The team at FINR Advisory delivered a genuinely outstanding experience from start to finish. From the initial consultation, it was clear I was in good hands. Derrick helped me understand what I could realistically afford and set the foundation for a clear strategy. As a first home buyer, the process can feel overwhelming, but his calm and structured approach made everything far more manageable. He also gave me a clear perspective on the different levels of asset quality at various price points, which helped me understand what I could aim for if I pushed a bit further. That insight was motivating and shaped my approach. Working with Trent was a game changer. The sessions we had together really opened my eyes to how much thought and analysis goes into choosing the right asset. He took the time to understand my goals and made sure every decision was backed by data and strategy, which gave me a lot of confidence in the direction we took. When it came to execution, Liz and Nic were exceptional. They translated everything we discussed into a targeted search, constantly monitoring the market and moving quickly when the right opportunity came up - inspecting, providing a detailed appraisal, and negotiating effectively with the agent. They also went above and beyond throughout the entire process, always responsive and proactive with follow-ups involving the conveyancer, building and pest inspections, and other key steps along the way. We secured the right property before auction and below appraisal about $50k under despite strong competition. That result really showed the value of having the right team in your corner. Avoiding auction also removed a lot of stress, and their negotiation skills and relationships made a clear difference. On the finance side, Hagen, Jason, Jo and the team were just as impressive - proactive, detail-oriented, and always available to explain things clearly. Their follow-through with the lender and support leading into settlement made the process feel smooth and under control. Overall, the entire team was professional, responsive, and genuinely focused on achieving the best outcome. What could have been a stressful and uncertain process felt structured and well-managed the whole way through. I couldn’t have done this without them and would highly recommend FINR Advisory to anyone looking for a team that knows what they’re doing and actually delivers.

FINR were recommended to me from someone who also came to them based on a recommendation. So let me continue the chain. My experience with FINR was very positive. I'd been with my previous bank/lender for c20 years so even the thought of exploring my options was overwhelming. Derrick, Paul, and the whole team were aware of just how big a decision I was making. They helped me explore options, listened to my needs and answered my questions. I felt supported but never rushed. I'm very happy with the outcome they achieved.

We had a great experience working with Liz, Trent and Derrick from start to finish. They really took the time to listen to what we wanted, understood our budget clearly, and never pushed us beyond what we were comfortable with. Even with our ever-changing strategies and areas we were considering, they stayed patient, adaptable, and proactive — always suggesting good houses that suited our needs and were well within our budget. The properties they recommended were well researched and aligned with our goals. What stood out the most was their constant support and coordination throughout the entire process — from inspections to negotiations and finally securing the property. They made what could have been a stressful journey feel smooth and well managed. We truly appreciate their honesty, professionalism, and dedication, and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to buy a home with confidence.
