Sam and the team have been amazing since we started with them around two decades ago for both property and motor vehicle leasing. The most valuable benefit to us has been the ability to ask their advice and possibilities available to us at any point in time as our position changes. Their knowledge is confidence-inspiring, and takes the guesswork out of the equation. This saves us a lot of time as they have done all the research for us already. We’re a customer for life and would wholeheartedly endorse them to any and all of our family and friends.
Sam and the team did everything to get us our finance and in a short period of time. Very grateful for his knowledge and persistence to navigate through a stressful time.
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.
Dear Sam and Jason
I just wanted to say thank you so much for the help you have given me in finding the right vehicle for me and then sorting the finance out for me.
The service I received was exceptional and the help and support provided in getting everything complete in time was better than any I have received before.
It’s great to know there are still people out there prepared to put 120% into getting their clients what they nee.
Thank you again, I will certainly recommend Astute to all my friends and colleagues.
“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!
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.
