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.
Sam, Kirsty and Claire were amazing in helping me not only secure a loan, but also get me through the process every step of the way. Being new to the property market can be daunting but the assurance and guidance and finding the best possible option for me was outstanding in all avenues. Greatly appreciated and highly recommended!
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!
“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.
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.”
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.
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!
