and see for yourself how we can save you. Meet one of our friendly members of the Dreamstreet family for yourself and you'll see what's different about us first hand.
If all documents are provided that are needed we are able to give you an indicative answer in 24 hours and aim for approval in 4 working days providing we have all the right documentation.
The information may vary but minimum requirements are 100 Points of ID, Income verification, savings statements showing your deposit savings and a credit report must be done. Your personal mortgage consultant will let you know what is needed in your situation.
