Thank you, Josh, for your outstanding support throughout this process. - Posting on behalf of my Father-In-Law Nigel Letton 2024READ MOREREAD LESSBrea LettonI’ve had the pleasure of working with Josh for close to a year now. As it was the first purchase for me and my wife, we were very conservative with our approach. But Josh was patient with us and in the end got us a good deal that we’re happy with.

- I can't recommend Josh Woodhouse highly enough. As a first home buyer who felt completely out of their depth, Josh made the process so much easier, he was patient and explained everything clearly making sure I understood every step of the way. 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 sargeantI can't recommend Josh highly enough.

Very professional and we will be using him again in the future.READ MOREREAD LESSTara WardAlways 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 Bourke

- Josh, always supportive and in dead end moments he pulls a rabbit out of his hat. Really pleased had business with you. Thank you.READ MOREREAD LESSFreddie YeganehI highly recommend Scott Woodhouse for pharmacy lending. Scott is an expert in his field, was very professional but also down to earth. During the lending process, I had many questions, uncertainties and doubts but Scott was able to clear any confusions using his vast knowledge and experience. He could already see the ending as soon as it began, and for a first-time pharmacy purchaser, this was a highly valuable service and asset to have. Thank you Scott and the S3F team!READ MOREREAD LESSVictor VoFantastic support and guidance from Josh. Josh was on top of everything at all times, we were never waiting for answers. Josh made everything easy and simpleREAD MOREREAD LESSandrew yelvo
- All class! Would fully recommend Josh Woodhouse as a mortgage broker to anyone I know. His communication and expertise were top notch and he made the process of getting a mortgage a breeze. Josh was also very approachable which was important for me seeing as it's the first time I'd got a mortgage. Fully recommend to anyone looking for a broker!READ MOREREAD LESSTom SargeantJosh Woodhouse is an excellent broker. Answered all questions in a timely manner, kept me up to date throughout the whole process and always had my best interest at heart. Would highly recommend to anyone!READ MOREREAD LESSL BrowningExcellent 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
- Josh is such a nice, knowledgeable person. We received sound advice which we valued. Josh was able to put together a package that suited us perfectly. He listened and understood. He has been recommended to friends and family.READ MOREREAD LESSElizabeth LHExcellent Service. I've contacted Josh thanks to a recommendation of a friend. Josh helped with refinancing my two existing mortgages and securing another one to purchase an investment property. He found a cheaper and more affordable product for me. Needless to say, I will own my home sooner. Communication with Josh was always prompt and clear. The process of re-financing and purchasing a new property at the same time was truly a stress-free experience. Thank you very much Josh, and till next timeREAD MOREREAD LESSRenata GielisBrilliant experience with Liam at 360 Finance, very impressive & very informative. I was hesitant to speak to 360 finance as I wasn’t sure what they were all about and if they were as good as they made out to be. From this I was greeted over the phone by Liam. Liam was very fast to contact me and made me feel very comfortable throughout the experience. Liam was very patient with me and with the lender. I could not recommend someone more. So happy with my new car & with the process of applying etc. Don’t hesitate to use 360 ! #lifeupgraded #360finance_auREAD MOREREAD LESSAbbie Smith

Communicates quickly and accurately, and will generally get you updates before you even think to ask for them. Can’t beat him.READ MOREREAD LESSNick StarrBuying a first home can be daunting at the best of times, and we ended up doing this in the absolute worst of times amidst lots of stress and grief.
