So when we started thinking about a new family home I asked for his contacts. This broker was Josh Woodhouse and, my friend was absolutely right, Josh is amazing. He walked with us the entire journey from our first thought about a new home and till we actually bought the house. And, as he said, our journey does not stop there, as he will be touching base every few month. Josh was providing an exceptional service by answering all our questions and carefully listening our wishes. Our process of buying our new house was quite lengthy, but Josh was always very patient and never pushed us to speed up the process. I highly recommend Josh, he will guide you through the important and often stressful home buying process.READ MOREREAD LESSJane Parkhomenko

- Josh was a series of pleasant surprises. We never imagined to have a warm-hearted, caring and kind mortgage broker! Josh truly loves and enjoys being the driving force for first-time buyers to get their own home. Every interaction with Josh is very warm, positive and motivating. Our search went longer than expected for several reasons. Josh has been standing by our side supporting us. He would always come back with really smart answers with our odd questions during the whole time. We cannot thank enough to Josh for making it happen, giving us up to speed, supporting us during the very long search where we nearly gave up, giving us really good advices around the settlement and following up after the settlement and the first loan payment! He is not only very good with what he does with his thoroughness and never-give-up spirit but also has the heart of gold and huge patience. Josh is very, very special. Thank you so much once again for all you have done for us. Josh went far beyond and he did the same to my husband's colleague and his mate.

It had been a long time since we had taken out a loan, things had certainly changed!
His comprehensive knowledge on how to navigate our loan application made the process a lot less complicated for us.

Josh was prompt and courteous in his replies which always included a full explanation of what we were undertaking.
Would definitely use his services again on our next loan.READ MOREREAD LESSEileen BehanA thorough and professional purchase experience. Josh Woodhouse recently assisted me with the purchase of a property. I was impressed with the thorough and professional way he provided his mortgage broking service to me. His knowledge about the matter at hand, and mist importantly, the strategy that was best adopted to succeed with the application was second to none. The experience was also highly personalised. Josh always returned calls, even if contact was required after business hours. Discussion on important matters was never too difficult, and Josh always took all the time necessary to explain anything that was unclear. He also had the answer on hand to any enquiries even though he had no prior warning to questions that were going to be asked. I couldn't recommend Josh highly enough and I would have no hesitation in seeking his assistance in the future. The whole process, and the fact that someone with his knowledge and commitment to quality service is available for future purchases gives me great peace of mind.READ MOREREAD LESSDean Livanos - Josh was incredible throughout our first home buying journey.

You have gone above and beyond , your communication was fantastic and guaranteed we will be seeing you again . Thanks Josh and team . Andy and angeREAD MOREREAD LESSA Watson
- Saving the day. S3F Group was not our first choice for getting finance for refinancing an existing loan, and arranging an investment loan bundle. We started with a different agent who made such a mess with the setting up that we had to split the loans, put one on the back burner, then came back with a ridiculously high interest rate. After a month of stressful conversations with Agent 1 where we nearly lost the purchase. We began a conversation with Josh who took the same list of requirements as Agent 1. And over a two week period delivered on all of them. We rate Josh and recommend him to anyone who is looking for a constructive, stress free and positive financial outcome.READ MOREREAD LESSDavid KAbsolutely stellar service! Scott was instrumental in securing the finance needed. His expertise and dedication made the process smooth and efficient. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of financial assistance.READ MOREREAD LESSRami DoughanWe couldn't recommend Josh enough! He made the purchase of our first home so easy. Josh was able to break down the differences between all our options, was efficient every step of the process and able to answer any of our questions.READ MOREREAD LESSSarah Ezzy

Being new to buying our first home and not knowing much about purchasing a property, Sam was amazing and very helpful at explaining everything step by step, not to mention whenever we had a question he would get back to us very quickly, even if this meant on a weekend or late at night. I would highly highly recommend Sam to anyone!! We would not have been able to purchase our property without him!READ MOREREAD LESSDWithout hesitation, we couldn’t recommend Josh more highly!
