Thank you so much for handling everything! We could not have asked for a better broker 🙂READ MOREREAD LESSAaron CorbetJosh from S3F Group is a very professional individual. Incredibly prompt and precise. We are very happy with the way our home loan was arranged.READ MOREREAD LESSSipsI have no hesitation in recommending Sam and the team at Southwest Lending Solutions, my personal business dealings have been effortless and stress free. It is clear that Sam is passionate about finance and his expertise shows within his actions.READ MOREREAD LESSHamish Quirk
- Josh was a series of pleasant surprises. We never imagined to have a warm-hearted, caring and kind mortgage broker! Josh truly loves and enjoys being the driving force for first-time buyers to get their own home. Every interaction with Josh is very warm, positive and motivating. Our search went longer than expected for several reasons. Josh has been standing by our side supporting us. He would always come back with really smart answers with our odd questions during the whole time. We cannot thank enough to Josh for making it happen, giving us up to speed, supporting us during the very long search where we nearly gave up, giving us really good advices around the settlement and following up after the settlement and the first loan payment! He is not only very good with what he does with his thoroughness and never-give-up spirit but also has the heart of gold and huge patience. Josh is very, very special. Thank you so much once again for all you have done for us. Josh went far beyond and he did the same to my husband's colleague and his mate. Absolutely talented…READ MOREREAD LESSNaoko IwakiExcellent service highly recommended Sam is very knowledgeable.

- Excellent 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 AstaltsevBEST BROKER YOU"LL FIND!! 10 STARS!!

- 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 provided expert advice and went above and beyond.
