What Our Clients Have To Say

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

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

Sam and his fabulous team were extremely helpful when I purchased my first home in Sydney. They were very professional and efficient considering I needed a quick turnaround with my home loan application. They were able to find the best home loan facility that suited me – across various lending providers in their network.
Special mention to Claire and Kirsty who helped with the progress of my loan from application up to settlement. They constantly kept me in the loop and were available whenever I needed help/clarification. These two ladies were simply amazing!
I would highly recommend Sam and his team – they provide personalized service and look after you 100%! Certainly needed when you are going through a big milestone in your life such as buying a home.
Joyce, Sydney

Sam and the team did everything to get us our finance and in a short period of time. Very grateful for his knowledge and persistence to navigate through a stressful time.
Alanna, Kingsford

Sam, Claire and the entire team at Astute were an absolute pleasure to deal with during our home loan process. Prior to Astute, we had been rejected for a loan and were feeling disheartened. Astute not only had us preapproved in just a few weeks, they got us MORE than what we needed to get our dream place. They are experts in the field, know all the industry secrets and I would recommend them for anyone looking to get a loan. No doubt we’ll be using them again in the future!
Thank you Sam, Claire & team for everything!
Lindsay & Jake Bennett, Manly

Very friendly and knowledgeable on the best way to structure our home loan needs while listening to our preferences and desires and providing informative suggestions. Always willing to explain the various products and considerations for future planning.
J Scott, Sydney

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.
