An updated review - Peter helped once again and same top notch service. Very impressive. ================================================== Peter assisted me with refinancing/restructuring my loans and I must say he did a commendable job, very impressed with his service. He is a mortgage broker backed by his honest work ethics, and excellent customer service. He also has a tab on whats happening around in overall real estate market, and having such a person as mortgage advisor is an asset for an active investor. I will highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a reliable mortgage broker.

The Wollongong office of the Astute Financial network, on Swan Street. Offers financial planning alongside lending — convenient, but worth asking how referrals between the two arms are remunerated.
