WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
- Hi Scott and Linda Just wanted to say Thankyou for all your amazing hard work in helping us buy the property in Kununurra. We really appreciate you going the extra mile and will highly recommend you to anybody looking to obtain finance. Your professional and personal approach made the process so much easer than it could have been All the best Mike and StaceyREAD MOREREAD LESSMichael StewartJosh Woodhouse is amazing. I am just about to finalise the purchase on my very first investment property, and I can honestly say that it would not have happened if it were not for Josh. I've been wanting to buy an investment property for years, but I have been so worried and anxious about it that I kept putting it off... I sent Josh so many emails - maybe 50 or more - and he ALWAYS replied promptly and with patience and courtesy, no matter how trivial my question was. I cannot recommend him highly enough, especially if you're anxious about taking that first step. Jenny SmithREAD MOREREAD LESSJenny SmithGenna from S3F Group was honestly awesome to deal with. She made the whole process so much easier than I expected and was always there to answer any questions (no matter how small).She explained everything in a way that actually made sense and kept me in the loop the whole time, which I really appreciated. You can tell she genuinely cares about getting the best outcome and not just rushing things through.Super easy to deal with, friendly, and just really good at what she does. I’d definitely recommend Genna to anyone looking for a mortgage brokerREAD MOREREAD LESSBrock Scanlon

I’ve been speaking with Scott for years before finally securing a business. Throughout the entire process not only did he ensure that everything went smoothly, he was always a great ear to talk to when I needed help or advice on anything else. He also re-financed my home loan, and got me a better rate I wouldn’t hesitate recommended him to anyone and everyone.

- Great support all the way! Constantly following up everything & searching for every avenue to make a positive outcome happen. Thanks Scott for helping us through the toughest settlement ever!READ MOREREAD LESSHabib TurkAlways 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 BourkeJosh was very professional and knowledgeable.

- I highly recommend Josh Woodhouse from SF3 Finance. He has assisted me with getting a mortgage loan approved very quickly which helped me to secure a purchase of my house. Practical, fast and responsive.READ MOREREAD LESSIrina OuzlovaJ Woodhouse - AMAZING. Josh went above & beyond while helping us refinance our house. He is very knowledgeable with all things and gave me personalised options and explained everything perfectly even if I had to ask multiple times for him to explain it. I will definitely be using him again in the future as I know he has our best interests at heart and we arnt just a number to him. Thank you Josh & the rest of the team.READ MOREREAD LESSLouise DeamerBig shout out to Scott and his team. I have now used S3F's financial services for 3 businesses, 1 mortgage (home) and 1 commercial asset loan and each time has been a very thoroughly done deal by Scott and Linda. Each loan was complex however, with his knowledge and expertise, Scott broke it down and made it much simpler for us. As always, rates obtained were very competitive and we can't thank him enough with his negotiation skills. I strongly suggest anyone who is thinking of going up against lenders themselves to consider reaching out to Scott and his team first, as they will make this process so much easier and save you much more in the long run. To Scott and Linda, thank you so very much to the both of you for assisting me with all of my acquisitions.READ MOREREAD LESSVictor Vo

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
