What Our Clients Have To Say

Sam, Kirsty and Claire were amazing in helping me not only secure a loan, but also get me through the process every step of the way. Being new to the property market can be daunting but the assurance and guidance and finding the best possible option for me was outstanding in all avenues. Greatly appreciated and highly recommended!
Aiden , Gold Coast

After many years taking what we felt as a safe and cautious approach to our finances, sticking with one of the “Big four” banks for all our financial needs, we decided we need to look into other options. We knew we could be getting a better deal with our mortgage and the bank we were with weren’t going out of their way to help.
After our first meeting Sam had provided excellent information and gave us confidence to look at the Astute team. Since engaging Sam and his Astute Manly team we have been very impressed with the level of service and the options provided to us. We subsequently switched banks and are making significant savings in the process.
The Astute Manly team did all the leg work in the background with excellent communication and advice throughout, making it a relative smooth transition. We highly recommend Sam and his Astute Manly team for any of your financial needs.
Jimmy & Marie, Wollongong

Dear Sam and Jason
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the help you have given me in finding the right vehicle for me and then sorting the finance out for me.
The service I received was exceptional and the help and support provided in getting everything complete in time was better than any I have received before.
It’s great to know there are still people out there prepared to put 120% into getting their clients what they nee.
Thank you again, I will certainly recommend Astute to all my friends and colleagues.
Sam, Central Coast

Sam and the team have been amazing since we started with them around two decades ago for both property and motor vehicle leasing. The most valuable benefit to us has been the ability to ask their advice and possibilities available to us at any point in time as our position changes. Their knowledge is confidence-inspiring, and takes the guesswork out of the equation. This saves us a lot of time as they have done all the research for us already. We’re a customer for life and would wholeheartedly endorse them to any and all of our family and friends.
Cameron and Dani, Berowra

Can’t recommend Sam enough! He helped me and my partner secure our first property giving us several options to choose from and provided great advice every step of the way. He was very responsive whenever we needed him and made the whole process seem easier than we thought especially given we needed a quick turnaround.
Jonathan, Manly

Having Sam, Claire, Kirsty and the team at Astute take care of our loans has been wonderful. They have been brilliant with leading us through the loan process many times over the past decade. Making what is normally a daunting process very easy.
Stew & Michelle, Forestville

Thanks Kirsty! You stayed very patient and professional with me and calmly guided me through what needed to be done. I really appreciate all of your help, and glad you finally got it across the line. I am not sure how you stay so patient, lenders are harder and harder to deal with and the bar seems to constantly move with more and more risk management requirements.
