What do recent reviews say?

Strawberry Finance stands out for consistent professionalism and a genuine commitment to solving complex lending problems. Sahil and Shaz have built a practice where borrowers with difficult circumstances (self-employed income, high LVRs, previous rejections) describe feeling heard and supported through to settlement.

Reviewers across first-time buyers, investment property, refinancing, and bridging finance report fast approvals (sometimes next day), clear explanations at each step, and proactive communication. The team's willingness to take on cases other brokers have declined appears to be their signature strength.

Tom Newman and his team handle every stage with genuine care, earning consistent praise for turning what clients feared as overwhelming into clear, manageable steps. They draw on real investing experience to unlock borrowing options others miss, communicate without jargon, and stay responsive throughout-the kind of broker who stays involved rather than disappearing after the initial chat. No hidden fees, no pressure. Whether you're a first-time buyer, self-employed, or building an investment portfolio across multiple properties, reviewers report Tom spots opportunities and bridges gaps (sometimes using creative non-bank options) that have saved them thousands and positioned them for their next purchase.

Paul and Fiona deliver consistent, calm guidance through purchase, refinance, and bridging loans. Reviewers repeatedly praise their speed, availability, and ability to translate complex paperwork into straightforward steps-whether first-time buyers in Alkimos or established purchasers navigating multi-year searches for rural property in Bullsbrook. Strength lies in personal attention: Paul listens to individual circumstances, presents options transparently, and stays proactive with updates. No reviewer reported frustration, delays, or misalignment with their needs. The team handles self-employed profiles and tricky situations (late-stage offers, bridging loans) without visible strain.
