Karen did an amazing job helping us find the right bank to refinance our home loan. She was patient with us after we went back and forth a few times figuring out what we wanted to do and understood exactly what we needed. Thank you again Karen we will be recommending you to anyone that’s in need.

Our family business has been using Karen and her team for the last couple of years, highly recommended, process is smooth and stress free. If you need any assistance regarding finance I wouldn't be going to anyone else but Karen.

We couldn’t be happier with the service and support we received from Karen. From start to finish, she made the whole process so much easier, kept us informed, answered all our questions and went above and beyond to help us get the best outcome.

I cannot recommend Karen and her team highly enough. It is literally a mine field now to apply for a home loan and Karen made it all so easy. Guiding us through the endless forms to be completed and negotiating the best option for us. I really do not think this would have been possible with her.

I can't recommend Karen Donato and Green Finance Group highly enough. Even though my wife and I live in Brisbane and she's based in Cairns, the distance was never an issue. Karen made the entire process smooth, straightforward, and stress-free with excellent communication every step of the way. She was always professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to finding the best outcome for me. No question was ever too much trouble, and she took the time to explain everything clearly, making what could have been a complicated process feel easy. If you're looking for a mortgage broker who truly cares about her clients and goes above and beyond, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Karen and Green Finance Group. Thank you again for all your help!
