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

Thank you Sam, Kirsty and Claire for delivering and delivering with a smile. As a team you’ve truly gone above and beyond to help us achieve the result you have in our financing arrangements.

This was a result our incumbent bank of 15 plus years was uninterested in even attempting.

Dom and Zoe, Seaforth

My praise and recommendation for the team at Astute Manly is endless.  My case was anything but easy, yet the entire team were constantly on the ball, if not already ahead of the game.

Sam, Claire & Kirsty orchestrated a superbly choreographed routine delivering a stress-free process with solid and sound support every step of the way.  I thoroughly enjoyed working with each of them, their flexibility and accommodation working across crazy time zones was outstanding.  Not only are they top of their game, they are lovely people.

I honestly couldn’t have achieved the desired result without them.  Do yourself a favour and get Astute onboard today!

Lu Howlett, Sydney

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

“We have utilised the services of Sam Ayliffe and his team at Astute Manly for over ten years.

The level of service we have received is always beyond peer and nothing is ever too much trouble.  Even though we are based in regional NSW, distance is never an issue because they are always on the front foot in regards to communication and paperwork.

Due to the trust that we have in Sam, we have referred our family and friends to Astute Dee Why many times without hesitation.

Stuart and Sarah, Murrumbateman

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

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.”

Peter, Noosa Heads
