Stacey was the most incredible broker we could have asked for! Having Stacey support us every step of the way made this process so much less daunting and stressful. She was always so kind, patient with our many questions and always celebrated the wins and was genuinely on the journey with us. There wasn’t any point where I was left wondering how the progress of our loan application was tracking because Stacey was incredibly proactive with providing us with updates!
If you need a broker I can’t recommend Stacey enough.

We cannot speak highly enough of UFinancial and in particular, our broker Laura Biggs. The process, communication and post settlement followup is excellent. They have saved us thousands. If you are looking for a broker, be assured UFinancial will get you the best deal and will do it quickly and professionally. UFinancial will review our loan on an annual basis and this gives us great comfort in knowing we will always be on the best possible deal.

My partner and I had the pleasure of working with Andrew when buying our first home, and he made the entire process smooth. Andrew was always available to answer questions, guide us through paperwork, and provide advice. His expert advice and attention to detail gave us confidence during a stressful period. Everyone we dealt with during the process, including Rochelle and Mark, have been on the ball every step of the way. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and highly recommend Andrew and the entire team at UFinancial to anyone looking to buy their first home!

I had the pleasure of working with Andrew as my financial broker, and I can confidently say he went above and beyond to help me and my fiancée secure our first home loan. From the very beginning, Andrew was extremely professional, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took the time to fully understand our financial situation and explained the process in a way that made everything clear and easy to follow.

Andrew worked tirelessly to ensure that we were approved for the loan, guiding us through every step and answering any questions we had along the way. His dedication and persistence really stood out, and we always felt supported. He made what could have been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. Thanks to Andrew’s hard work, we’re now on our way to owning our first home, and we couldn’t be more grateful for his expertise and commitment. 5 Stars isn’t enough for Andrew’s service!

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 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!!!
