Reviews

Our clients love us.

"Jono was awesome. I was paying overs at CBA and needed to release equity from our unit. I had no idea how much valuations can vary between banks, but Jono did a full market comparison and came back with three strong lending options that all beat what I had. The whole process was quick and painless and I ended up with a much better rate and the equity I needed."

— Joshua H.

"We had a very smooth, straight-forward experience with Jono refinancing our mortgages. He was very communicative and made the process feel a lot simpler than we've had with previous brokers. Also friendly & nice to work with!"

— Frances E.

"Jono is an absolute professional. He took the time to understand exactly what we needed, walked us through every option clearly, and got us a fantastic outcome. Couldn't recommend him highly enough."

— Stephen I.

"After speaking to Jono he got our rate down to 5.84% within a day. He was clear, fast, and made the whole refinance feel like nothing. Couldn't recommend Castell Finance more highly."

— James M.

"Refinanced our home and an investment property and saved almost $9,000 a year. Jono walked us through every option and pushed the lender for a sharper rate. Professional and very easy to deal with."

— Sarah K.

"First home buyer with no clue what I was doing. Castell explained FHB schemes, LMI, the lot — and got me into a place I didn't think I could afford. Would not have happened without Jono."

— Liam T.
