He always went above and beyond, was always available when I needed guidance and made me feel supported and confident working with him!READ MOREREAD LESSelissa sargeantVery happy customers Josh Woodhouse was a brilliant mortgage broker. No question was to silly, he would answer all questions quickly and at any time. We felt so supported the whole way through. Highly recommend him to everyone. As newbies he was able to explain everything very well and left us not feeling overwhelmed during the house buying process. Thank you Josh! Lizz and MattREAD MOREREAD LESSElizabeth McBrideExcellent service, above and beyound expectations. Our house purchase journey was long, a full year and Josh has been with us every step of the way, always available to answer any questions we had, advising on best options. What was especially important for us is at no point we felt any pressure from Josh to speed things up. Quite the opposite, once he understood what are the most important factors for us in our financial planning he encouraged us to not rush things. And as it often happens in life - at the end of a long marathon we had a bit of a sprint, things had to be done quickly. Once again Josh was our guide and made sure everything was ready for the settlement on time despite a couple of small hurdles that as always appeared where you least expect them. We are very happy with Josh's service and appreciate his in-depth knowledge, personal approach and patience. We will definitely be recommending him to anyone who might be asking for a referral.READ MOREREAD LESSDmitri Astaltsev

I mentioned before this was the first time buying a home, my wife and I were very green going into this process and on top of that a bit nervous as well. Scott made everything transparent and we lost that nervous feeling very quickly...we also got the best education on the money lending and home purchasing process. The one thing that really stands out is that Scott made sure we weren't over spending and we were making health financial choices whilst getting what we wanted and still having money to live comfortably day to day. These guys are the best in their industry and that is simply the truth. i'm really happy we found these guys and look forward to working with Scott and the rest of the guys in the future.READ MOREREAD LESSScottThis is the second time Sam Zammit from Strategic 360 Finance has assisted my husband and I with our financial needs. This time it was for a loan to purchase an investment property through our SMSF, brand new territory for us. Sam kept us informed during the process and showed patience and professionalism each and every time we spoke with him. Sam goes above and beyond to assist with all the questions we had along the way and would often contact us to provide an update before we even had to ask. Sam has a great network of professionals within the industry, that he referred us to long the way, making our purchase very easy and stress free. We would be pleased to recommend Sam to our family and friends in the future. We look forward to engaging with your services again soon Sam.READ MOREREAD LESSJanine Prodromidis
