What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Port Macquarie, this finance brokerage is repeatedly associated with James, whose assistance spans home loans, investment property purchases, caravan finance and small business lending. A handful of customers describe how he clarifies options in plain language, simplifying mortgage applications so first home buyers feel informed rather than daunted. A detail many reviews return to is the pace and smoothness of each deal, with finance arranged without drawn-out back-and-forth and clients returning across many years for further loans. Business owners note that where mainstream banks proved hesitant, practical alternatives were offered without delay.

More than one review highlights James's professionalism, patience and responsiveness, including prompt return calls and careful attention to individual circumstances. His friendly, dependable manner and readiness to answer questions before and after settlement recur throughout the accounts, as does the impression that clients are treated as lasting relationships rather than one-off transactions. Advice on structuring loans and weighing lender options is described as grounded and tailored to each situation. First home buyers, property investors and caravan purchasers alike point to a process marked by transparency and ease, from the initial conversation through to the completed loan and the ongoing support that follows.

yaama [yum'ma] – hello This is not my first mortgage application — however, this has been by far, the exemplar. From the outset, James asked the right questions and explained their relevance in simple terms. The kind of terms I like: clear, direct, and customer focused. James' ability to take the complexity out of it, and add connection into it, has given me an experience where I not only enjoy the financials — I understand them. If you're sitting with the anxiety of a big financial decision — whether it's your first or your fifth — James will meet you where you are. By asking the right questions from the start, my preapproval came through in less than 24 hours. The loan approved in 48. I would recommend James as the first call to make for any life-changing purchase, any business, anyone. He is the best I've encountered in this industry — transparent, honest, and genuinely solution-focused in any situation. gabanginda [gubba nin'da] – thank you again, James. You've earned it.

James delivered a level of service that far exceeded anything I have ever encountered in the finance space. He made the entire process seamless, transparent, and genuinely enjoyable. James took the time to understand exactly what I needed and worked tirelessly to secure the most competitive finance package available—and he did it with professionalism, honesty, and a level of care that is truly rare in this industry. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, communicates clearly, and genuinely has your best interests at heart, look no further than James and his team at Get Approved. They are outstanding at what they do, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for finance. Absolutely five stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

James truly delivers when it comes to getting your loan approved. He guided us through a complex transaction that made it possible to begin our property development journey. Thanks to his deep understanding of the lending landscape and his determination to find the right fit for our needs, we were able to secure our first development project. We couldn’t have done it without his expertise and persistence.
