FWD Financial

I was referred to Anthony Sloan at FWD Financial by a friend in Canberra who had also successfully utilized his services, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Securing an Australian investment property home loan while residing overseas as an Australian expat presents significant challenges, yet Anthony managed the entire process flawlessly. He has a profound understanding of lending policies and the unique financial frameworks that diplomats, foreign income earners, and overseas buyers must navigate. Despite the distance and time zones, Anthony maintained daily contact to ensure I was fully informed at every stage. He also communicated on a weekly basis with my conveyancer in Melbourne to ensure things were progressing smoothly. His responses to my innumerable queries were always meticulous, comprehensive, and thoroughly developed. When I was briefly back in Australia to finalise my purchase, he went above and beyond by taking my daily calls to ensure everything remained on track. Thanks to his efficiency and sound relationship with the lenders, he successfully accelerated my non-resident home loan from pre-approved to unconditional status in a matter of days. For any client—whether an Aussie expat or a local resident navigating either a typical or a complex lending scenario—I highly recommend Anthony for his unparalleled professionalism and mortgage broker expertise.

Anthony supported me through the process of purchasing my first home, and he was absolutely brilliant in terms of how he mentored and guided me through all of the challenges and administrative hurdles. It took me longer than expected to find my home, and Anthony patiently and warmly coached me through the emotional ups and downs of being at auctions and placing offers on homes I was not successful in securing. In the end, I found a great little starter home, and it has been a very happy purchase. I can't recommend Anthony and FWD Financial enough! He genuinely made the process more enjoyable, more human, and less overwhelming. I couldn't have done it without him!

I Highly recommend Anthony Sloane. None of my questions felt silly or unimportant. He is really approachable and I know I am in safe hands. I am much more confident making big financial decisions with his help. I feel very fortunate he was recomended to me.

We worked with Anthony as our broker for our new home purchase and had a really great experience. As first-time home buyers, we had lots of questions, but he was always very patient and took the time to explain everything clearly. He went the extra step to help us with our unique situation and made the whole process much smoother than we expected. His guidance and communication were excellent throughout. Really appreciate his support and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable broker.

Such great service. Anthony spent time understanding our needs so he could provide what we need. So far from a cookie cutter process that I can’t recommend Anthony enough.

I can honestly say working with Anthony from FWD Financial was such a smooth and reassuring experience from start to finish. From day one, I felt supported. Anthony genuinely cares not just about getting a deal across the line, but about making sure you feel confident and comfortable with your decisions. He went above and beyond to have everything finalised before I travelled overseas last year, which meant so much to me. That level of dedication and follow-through is rare. What really sets Anthony apart is that he’s not just a broker, he’s also a financial adviser. He took the time to understand my goals, my capacity, and my long-term plans, and structured everything in a way that made sense for both now and the future. If you’re looking for someone who leads with integrity, gives honest advice, and truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Anthony.

Was very happy with the refinancing of my home loan. Anthony took the time to show us a range of options and then work with us to understand the pros and cons of each; including the impact over a number of years. Will use again.
