Originally from Wagga Wagga, my family relocated to the Atherton Tablelands where I spent my early years. In high school I moved to Cairns and Cairns has been my home ever since. I appreciate the coastal lifestyle Cairns has to offer and plan to continue growing and building a life for myself here.
In 2022, I began my journey at Astute Finance North QLD as a Client Manager. This role gave me invaluable insights into the financial needs of individuals and families in our region. Witnessing firsthand the benefits and importance of utilising a mortgage broker, I discovered a passion for guiding people through one of their most significant milestones they will achieve in their lifetime which is homeownership.
Motivated by this passion, I decided to invest in further training and become a fully accredited Mortgage Broker. My goal is to help my clients navigate the complexities of mortgage options and find solutions that best fit their lending needs and aspirations.
Outside of work, I enjoy exploring Cairns’ natural beauty, whether it’s taking a day trip out to the reef or hiking through one of our many hiking trails. Engaging with the community is also a priority for me, as I believe in giving back and contributing to the place I proudly call home.
The staff in the Cairns office were amazing. The receptionist was the best I have ever encountered in a business and any staff that walked past us said hello. The entire office appears to be a very friendly, happy and vibrant workplace!
I found every time I rang the office with a query the phone was answered promptly. Gus and his team stayed in contact at all times either by email or phone just to make sure I had complete understanding of the forms I was signing and the procedures they were taking to finalise the loan. I was never left wondering what happens next.
I was very impressed with the quality of service and support. Jasmin really went beyond to ensure my equipment loan went as smooth and quickly as possible which took a great deal of stress out of setting up my new business. I would highly recommend Astute’s EF team Donnie, Morene and Jasmin for any car or equipment loans.
John and the team looked after us on many fronts from mortgage, superannuation and even life insurance. We even compared rates on our new vehicle lease and Astute came through better than any bank.
These guys definitely have the XFactor
We were recommended from friends to see Fei Chan to discuss buying investment property. He was very polite, friendly, sincere and honest. But most importantly, he has made it clearer for us on how to build our property portfolio for a better future. For that, I too highly recommend his service to others.
Astute are very professional & helpful. Would recommend these guys to anyone looking at refinancing or purchasing. Started with this team when they were in their little office, my how they have grown. Special thanks to Verena for all her help but all the staff are wonderful and great with the little ones as well J Thanks heaps.
I had no understanding of how the insurance side of Astute worked. After my first visit with Peta I was blown away with how she explained everything to me. And what I didn’t understand she was happy to take the extra time to explain them again. I felt she was very thorough and when I left I was able to think about what suited my needs to make a decision on how I wanted to proceed. Thanks Peta for advice.
