About Our Expertise

Clint Bravo has been my trusted financial advisor and mortgage broker since 2003. His professionalism, approach, knowledge of the industry, banks and their products has helped us build wealth and do it in a secure & relaxed way.

A friend recommended Clint Bravo in 2005 when we were negotiating’ our first 100% home loan with the bank. As first home buyers we really didn’t know what we were doing, and he guided us through the inevitable hiccups and requests for more information and the first home buyer’s grant application process. Clint helped us to get a 0.7% interest rate reduction on the same loan with the same bank we had approached. Six years later he has helped us to buy our second home using the equity from our first. Our first home has now become an investment property. We went back a second time because he we knew he would get us a better loan outcome, and provide a buffer of advice and explanation between us and the bank. He has taken a lot of time to answer our questions about the loan structure and documents, to follow up the bank and come up with options when things don’t go quite right, and has even provided bonus value-add advice on negotiating with real estate agents to get a good outcome on price. It’s a level of service that banks just don’t provide. I can particularly recommend Clint’s calm, helpful approach, and the ease of dealing with him (we correspond mainly by email, which is perfect for busy people). We’ll be seeing him again for home #3.

I wish to thank you for all the work you did in handling the purchase of my recent property after I was told by my current bank that I was unable to purchase another property. So not only have I purchased the property, I am looking also for another. Clint’s overall proactive approach he took, together with his constant updates to myself and to my real agent, showed his professionalism, enthusiasm and efficiency in getting the task completed with the least amount of fuss.

Furthermore, Clint’s politeness and patience only added to making our constant dialogue that much better. The conveyancing company you suggested, which I took up, proved to be of great benefit insofar as all the necessary documentation was processed most thoroughly and efficiently. They too kept me constantly updated. I would certainly recommend Clint Bravo and the Finsure and would not hesitate to take you up as my broker for any future property purchases.

Buying an investment property for the first time can be a daunting task, especially when you live in Japan. I really had no idea how to approach the whole task and living overseas made it seem almost impossible. After researching on the internet about bank loans I was pretty sure that I would not be able to secure a loan as I was living overseas, fluctuating exchange rates and earning Yen not Australian dollars. I was referred to Clint Bravo by a friend who had nothing but praise for him. I first emailed Clint in January, 2008 and explained my situation (living overseas) and that I wanted to buy an investment property in Australia but was unsure about how to proceed.

As you can imagine, I had many questions relating to the buying process and loan application process. Clint never failed to reply to my emails promptly and his answers were always clear and encouraging. I eventually bought an investment property in September, 2009. Although this was almost 2 years after my first initial email to Clint, we had regular contact (via email) over those 2 years and Clint never tired of my questions! I feel that if I had approached the banks directly and applied for an investment loan I would have probably been unsuccessful. Clint was able to use his knowledge and experience in banking and finance to help me obtain a bank loan for an investment property, which was always my dream. I have never met Clint face to face, only through email, but feel that he really cares about his clients and gives personal service. Throughout our correspondence I only dealt with Clint. I think dealing with only 1 person throughout the whole application process made it much easier and I always felt reassured that I could contact Clint directly if I needed. My loan application was probably not a high amount in investment terms (under $250,000), however I always felt that I was an important client to Clint and that he always had me in mind, not the bank. I would not hesitate in recommending Clint to my family and friends and intend to use Clint’s services in future property investments. I feel very fortunate that I was referred to Clint from the beginning. I think that his help and advice definitely made the difference in turning my investment dream into a reality. Thanks Clint!

Clint’s overall proactive approach he took, together with his constant updates to myself and to my real agent, showed his professionalism, enthusiasm and efficiency in getting the task completed with the least amount of fuss.

Furthermore, Clint’s politeness and patience only added to making our constant dialogue that much better. Going through a personal separation is one of the worst experiences anyone can go ever go through.

Thankfully, I was referred to by a friend that highly recommended the services of one Clint Bravo. Clint listened, understood and provided excellent advice which made the separation and financial agreement very straight forward. Not only did I resolve my major financial issue I also refinanced my loan after I was declined by my current lender. He also got a much better interest rate on the new home loan, but most importantly I kept my principle place of residence in which my children called home. Clint’s professionalism, service and knowledge made it a whole less stressful. Thanks

My wife and I had begun the process of refinancing our mortgage 2 months ago. Our experience with other brokers was painful to say the least.

Clint was recommended to us, with his assistance we achieved our refinancing goals.

Through his experience, we lodged documents within 7 days and to our surprise we received our approval within a fortnight.

Clint’s professionalism and vast experience enabled my wife and I to make an informed decision moving forward. His communication with us ensured we were kept up to date along the process.

My wife and I would like to thank Clint for all his work, assistance and guidance through the refinancing process.
