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.
My praise and recommendation for the team at Astute Manly is endless. My case was anything but easy, yet the entire team were constantly on the ball, if not already ahead of the game.
Sam, Claire & Kirsty orchestrated a superbly choreographed routine delivering a stress-free process with solid and sound support every step of the way. I thoroughly enjoyed working with each of them, their flexibility and accommodation working across crazy time zones was outstanding. Not only are they top of their game, they are lovely people.
I honestly couldn’t have achieved the desired result without them. Do yourself a favour and get Astute onboard today!
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.
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.
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!
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.
The service at Astute Manly is fantastic; the team certainly exceeds my expectations every time. The most memorable thing about dealing with Astute Dee Why is how they manage to structure loans in a way that makes sense for our financial position. The team has helped us to obtain each of our loans and they work wonderfully for us.
