We had interviews with several brokers before buying our first property, and Richard was clearly the best choice. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely helpful at every step - answering our questions and explaining each step of the process in detail. Buying an apartment and all financials around it can be stressful, but he made it easy. Highly recommend if you want someone reliable on your side.

We couldn’t recommend Richard and Michael highly enough as mortgage brokers! They were incredibly attentive, caring and genuinely invested in making the whole process as smooth and stress-free as possible for us. What really stood out to us was the level of care Richard showed throughout the process, even while he was overseas. He continued to stay on top of everything and made sure nothing was missed. It really showed us how much he cares about his clients and the outcome for them. There were a number of moving parts throughout the purchase and Richard was incredibly proactive in making sure everything was organised and completed on time. He was always available to answer our questions and took the time to make sure we understood everything along the way. We always felt like we were in safe hands. Thank you so much, Richard and Michael, for your patience, professionalism, expert advice and genuine care throughout the entire process. We’re so grateful for everything you did to help us get into our dream home. We couldn’t recommend Sum Finance highly enough and would absolutely use them again!
