What Our Client Have To Say

After many years taking what we felt as a safe and cautious approach to our finances, sticking with one of the “Big four” banks for all our financial needs, we decided we need to look into other options. We knew we could be getting a better deal with our mortgage and the bank we were with weren’t going out of their way to help.

After our first meeting Sam had provided excellent information and gave us confidence to look at the Astute team. Since engaging Sam and his Astute Manly team we have been very impressed with the level of service and the options provided to us. We subsequently switched banks and are making significant savings in the process.

The Astute Manly team did all the leg work in the background with excellent communication and advice throughout, making it a relative smooth transition. We highly recommend Sam and his Astute Manly team for any of your financial needs.

“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.

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!

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!

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.

Thanks Kirsty! You stayed very patient and professional with me and calmly guided me through what needed to be done. I really appreciate all of your help, and glad you finally got it across the line. I am not sure how you stay so patient, lenders are harder and harder to deal with and the bar seems to constantly move with more and more risk management requirements.

Chris, Toukley

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!
