Tony comes to Astute Clare Valley after 20 years as a heavy vehicle technician. Now holding a Certificate IV in Finance & Mortgage Broking, he has joined forces with his wife Ali, who founded Astute Clare Valley in 2013. As the business has evolved, Ali and Tony realised that there was an opportunity for Tony to apply his knowledge of all things mechanical within the Astute Clare Valley business and to specialise in the equipment finance sector.
With an extensive background in heavy diesel, large earthmoving and mining equipment as well as trucks and other vehicles, Tony’s clients often call him before making a large acquisition within their business to educate themselves further on the technical aspect of the equipment. He is passionate about the equipment and combines this experience with the ability to offer competitive finance solutions to his clients. Having spent much of his working career travelling far and wide servicing his mechanical clients, Tony still continues this practice in the finance sector. He is committed to working with clients no matter what their geographical location.
With every opportunity, Tony challenges lenders to earn the right to service the clients of Astute Clare Valley and offers a service proposition that is second to none.
Tony is truly passionate about motorsport and is involved in state rally’s. Along with his wife Ali and their 2 daughters Kiara and Lexi, Tony resides in the Clare Valley where they enjoy the country life with an abundance of rolling hills, fresh air, laughing kookaburras, vineyards and of course wineries.
After being frustrated by our regular bank, we decided to approach (AMB) Astute to see if they could help us to purchase an Investment property, right from the get go we felt confident in Ali’s approach. Her professionalism and determination was truly impressive. Her no stone unturned attitude gave us the results we were after. We now will be using Astute for any further Finance requirements. I have already recommended her to friends and family.
We have known Ali for quite some time, from a finance workshop she ran a long time ago. A lot of home loan advice has been provided over the years, without too many fees. This allowed us to make informed decisions, and we we’re able to go back to her a few times with extra questions without fear of being charged every single time. Knowing that eventually we would need to refinance, we knew she would be there to help and understands our history. Especially having a young family she also understood where we were heading. Her politeness and ability to explain financial matters and help us plan, made re-mortgaging with a drawdown for renovations a breeze. She has been very patient over the years as we swapped and changed plans. She was there to assist at every step we needed advice.
Ali turned over every possible stone in order for us to be successful with our home loan – she went above and beyond. We could not fault Ali’s service – she was absolutely fantastic. We are so grateful to Ali and will not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone who is in need of finance advice.
