Michael from Circle Finance Group was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our home buying journey. From day one, he took the time to walk us through our borrowing capacity, pre-approval, and the different loan scheme options available to us, always explaining things clearly and patiently. He made a genuinely stressful process feel manageable and gave us confidence at every stage, right through to settlement. We couldn't have asked for a better broker and would recommend Michael to anyone looking to buy a home. Thank you for everything!

Moving is always a very stressful time, but Michael took the pressure off me by making sure that throughout the process I didn't need to worry about finance and just needed to provide required documents, review and sign. Michael is very professional and accommodating. Michael also allows his clients to choose their preferred lender, while making sure they get the best rate.
Justi C.
We had a complex settlement and structure. Michael kept us fully informed and ensured our housing loan was organised and set up correctly with our bank. Many thanks Michael.
Henry G.
We highly recommend Michael Lawes from Circle Finance Group. Michael provided clear guidance through every stage of the mortgage process, from assessing our borrowing capacity to comparing loan options and finalising approval. Michael’s experience, transparent communication, and ability to secure a highly competitive rate (better than the published rate) sets the standard. You can’t go wrong picking Michael as your mortgage broker. Cheers, Henry

Would recommend if you are starting out and unsure of what you are doing, very helpful.
