Testimonials

Emily

Amazing service. I loved working with this team and am very happy with the outcome. A few months ago I became very nervous as I had a low fixed rate locked in until early 2023. The team at astute helped me find the best new fixed rate, oversaw the breaking of my old one and transfer to a new bank, and it couldn't have been easier or smoother. To think I used to waste my time calling banks all day myself getting stressed out, instead of dealing with one broker, wow, I'll never go back to that. Thank you so much!

DO IT! Josh and the team at Astute are amazing. They recently helped refinance my loan to a new bank and made it feel like a walk in the park. Here’s what you can expect; a highly professional, knowledgeable, efficient and friendly team to deal with. A good loan structure to suit your financial needs with a sharp interest rate. Care and attention all the way through, and even after settlement! And most importantly, no headache. DO IT!

Astute were able to work with the bank to structure a challenging package. They removed a lot of hassle by dealing directly with the bank, were quick to respond to questions and and kept us informed of the process along the way

Recently refinanced our home loan with Josh, Shiela and the team at Astute. Service was exceptional and we're very happy with the rate we got. Absolutely no hassles whatsoever and I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for financial services.
