What recent reviews say

Most clients describe working with Empower Wealth across mortgage broking, buyers agents, financial planning, and tax as a turning point. The team delivers on complexity, handles settlement hurdles without flinching, and communicates each step. Staff respond within a day, explain reasoning, and tailor advice to long-term strategy rather than a quick sale.

However, a small group paid premium fees (16k–7k) to buyers agents and felt steered toward mismatched properties or left hanging after initial consultations. Two reviewers refinanced elsewhere for better rates and higher borrowing capacity after being told no by Empower. A Brisbane property direction cost one client significant opportunity. These gaps matter most when you're new and trusting the advice.

Praised for
  • trusted expert team across multiple services
  • clear communication and proactive support
  • strong buyer's agent negotiation and market knowledge
  • goes above and beyond on complex deals
  • professional guidance builds client confidence
Watch-outs
  • buyer's agent service: underperformance on property selection
  • limited property options despite high fees
  • poor communication and follow-up from management
  • overstated borrowing capacity assessment
  • advice against Brisbane investment missed market opportunity
responsive-communicationwent-above-and-beyondknowledgeablepersonalised-serviceprofessional-and-honestexplained-clearlysmooth-settlementpoor-communicationfound-better-rate-elsewhere
Best for: second and third property investors seeking integrated broking, buyers agent and tax support
Think twice if: you're a first-time buyer or new investor on a tight budget; buyers agent fees start at 7k and property selection has disappointed some clients

Strengths

  • multi-service offering (broking, buyers agents, tax, planning under one roof)
  • strong track record on complex SMSF and investment property deals
  • team coordination keeps clients informed through entire settlement process
  • detailed financial planning and strategy foundation
