We started Astute North Queensland because I was disappointed with the way banks had done away with ‘Old School’ bank managers that expressed compassion, knowledge and authority.  So we developed a company to fill the gap. I believe the best thing we do is explain the process to the customer in a simple and easy manner; it is this philosophy that has made Astute North Queensland the success it is today. 20 years on and with a number of subsidiary companies, including Equipment Finance, General Insurance, Financial Planning, Accounting and Bookkeeping we have group of individuals that genuinely build relationships with our customers.

Originally born and raised in South-West Queensland, I went to school at Churchie as a boarder in Brisbane. After school I worked in Gove NT, the Kimberly’s WA and Barcaldine Central Queensland, working in the mining and rural industries. I then moved to Toowoomba to work in Real Estate as an Auctioneer and Salesperson, moving back to Cairns in 1996 to continue my real estate career with First National.

We would highly recommend Astute Atherton to anyone looking to secure an appropriate loan to suit their needs and we have already recommended them to all our friends!

Dale & Tania Robson, Atherton

My husband and I decided that we had to bite the bullet and start building on our dream block. We were planning on going through the bank for our loan but we couldn’t decide who to go through so we did some asking around and the team at Astute came highly recommended. We now know why, they were so helpful and made it all look so easy. They did all the running around to get us the best deal possible. They are always checking in to see how everything is going and actually show a genuine interest in their clients.

For anyone who is looking at getting a loan I would highly recommend going to Astute Atherton.

Andrea, Atherton

I’ve previously used Astute, as always they were very professional and went out of their way to help us finalise the loan and the purchase of our investment property.
