I'm Sam, a finance broker with Astute Manly. I help you buy, refinance and invest with a clear plan, from the first chat through to settlement and beyond.
Your home loan is often where we start. Between Sam, the Astute Manly team and our partner Apexx Wealth, your finance, insurance and wealth can all be looked after under one roof in Manly.
Sam and his team at Astute Financial Manly have been absolutely incredible. I recently purchased my first home and would not have been able to do it without their endless support, guidance and kindness. … Sam went above and beyond particularly with answering all of my questions (and very promptly) and I always felt kept in the loop.

We have been a long-term customer of Astute Financial Manly … they recently helped us refinance a home loan to secure a much better deal for our investment property. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and completely stress-free. What really sets Sam and the team apart is their communication and attention to detail.

Throughout my entire multi year period of long wait times, nightmarish delays and complicated processes, we knew that no matter what Astute was the one consistent and reliable team we could count on. … We couldn't have done it without them!

Sam and his team have been wonderful to work with through out my property purchases the past 12+ years. They are professional, thorough and easily contactable which is so important when you are signing a contract. I have recommended Sam to friends looking to buy several times and I wouldn't hesitate to do so again.

Our situation was far from straightforward—we decided to place the property in our Family Trust after exchanging contracts, which meant the Astute team had to amend our loan application, obtain new approvals, and finalize everything within a tight two-week timeframe. … Sam was also incredibly supportive, regularly checking in and reassuring me that everything was on track.

Sam and his team were outstanding. They helped us over several years in our endeavour to break into the housing market. Having missed out twice, Sam never doubted that we would make it, and continued to work hard for us. They found the right lender at the right time, and we are now the proud owners of our first house in the Northern Beaches.

Sam and the team are professional, prompt and make everything smooth from my end. I found them through a recommendation, and will be recommending them to everyone I know!
I've spent more than 25 years in banking, finance and mortgage broking, and these days I look after clients across Sydney's Northern Beaches from the Astute office in Manly.
I'm part of the team at Astute Manly, so you get me and my team knowing your file from start to finish, backed by the wider Astute Financial network.
