What Our Clients Have To Say

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

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 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

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, 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

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

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
