- Josh provided expert advice and went above and beyond. Josh helped us tremendously by being a step ahead and provided consistent review and feedback.READ MOREREAD LESSNavid ZolfagharianSaving 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 KWe worked with Josh as our mortgage broker and couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was incredibly reliable, always kept us updated, and explained everything clearly throughout the process. His communication skills and efficiency made the whole journey smooth and stress-free.
