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!

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!!!

Great brokers to work with, for a refinance and also for property purchase in SMSF. These guys are quick and responsive by email, text and phone. This has been the quickest and most trouble free refinance/borrowing experience I have ever had! Seemed to have a good range of options for products and banks. Would recommend for sure!!

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.

We are so thankful for Daniel and his team! From the initial conversation and guidance, to more than a year later when we closed on our first home he has been there all the way.

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

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.

While I'm usually quite cautious and a little nervous dealing with financial matters, Andrew and his team made us feel very comfortable with the path to take, presenting us with options that were explained thoroughly, and led us all the way through the process with a minimum of fuss. Very happy with their service.

Michael Rogers

Mars and the UFinancial team greatly assisted my partner and I through the financial planning process to securing finance when we were looking to secure our first investment property together. Mars did everything from negotiating the best interest rates possible with the banks, to ensuring that we met the serviceability criteria for the loan repayments and even calculated everything for us. Not only did Mars help us secure finance, he did so with a quite complex situation involving 3 investment properties, and went above and beyond with securing finance across these.Mars is an excellent communicater, has the utmost respect and professionalism for his clients and has the drive to ensure we had everything in place in the shortest possible time. Mars has demonstrated a wealth of experience during the 2 years I have had the pleasure of working with him. I recently sought his services again to refinance my loans for a better deal, and at the same time also required him to liaise with another conveyancing firm during the sale of one of my investment properties. This kind of complexity was no problem for Mars and his team at UFinancial, and everything worked out as planned.I highly recommend Mars and UFinancial to assist you in securing finance for your home, they seriously saved my partner and I time, money and stress and delivered above our expectations.A massive thankyou again Mars !!! I look forward to reaching out again when I'm ready to tackle the next investment.

Andrew and Bryce make the whole refinancing of investment loans so easy. My previous experience with financing was so awful that I had been willing to pay extra for my loans rather than go through the process again.I finally took the plunge with UFinancial and was so happy with the process. Being able to docusign documents and having the requirements explained to me over the phone or via email was a pleasant way to get all the documentation done.Thank you to Bryce and the team for assisting us along the way.

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! Simply signing a few documents electronically and handling some mortgage paperwork. UFinancial Torquay truly exceeded my expectations, and I am genuinely delighted with my decision to choose them for such a significant milestone in my life.
