- Josh was recommended to us by a friend. We had an initial meeting with Josh to make sure it was a good fit. Josh listened to our needs and was able to present us with a number of options. I had a few questions about things I didn’t fully understand and Josh was able to explain. He always took the time explain and provide options. We refinanced our mortgage in a very hassle free way. All the stress and dealing with bank directly was taken over by Josh. Highly recommend.READ MOREREAD LESSIlka DavidsonSam and his team have been terrific. He made the complex seem simple and got us over the line very efficiently. Took up a fight with a previous bank when needed to get them moving. Always promptly responsive to phone calls and correspondence and well on top of his work. Can’t fault the experience and am very happy to recommend them to others.READ MOREREAD LESSChris BrowneExcellent Refinance Experience. We recently decided to refinance with Josh as an alternative to going to a bank directly as we just felt we needed better advice, clearer communication and a personalised approach for our specific needs. Josh guided us through every hurdle and gave us sound logical options for our decisions. He often took much time to talk about options or provide us with product summaries which really gave us a true understanding of the market. We felt that we were well informed and we were able to take into account many options and many products which were investigated by us to suit our needs. We were able to investigate many refinance products which Josh had suggested to eventually give us the deal that we were looking for. Also many of the cumbersome and time consuming tasks of obtaining contracts and waiting on processes were done instantly in a time effective digital format. Contracts sited, signed and done in a matter of hours not days. Josh gave us clear and concise timelines and precise steps with the correct information so we never felt like we had been mixed up or lost along the way. It’s so much better to have prompt advice and clear steps to this process, it is much better than relying on one person in a bank that maybe unavailable to give you this personal service because they have simply have to much other work to perform. A notoriously boring and time consuming task was made easy with clear steps that eventually led to the refinance deal we wanted. Josh gave us a prompt response when required to place us back on track and finish the task! Highly recommended👍READ MOREREAD LESSEunike Caltabiano
- Great support all the way! Scott will take the pain out of dealing with the detail required by lenders & finding the best deal. Thanks Scott for helping us through the buy out.READ MOREREAD LESSHTAlways amazing!! Sam has been a massive asset to the development of our property portfolio. He has a deep understanding of the loan structures and borrowing arrangements for so many lenders across all states and always ensures that he finds the best possible options for us. Our last purchase was a complex new build that had multiple Covid delays and at no time did Sam ever complain about having to go through all of the paperwork again and again as we needed to keep extending loans and then reapplying. Thank you Sam for always being cool, calm and able to reassure us that we would get the bets outcome in the end, no matter how difficult the situation appeared at times.READ MOREREAD LESSNeil BourkeHigh anxiety gets relieved by helpful broker. Could not have made the process easier, we asked, we got the info, we chose, we got approval, we got our dream house! Thank you so much for handling everything! We could not have asked for a better broker 🙂READ MOREREAD LESSAaron Corbet
