Grace and the team lead a team that clients trust completely. Reviewers consistently report feeling supported through complex processes-Defence home loans, refinancing, investment properties-with staff who listen to the full picture, not just the numbers, and who advocate for the best outcome rather than the quickest sale.

Defence Finance stands apart for deep knowledge of Defence benefits and schemes, combined with willingness to find options clients didn't know existed.

Grow and Co Finance

Grow and Co Finance

5.0(250)✓ Google-verified

Every review across 250 is five-star, and recent ones centre on staff who educate clients from the start, answer questions thoroughly, and chase solutions others cannot. Clients mention pre-approval in a day and loan approvals turned around quickly. The standout pattern is team members named repeatedly across home buys, refinances, and commercial deals, each earning trust through follow-up and genuine care for outcomes. Grow and Co holds Australian Credit Licences and operates from Yarraville, covering both residential and commercial finance. Staff keep clients informed at every step, especially first-timers who arrive knowing nothing. This is brokerage built on individual relationships and staff who solve hard cases rather than push standard packages.

Robert Taylor - Finance/Mortgage Broker

4.9(82)✓ Google-verified

Clients consistently report working with Robert and find him patient, responsive, and knowledgeable about loan structuring. He handles refinances, first-home buys, and complex situations with calm professionalism and clear communication. One early outlier complaint about communication stands against 98% five-star reviews. Most praise him for going beyond standard brokerage-offering auction strategy advice, staying available during stressful periods, and explaining complex financial structures. Painless document collection online, quick turnarounds, and honest advice are recurring strengths.

Engaged Finance

5.0(89)✓ Google-verified

Every review across 89 entries is five-star, with clients consistently praising the same broker for removing friction from loan applications. Responsiveness, deep finance knowledge, and willingness to chase lender comparisons are the anchors; refinancing and investment property work appear equally well-handled. Clients specifically mention how staff work late to meet deadlines and answer every question promptly. The experience is described repeatedly as easy and professional rather than stressful-a marked contrast to how these transactions typically feel.
