"They're all magicians!"
I think this is my 13th loan arranged through Rise High (it could be more). The team has always put my goals first and explored every lender policy to ensure that I'm not just able to achieve my objectives, but to get a great deal more than I ever thought possible. No wonder Rise High takes out just about every top award, every year. They're all magicians! There is simply no more nightmare of uncertainty, and their ethics is unparalleled. From 26 year of personal history in the property market, I couldn't offer any broker a higher commendation!

"Highly recommended!!"
RHFS helped us when we decided to buy our first house, and recently with refinancing our home loan. Thuy and Isabella did an amazing work and just leaving us to make the decision with a lot of useful information. Thanks for everything you have done for us, Thuy and Isabella and, of course, Rise High Financial Solutions.

"Always on the ball"
We are long-term clients of Rise High and would highly recommend them. Over the years, James and his team have always been helpful and efficient. Karyn has helped us with our most recent loan and she has been fantastic. The team has always been able to work to our needs and timelines, they’re always willing to help, always on the ball and have a great can-do attitude.

"Very Pleased!"
A HUGE thank you to Nhi & Bryan on the Rise High Financial Team, for their fantastic work. My husband and I have been engaging Thuy and her wonderful team since purchasing our first home back in (2011). Nhi & Bryan, we cannot thank you enough for all your staunch effort, fantastic communication and positive customer service in helping us secure our first investment property. Very Pleased! Thank you.

"Expertise and professionalism"
Our experience with Rise High was amazing. The process ended up being so much simpler than we had thought thanks to their hard work. The expertise and professionalism they showed meant that it was one less thing for us to worry about. We were kept updated all the way and we're so happy to now be in our new home. We would highly recommend Rise High for anyone looking for these services.

"have your interests at heart"
James and the team at Rise High were amazing. This was my first time getting a home loan, whereas for my partner has gone through the process with Rise High several times. I must admit I was a little nervous and heard of many bad experiences with other companies but this was certainly not the case. It was so easy, the team led us through the documents they needed and answered all my questions quickly, the whole process was absolutely seamless. James provided us with the best options so quickly and within 10 days we had approval. Pretty unheard of in this market at the moment, just goes to show with the right team anything is achievable. I would highly recommend Rise High to anyone who is looking for a mortgage broker who is trustworthy, reliable and who have your interests at heart.

"got me the best loan I am eligible for"
I had a great experience with Rise High Morgage Brokers. They saved me a lot on my loan and I am confident they got me the best loan I am eligible for. They communicated with me every step of the way and made the process really easy. Thank you

"No question is too complex"
The Rise High team are absolutely on point with everything. Their communication is 11/10. I've refinanced with them twice now and on to my 3rd loan. Each time I have been informed of every step along the way and kept in the loop with everything. No question is too complex. I've referred family and friends to Rise High and will continue to use them in the future!

"Knocked this one clean out of the park"
I can't rate Rise High Financial Solutions highly enough. When dealing with banks and conveyancers and navigating the sometimes convoluted pathways to property ownership it's important to have expert advice and motivated staff in the form of the team at Rise High 'batting for you'. Thank you so much, you knocked this one clean out of the park. Rob 😊
