We had such a great experience with Cath and the team at Foster Russo & Co. They handled our refinance incredibly smoothly from start to finish, making what could have been a stressful process feel simple and straightforward. They really took the time to understand our particular situation and found the right product to suit our needs, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. It gave us a lot of confidence knowing they were focused on what would work best for us long-term. Our schedules are pretty hectic, but they were so flexible and accommodating, always working around us and keeping everything moving without any hassle. Communication was clear, timely, and professional the whole way through. You can really tell they know their stuff and genuinely care about getting the best outcome. We felt supported at every step and couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend Cath and the team to anyone looking for a seamless and stress-free finance experience!

We had an outstanding experience working with Cath and the team at Foster Russo & Co. As three friends trying to purchase a property together, our financial situation was far from straightforward, but Cath navigated every complexity with absolute professionalism, clarity, and care. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our individual circumstances and our shared goal, and then came up with a strategy to get us a mortgage at a great rate with a bank that met our ethical criteria. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire process - transparent, incredibly responsive, and reassuring during what could have been a very stressful time. What really stood out was her ability to problem-solve and advocate for us. She made what felt like an overwhelming process not only manageable, but genuinely smooth. We’re so grateful for her expertise and support in helping us buy our home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cath and Foster Russo & Co to anyone - especially if your situation is a little complex and you need someone who really knows what they’re doing. P.S. so fantastic as a group of women/non-binary friends to get to work with an all-woman team to achieve our home ownership dream as well!

Absolutely amazing! In the refinancing of our mortgage, not only was Cath from Roster Russo & Co incredibly professional and reliable, she was also very friendly and genuine, which made the whole experience so smooth and manageable. Cath was always available for questions, very prompt, and completely understood our goals. Also, one of our family members is trans and a few of us are queer, and Cath was unwaveringly warm, respectful of pronouns, and just lovely in all her interactions with each of us. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We can’t thank Cath and the Team at Foster Russo & Co enough for all their help in getting our mortgage approved as first home buyers using the 5% government scheme. They made the entire process easy to understand and guided us through every step with patience and professionalism. The team was incredibly friendly, responsive, and flexible with meeting times, which made everything so much less stressful. We always felt supported and informed throughout the journey. Highly recommend Foster Russo & Co to anyone looking for a mortgage broker, especially first home buyers!

I can’t recommend Cath and her team highly enough. Refinancing my home into my own name after a separation was an emotional and stressful process, but they were compassionate, patient, informative, and incredibly understanding from start to …
