Abi at UFinancial might be the most helpful and understanding broker I’ve ever had the pleasure of dealing with! Abi and the team were always contactable, willing to assist, and going above and beyond to help! Abi is exceptional at what she does, and words cannot express how thankful and grateful I am for everything she has done. As a first home buyer, she walked me through everything and answered all my questions! I could not recommend Abi and the team more!!

I've used UFinancial for a number of different services across the last seven years and have been totally happy with their professionalism, communication and efficiency in helping me to make the best decisions for my financial situation. Most recently I've dealt with Lucas O'Sullivan who I would highly recommend as a broker as he has been fantastic to deal with. All the staff I've encountered over the years have been friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful with any questions I've had. I trust UFinancial 100% and will continue to work with them.

Lucas O’Sullivan and the U Financial team offered a fantastic service that helped us understand and navigate the vast world of home loans. Lucas took the time to understand our situation and our goals and provided very clear, easy to understand explanations of all of our options. He was a clear communicator, punctual and made the whole process seamless. If you’re looking to purchase your first property and are a little overwhelmed by anything related to home loans, I highly recommend contacting Lucas and the U Financial team.

I am a first home buyer and have been on my journey for a few years, I started from scratch and knew nothing about buying a home. I've finally settled and moved and I can't speak highly enough of the support Lucas has given me over the years - no silly question left unanswered and he was always available and helpful. At one stage I looked into using other brokers (to check rates) but came back to Lucas because I knew he was reliable. If you're in the same position as me - this is your guy!

Matthew Thorp

1727683996

We were recommended UFinancial by a friend who had had a positive experience with them and equally, found them to be exceptional. Matt Stielow (Finance Broker) and Rai Nicanor (Settlement Coordinator) were amazing, providing regular updates and went above and beyond what we expected. Matt clearly has a strong knowledge in his field, providing clear and sound advice as well options. The whole finance process was extremely smooth requiring very little work on our end. Both Matt and Rai are a credit to the company and we would have no hesitation in recommending UFinancial to anyone who is looking to re-finance, take a new home loan or is just seeking financial advice. Definite 5 stars!!!

Bryce Whitaker was a total lifesaver for us as first-time home buyers. We reached out to a few brokers before settling on Ufinancial services, but none of them were as accommodating or dedicated. From the get-go, Bryce was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step of the process from application to loan approval.We started in early June, and by Friday, August 2, 2024, we'll be picking up the keys to our first home. Bryce was always professional, kind, and super responsive. Not a single email, phone call, or text message went unanswered, often within a day. This was a stark contrast to other brokers who took days to reply, even though we were eager to move forward.Bryce got us a fantastic rate with a bank we already knew and liked. He made the daunting task of buying a home so much easier, helping me achieve my goal of owning a home before turning 30. Bryce provided detailed reports and plans throughout the process, keeping us constantly updated through quick meetings or emails about the loan's progress and final approval.We are beyond thrilled with the service we received and will definitely use Ufinancial services again when we move on to bigger and better things. I can't recommend Bryce enough, especially if you're a first-time home buyer. He was thorough, knowledgeable, and truly cared about making our home-buying experience smooth and successful. 100% recommend!

We have nothing but positive things to say about Franco from UFinancial. His communication, responsiveness and availability to help was above excellent. I'm not financially minded at all so am very grateful we had him on our team. If the rest of the team are half as good as Franco, i would gladly recommend UFinancial.

Mars is beyond words amazing. As a working couple with the kids Mars made it his mission to ensure we were across everything, harassed us in a positive way so we secured the best finance advice when securing our investment property. He is available 24/7, makes everything clear to myself who isn’t across the financial fine print and helped my husband feel confident who is fluent in financial decisions. He is the perfect finance guru. Your go to for all things finance! Absolutely recommend this gold star broker! He will make you feel confident, secure and helps every single step of the way. A bulldog at getting the best rates and ensuring your finances are in an amazing state. Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Go with Mars! 10 out of 10.

Stefan Tanti

We had a wonderful experience with Mars Hana from UFinancial. This is the second time we worked with him as our broker and both times have been a seamless experience handling the financial burden when buying a house or refinancing. I would highly recommend Mars and would definitely use him again in the future. Thanks for all your hard work and support!

Jonatan Lafferrairie

1718690432

Mars has been nothing short of phenomenal. He was thorough throughout the process, he asked me about my current and my future goals and found a lender that could meet those needs. Mate would make contact with me at every stage of the home loan process (application/ formal approval/ loan docs and finally settlement) just to provide me with status updates on my application. Post settlement Mars has continued to monitor my home loan with annual reviews just to ensure I’m still on the best available rate.

I was fortunate to be recommended to UFinancial Torquay by a friend. My experience with the team, particularly Daniel, has been exceptional since day one. Their support throughout the legal intricacies of purchasing my first home made the entire process remarkably smooth. I cannot emphasise enough how effortless it was for me!
