- I received friendly, helpful and prompt service from Genna! She followed up on various issues and kept me informed of my loan's progress, regularly. I am very happy with her service; and would highly recommend her to anyone!!READ MOREREAD LESSAlan WilkinsonWe were absolutely blown away by the service we received from Josh! We will never look elsewhere again! From start to finish, Josh did everything possible for us. He is approachable, knowledgeable, and genuine. His communication is impeccable. We cant thank him enough for the assistance he has given us in selling & buying at the same time. It ran so smoothly having his help! I would highly recommend Josh to anyone in the future!READ MOREREAD LESSAngie DuclosI can't recommend Josh highly enough. He worked very hard to help us change banks and get a much better mortgage interest rate. He is happy to answer any questions that we had and come out to see us at home to go over all the paper work. Very professional and we will be using him again in the future.READ MOREREAD LESSTara Ward
- Very professional and knowledgeable . I was a first home buyer and Josh was very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process. He’s also very professional and there when you need him. Would recommend and use again!READ MOREREAD LESSAndrew MoussaJosh is a passionate and consummate professional who is amazing at providing realtime solutions every time we threw difficult questions his way. He is reliable, diligent and has a can-do attitude that put us at ease from the word 'go'.

We'd highly recommend Josh and his team.READ MOREREAD LESSAly KhanJosh @ 360 did an incredible job with the refinance of my loan after a seperation. He took into consideration the circumstances, went above and beyond when it came to sourcing and facilitating options and approvals, and followed up when required. Even with challenges driven from my end cause major issues with timing and approval periods, Josh did not once take the easy road to prematurely finalise the agreement, striving to ensure the best outcome was gained. As a result, he has saved me thousands in interest, provided a great level of insight for the future; and I will not hesitate to use him again / recommend to every that asks me about this subject.READ MOREREAD LESSwoody mackay
- We had Josh recommended by a friend. His service was excellent and had a really good understanding of our circumstances and which banks would be best to approach for loans.
We ended up with approval for the amount we wanted and Josh made sure we got the fixed portion of our loan locked in to a low interest rate before the rate rises - he gave us a few calls to remind us to get all the paperwork sorted.
Without Josh we might not have been able to borrow the amount we wanted as quickly as we wanted.READ MOREREAD LESSTodd AspeotisSam Zammit got us a great deal on our loans and it was a very smooth easy process. Highly recommended.READ MOREREAD LESSGary MontesinI would recommend Josh to anyone who asks for a great Mortgage Broker! Josh is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to communicate with.

I cannot recommend him highly enough!READ MOREREAD LESSValeria Kelly - Josh has been an absolute pleasure to work with, available any time we needed and provided clear information and guidance throughout the entire process, we couldnt be more happier with his service, you won't find anyone better, would absolutley recommend him, forget the rest he is the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️READ MOREREAD LESSJamieI’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. Would not hesitate to recommend him.READ MOREREAD LESSShabab HasanWe used Josh as our mortgage broker for our new property purchase. Our situation was a bit complicated as my husband is self-employed, but Josh was happy to engage with us and take the time to provide expert advice several months before we were even looking to buy, as we prepared to get all our ducks lined up ready to go for the purchase. Once we were ready to buy, Josh gave us some excellent advice on how to structure our loan to maximise benefits from offset accounts while also negotiating with lenders to get us the best interest rate possible. Josh's responsiveness and willingness to help at any time of day was something that we really valued and ultimately enabled us to swiftly close a deal on our property and ensured our finance was all ready to go by settlement date without any hiccups. It was such a smooth and easy process, I would highly recommend Josh to anyone looking for a mortgage broker, especially if you are self-employed!READ MOREREAD LESSAmelia M
- Brilliant 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 SmithJosh Woodhouse was so helpful - could not recommend him enough. Being new to buying our first home and not knowing much about purchasing a property, Josh was so helpful and explained everything so well. Josh was always happy and efficient when answering our millions of questions. He really made this process so seamless and we honestly don't know what we would have done without him. Thanks Josh!!READ MOREREAD LESSAlexandra O'NeilHigh 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
- Absolutely 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 have had the absolute pleasure of working with Josh to secure our mortgage! My partner and I are beyond impressed with Josh’s professionalism, diligence and knowledge. He has been incredibly flexible and has made the entire process so smooth for us. Cannot recommend Josh highly enough!READ MOREREAD LESSYvonne MoussaAbsolutely amazing. Josh Woodhouse guided us on our journey to buy it first home. We had a couple brokers before which we weren't super happy with. And when we were recommended to Josh it was a game changer. We really felt like we had someone knowledgeable who wanted to get us the best result he could. He helped talk us through the steps and discussed everything along the way. It took us over a year from the first house we put an offer down to find the house that was right for us and Josh was patient with us that whole time. I also found it really useful using the sites online resources to look at different options and feel like I was prepared. I also think the emails Josh sends out explain what it means when there might be something happening in government that might effect horses or mortgage rates. Can't recommend more highly!READ MOREREAD LESSjasmine gardner
