Andrew, Ken, and the team at Aussiewide FS got me a partner a great rate on the loan for our first home, and then did it with a tight settlement period over Christmas / New Years. I would really recommend to anyone out there looking to take (some of) the stress out of organising finance for their new place.

Cannot recommend Andrew and the team enough!! As a first home buyer, the process can be very confusing and scary but everyone at AFS have been great. After my first meeting with Andrew I felt like it was completely under control and he took care of everything for me.

I couldn't recommend Andrew and the team at Aussiewide more highly! As a first home buyer, applying for finance initially seemed like a very daunting process. However, from the get-go, Andrew was approachable, understanding and so knowledgeable. Everything was taken care of for me and the team made applying for and securing a loan so incredibly easy. I can now look forward to building my first home with total peace of mind! I'll be recommending Aussiewide to all my family and friends :)
