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.

I had my first dealings with Sam, Kirsty and Claire two years ago, after I was unable to secure finance from several banks to settle a divorce arrangement. They were recommended to me by an existing client who suggested; “If Sam can’t get it done, no one can”. Due to my situation, finance was very difficult to secure, but they were very determined to succeed.

Kirsty and Claire were a pleasure to deal with throughout and were very patient and helpful with my computer illiteracy, during the many exchanges of documents.

Thanks to them I was able to retain ownership of the property, which has since doubled in value.

I recently purchased another property and needed to restructure my finances. With Sam’s recommendations I received a great rebate and reduction of interest rate as well!

Having dealt with many banks over many years, I am now very content to have Sam, Kirsty and Claire look after all my future financial requirements.

Nothing is too much trouble and “If Sam can’t get it done, no one can.”

Van, Sam, Kirsty, and the rest of the team were great to work with and made things a breeze to complete. With their combined technical knowledge, they were able to source me a variety of home loans and structures to choose from, at an excellent rate. Once lodged, they guided us to complete all the necessary paperwork without any hassles. They kept us well informed and were a pleasure to work with. I will definitely recommend their services to friends and family in the future!

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

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.

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.

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.
