WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY
- Massive thanks to Alan who helped with financing a much needed new car, he was very attentive and made the process so much easier than it would have been without his help, I will be highly recommending him and the team at S3FREAD MOREREAD LESSBuon RicordoI have been dealing with Scott for over 15 years to achieve my financial needs. He always goes the extra mile to get the deal done, and communicates well to keep you in the loop at all times. This is why I keep going back to him and have no hesitation in recommending him.READ MOREREAD LESSBrian AllmanAll 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 Sargeant
- 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 OuzlovaExcellent Refinance Experience. We recently decided to refinance with Josh as an alternative to going to a bank directly as we just felt we needed better advice, clearer communication and a personalised approach for our specific needs. Josh guided us through every hurdle and gave us sound logical options for our decisions. He often took much time to talk about options or provide us with product summaries which really gave us a true understanding of the market. We felt that we were well informed and we were able to take into account many options and many products which were investigated by us to suit our needs. We were able to investigate many refinance products which Josh had suggested to eventually give us the deal that we were looking for. Also many of the cumbersome and time consuming tasks of obtaining contracts and waiting on processes were done instantly in a time effective digital format. Contracts sited, signed and done in a matter of hours not days. Josh gave us clear and concise timelines and precise steps with the correct information so we never felt like we had been mixed up or lost along the way. It’s so much better to have prompt advice and clear steps to this process, it is much better than relying on one person in a bank that maybe unavailable to give you this personal service because they have simply have to much other work to perform. A notoriously boring and time consuming task was made easy with clear steps that eventually led to the refinance deal we wanted. Josh gave us a prompt response when required to place us back on track and finish the task! Highly recommended👍READ MOREREAD LESSEunike CaltabianoI 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
- Scott has been amazing throughout my pharmacy purchase. 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. I don’t know how I would have got through the purchase process without his support.READ MOREREAD LESSEmma BissakerSaving 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 KJosh 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'. But what sets him apart from the rest of the financial experts in his field is his level of expertise, honesty and integrity with which he deals with all clients. We'd highly recommend Josh and his team.READ MOREREAD LESSAly Khan
- Couldn’t ask for better Josh gave me all the options including advice on the best. I took his advice, it went through without an issue and I can’t recommend him any higher than that. If you are looking for a broker contact Josh and ask him for options. It’s well worth it.READ MOREREAD LESSG DThe team and S3F Group is excellent. Josh W. was awesome and explained everything so well. He was always very quick to respond to any inquiries and offered great guidance. As someone who did this for the first time, Josh helped so much. Would totally recommend.READ MOREREAD LESSAmna RashidBeing a first home buyer with my partner, Josh Woodhouse made the process as simple as possible. Josh was able to provide us with great recommendations based on our personal circumstances and easy to read comparison documents. He went above and beyond to provide us with support and knowledge which we had no clue about! It made our buying process less stressful knowing Josh was reliable, responsive and trustworthy. He worked great with our solicitor and showed his years of experience through his articulate emails and thorough conversations we had. I highly recommend Josh for your broker needs due to his proactiveness, genuine nature and reliability. If anyone asks us for a broker we recommend, it would be Josh.READ MOREREAD LESSMina Potkonjak
- Scott has been invaluable in obtaining financing for the purchase of my optometry practice. He gives practical advice and sets realistic expectations on timeframes and outcomes. His strong work ethic and experience in the industry were an immense asset during the financing process. My lender was quite impressed with the detail and quality of Scott's work.
Thanks for your continued help and expertise, allowing me to grow and prosper my practice!READ MOREREAD LESSGeoff DemareWe have used Sam a couple of times now and would highly recommend him. We are extremely happy with his service and his communication is fantasticREAD MOREREAD LESSSandra PattersonJosh was recommended to us by a friend and we cannot thank him enough for his expert guidance and assistance in securing our first home loan. Josh’s professionalism and timely/ easy to understand information put us at ease with the whole process. There was never a question or query unanswered and we couldn’t not be happier with his service. We would recommend to anyone that is looking for help. Thank you sincerely again Josh, you have been amazing!READ MOREREAD LESSKS - Sam and his team have been terrific. He made the complex seem simple and got us over the line very efficiently. Took up a fight with a previous bank when needed to get them moving. Always promptly responsive to phone calls and correspondence and well on top of his work. Can’t fault the experience and am very happy to recommend them to others.READ MOREREAD LESSChris BrowneJosh @ 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 mackayScott and the team at S3F were amazing to deal with and assisted promptly with finance options for our new car couldn't be happier with customer service and smooth process of application to approvalREAD MOREREAD LESSjade tunks

Josh helped us from start to finish (about 18months in total!). We had various changes to our circumstances over that time and Josh was always willing to help.

- I was looking to buy my first home by the end of this year, and I was referred to Josh Woodhouse by a friend of mine. He has been so helpful since the beginning. I didn't know too much about what was involved when buying a place, and Josh explained it all (and answered all of my many questions). Thank you Josh, you have been a great help! I highly recommend going through S3F and speaking with him. And I can proudly say I now own my first home 🙂READ MOREREAD LESSKathryn WilliamsHome Loan Establishment and Approval.

Josh was great in keeping us updated and doing everything he could to make it a seamless process. Thanks!READ MOREREAD LESSMitchell PitmanI had the pleasure of working with Josh at the S3F group.
