Finance For Living - Simon O'Kelly and Ainslie Conheady

Finance for Living assisted me with my mortgage a few years ago and a refinance late last year. Simon and his team are amazing; they distill complex arrangements into easily digestible information, are hugely accessible, and have obtained amazing outcomes for me. Purchasing a property as the sole owner was made easy and reassuring by FFL - I had a trusted advisor who understood my needs and I felt supported in making big decisions. Simon was recommended by several of my sister's colleagues who had used his services. I will always return to the team in future.

Simon and his team made the switch to refinance and get a better deal so smooth and stress free. They gave me as many options as possible and were so patient and helpful with all my questions. Simon always follows up with how things are going to make sure my loan suits my financial circumstances at the time.

Simon and Ainslie always go above and beyond to get us the best deal for whatever our circumstances require at the time. Also so helpful to have someone else doing the thinking and legwork for us! Highly recommended service.

Simon & Ainslie went above and beyond to help us refinance our existing home loan, they were thorough and patient to provide us with the best advice with what would work for us. I would highly recommend Finance for Living for all your finance needs. This is the second time we have used their services and both times were seamless and stress free.

Thank you for all your hard work Simon and Ainslie.

Tailored support and advice, highly recommend this service. Absolutely faultless! Fantastic knowledge of the current market and able to explore great offers. All members of the team are consistent and keep you updated and informed throughout the process. We were able to get an amazing new home loan given the recent increases in interest rates, total game changer

Simon and his entire team are all really great to work with. They helped me get my initial home loan and then helped me refinance more recently. Both times i had a multitude of questions, and they took the time to work through each one with me, with patience, and kept me updated throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend them.

Simon, Ainslie and Jess at Finance For Living were absolutely fantastic in facilitating the whole process of purchasing our first home. From working out a purchasing budget right to the day of settlement they were always incredibly supportive and made every part of the process clear and simple. We would highly recommend them for all mortgage brokering services.

Simon & his team really go above and beyond to ensure a smooth transition through every step of financing a home. They listened to countless questions with patience & really take the time to make sure you fully understand everything before going ahead. I have and will continue to recommend them to every person I know!

Simon and the team at Finance for living have supported us throughout applying for our first mortgage, refinancing and applying for a second mortgage for a new property. Their service and advice is always top notch and they take a lot of the stress out of the process.

Simon, Jess, and Ainsley were so fantastic throughout the process of applying and securing my mortgage. As stressful as the process is, I felt I was in good hands and that removed a considerable amount of the pressure. They kept me updated the whole way.
My situation was a little out of the ordinary and Simon, Jess, and Ainsley were up for the challenge and worked tirelessly to make it happen. They even called me once settlement happened, which was a beautiful surprise!

I'd recommend the team at Finance for Living for straightforward and not so straightforward mortgages, they are so knowledgable and work miracles!

Simon and his team were very knowledgeable and helpful during every step of the process. They offered sound advice at the right times, and kept everything smooth and simple. Highly recommend!

Simon and his team brought so much knowledge, experience and understanding to the table that I was blown away. The outcome they achieved, the advice along the way and the management of all the fiddly paperwork and requirements means that I am an incredibly satisfied customer who can't recommend them enough.

Simon and the rest of the Finance for Living team work together like a well oiled machine.

Simon was fabulous in understanding my property needs and finding the best loan to fit the purpose.

His team were brilliant in guiding me through each step right up to and including settlement, keeping me abreast of where everything was at all the way through!

Incredibly responsive and exceptional at communication. I couldn't ask for better service.

Simon goes way beyond a normal mortgage broker would. I've referred Simon and the Finance for Living team to my friends and colleagues and will continue to do so for years to come.

Thanks so much Simon!

Simon and James are great to deal with. They do all the research and find the best deal for your circumstances. All I had to do was a bit of paperwork! Highly recommend!

Simon and his team were a great support for us when buying our first home. Great communication and timely responses made the whole process stress free for us. Would definitely recommend Simon.

The process of applying for a home loan was made easy with Simon & James.
No matter what our circumstances Simon & James where there to help day and night, pushing to achieve our end goal. Within a few short weeks we had a conditional approval. We found our first home and it got easier from there.
Anything is possible with a friendly can do attitude and this we found at finance for living. I highly recommend their services.

Approximate cost: $500000

We were recommended Simon from an friend and the Finance at Living team(Simon, James and Jess) were fabulous. Received excellent advice tailored to our situation and very attentive and responsive service. They also assisted in escalating early settlement process with the bank. We required a mortgage application for a new loan and refinancing two other mortgages. Would highly recommend!

The whole team at Finance for Living were exceptional. From our very first meeting with Simon we were supported to secure financing to purchase our first home, and now 2 years later James has supported us to refinance and secure a better home loan package. Emails, calls and msgs are always on time and replied to promptly, everyone is super friendly and most importantly they make the entire process simple and easy to understand, always leaving us feeling well supported and confident that they were providing us with the most beneficial financial advice possible.

Simon & James are both very skilled and knowledgeable about home loans, and have been helping me for a few years now. My lending has not been straightforward. They initially worked under pressure of critical deadlines to get my home loan in place, with their experience of using different lenders being of major benefit.
Years later, they keep in touch and continue a formal loan review program, so I've just refinanced and saved thousands thanks to their follow up service.

James and the team could not have done more to help us achieve our dreams.
Amazing team, incredible people who really care about their clients. Thank you very much.

I cant say how supportive and helpful Simon and his team have been. They make it as easy as they can to manage the whole process and contacted me when they felt that refinancing could be a really helpful and a viable option. Simon takes time to explain things and go through the whole process. They offer support the whole way through. Including gentle reminders. Thanks so much!!

I've used Simon and the team a number of times over the past 10 years and always receive brilliant service. They take a stressful and at times frustrating process and simplify things so I don't need to worry about anything, with full confidence they'll deliver what they promise every time. Not to mention the money they save me with the advice and experience they provide.

Second time we have used Simon and team and they have been great throughout. Very detailed and make sure you are across all you need to be at each stage. Very much recommend.

Simon and his team were absolutely amazing, I can’t rate them highly enough! This was our first time buying a house so we were quite nervous but they made the whole process so easy for us and guided us through every step of the way. Their service was outstanding, they patiently answered all our many questions, and they were very quick to respond to our emails and phone calls. They have so much knowledge of products and found us a great loan that suited our needs. We will definitely be using them again!

Simon and James and the whole Finance for Living team were incredible. We had really tight timelines to get approval and had a bit of a complicated situation. But they were on top of everything - they pulled out all the stops to make sure everything came through on time. James was wonderful - he explained everything, kept us updated, was patient with all our questions and anxiousness (we were nervy first home buyers). I really can't recommend them highly enough!

Got me a fantastic new home loan rate

Simon and James were absolutely outstanding, guiding us through a tricky process about which we knew nothing. Simon was always available and willing to help get us our loan. We are now in our dream house and we have these guys to thank.

Simon has helped myself, my sister and a friend get the best mortgage to buy a house. He is an expert in his field, takes great care to provide a high level of service and fast response to queries, and perhaps most importantly, has a high level of integrity and honesty. He keeps in touch semi-regularly and is always happy to provide advice, market insight and industry information. I will keep recommending him to family and friends, and look forward to work with him to buy my next house.

For someone who has never been exposed to the Australian property market, partnering with someone you can trust is essential to say the least. From my first meeting with Simon he has been nothing but helpful. Together with James they've been available [and patient!] all the way throughout the process.
I wouldn't hesitate picking up the phone and call them if needed. Would highly recommend.

Very customer focussed and provide suitable options that meet the clients needs and specific circumstances. Prompt, detailed, supportive during the entire process. Highly recommended, I've let my friends and family know about their services.
