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

We had a fantastic experience working with Finance for Living. The team was incredibly patient with us throughout the entire process and took the time to guide us every step of the way. Re-financing can be overwhelming, but they made everything clear, straightforward and stress-free. Their communication was excellent, and we always felt supported and confident in the decisions we were making. We really appreciated their professionalism and genuine care, we highly recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable mortgage broker.
If we could give more than 5 stars, we would! The whole team were fabulous, from start to finish. We were only 'thinking' about buying a home and in less than 8 weeks later we were moving in! From our initial info gathering chat with Simon, he was so relaxed and patient as we asked many questions. Ainslie was equally fabulous, when discussing loan options she explained the details of each option in such simple terms and again answering many questions patiently. Then when it came to lodging all our documents, Laura was brilliant! Again, patient and super helpful. Thanks so much team, particularly given we were interstate & often remote during the process, all done online or over the phone, it was super smooth! Highly recommend!
Simon & the team are hands down the BEST you can have. Couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Ainslie and Simon and the whole team at Finance for Living have been so excellent throughout my whole journey of buying and Irving my home. They are efficient, responsive and genuine in their whole approach. Their online portal makes it an easy process of getting documents together and I have the comfort of knowing everything is secure. I would highly recommend them to anyone
As a Buyers Agent I deal with many Mortgage Brokers, most are good, some are very good and a few excellent. I rate Finance for Living in the excellent category. They have helped many of our clients, sometimes with really problematic circumstances obtain good quality loans that meet their needs. More than that they are really easy to deal with, proactive, communicative, patient and responsive. Highly recommend.
