"We have been working with Chris as a Financial Planner and more recently a Mortgage Broker as we just purchased a new house in the Geelong area. He has done a fantastic job helping us plan our finances and determine how much we can afford on a new house. Since making the purchase he has been working with the bank to make sure everything gets done before settlement."
“Our financial planner, Chris, has such a wealth of knowledge regarding all things financial. He's helped us to take leaps and bounds towards our financial goals by taking the time to really understand the uniqueness of our own financial position and implement strategies to see us thriving now and in the future. He's not only good at what he does but he makes sure to share his own understanding in ways that aren't baffling to someone who knows very little about the financial world.”
