Who We Are

At Finance for Living, we have extensive lending experience and are passionate about customer service.

When it comes to home loans, most people tend to shop around for the best interest rate. On the surface that may seem like the best idea, but what most people don’t realise is that the best interest rate doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the best deal to suit your unique requirements, circumstances and goals.

Delivering Award-Winning Customer Service

Amazing service. I have used Simon and the team on several occasions. They have been amazing each time. Providing no nonsense advice, they have fully supported me in the process of obtaining financial assistance. They have my personal interests at the forefront of their mind and ensure I am kept in the loop, with regular contact. I will continue to use their services in the future.
Above and beyond!! This is the best way to describe Simon and his team. My wife and I had a unique situation involving a lost title (banks fault) on a house being used as equity for a new purchase. The entire team at finance for living worked day at night to get our situation resolved! Only because of them were we able to settle and move into our new home :) I can’t recommend them any more if I tried!
A big THANK YOU to Simon O'Kelly and the Finance for Living team for helping us refinance our home loan. They took the time to get to know us, our situation, goals and present well-suited options. The team even held our hands through the paperwork and followed up at appropriate times. Highly recommend for personalised and professional finance solutions.
My partner and I purchased a property with the help and guidance of Ainslie and theteam. Ainslie held our hand throughout the entire process and gave us genuine advice that helped us make the best decision for us and our future. We couldn't recommend Ainslie and the team enough. A Big Thank you to Ainslie!!
Made everything a breeze. Can't speak highly enough of Ainslie and the team at Finance for Living. The whole process was incredibly easy, and guided us through a few complex bits that would have been painful to navigate solo including settlement conditions. We were referred to them from friends, and I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.
