I cannot speak highly enough about the service, market knowledge and professionalism that Simon O’Kelly used to guide me with a reversed mortgage on my home - and most of all he showed me that there was hope and light at the end of the tunnel - from my very desperate and anxious world of trying to live on a pension - the relief and the load off my shoulders was incredible - he talked to me - he gently found out all the issues I was having and gave his assurance that I wasn’t doing anything wrong and that he could help me get on top of this situation I was in - he was relentless in his contact with me throughout this journey - he was prepared to go that extra mile so many times - he took the extreme worry and anxiety I was having from me and showed me I was definitely NOT alone - I can now sleep with peace of mind In a business world of distrust I found Simon’s integrity beyond reproach and any of his staff I dealt showed the same professionalism which is somewhat hard to find these days I am only to happy to speak to anyone who would like further confirmation of Simon and his company’s services Thank you

We recently worked with Finance For Living to secure our first investment property, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, and incredibly supportive. The team made what could have been a complex process feel smooth and manageable, guiding us through every step with clarity and confidence. Their attention to detail and commitment to keeping everything on track meant we never felt overwhelmed. They were always available to answer our questions, provided sound advice, and ensured that timelines were met with ease. It’s reassuring to work with people who truly know their craft and genuinely care about helping their clients succeed. If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who delivers outstanding service and peace of mind, we highly recommend Finance For Living. They’ve earned our trust, and we’ll absolutely return to them for future property ventures.

Simon and the teams knowledge of the current volatile market was exactly what we needed to make informed decisions for our loan service. As we are at the stage of life where Retirement is also nearing , we also felt that his resources and connections gave us the ability to set retirement plans with confidence! Thankyou Team !

Simon and his team are exceptionally knowledgeable about the market and lenders, and make the process of loan approval and lender selection super easy and tailored to your needs. The team are with you every step of the way; this is my second time purchasing a property with Simon's help, and I couldn't recommend him more highly.

I can't reccommend Simon and his team enough...over the years he has been able to access funds for me whenI have needed it when everyone else couldn't. Totally professional and willing to got the extra mile. Many thanks Simon and team. Regards Anthony Morley , Sandringham VIC

We had the pleasure of working with Simon O’Kelly at Finance for Living, and we cannot recommend him highly enough. As first home buyers navigating a property purchase from overseas, we didn’t know where to begin, but Simon and his team were simply outstanding from start to finish. They took the time to truly understand our situation and goals, and then guided us through every step of the mortgage process with patience, clarity, and professionalism. Simon was always available to answer our questions—no matter how big or small—and helped us feel confident in every decision we made. If you’re looking for a reliable mortgage broker in Melbourne who treats his clients with honesty and integrity, this is who you want in your corner. We are incredibly grateful for his support in helping us secure our new (first) home.

I'm so impressed by the service given by Simon and his team to get my first home! Not only were they able to find me a higher borrowing limit than I found from others, they also got it at a great rate, and to top it off, matched my preference for an ethical provider too! His knowledge of the market left also me feeling so much more informed after our time was done. I was always well informed and felt in safe hands the whole time. Even when there were a few glitches around settlement time (not due to Simon!), I still felt completely confident that everything was going to be okay - and it was! I have absolutely no hestitation in recommending Finance for Living to anyone looking for a new mortgage. I know exactly where I'll be going when I need to update my mortgage in a few years!

Totally pro from start to finish

As always, the team at Finance for Living worked quickly to get a result over the line for my partner and I. Whilst working with speed, the comprehensive service was second to none and all avenues were explored fully and a tight timeline was met. thank you!

I have used Simon and the team on several occasions. They have been amazing each time. Providing no nonsense advice, they have fully supported me in the process of obtaining financial assistance. They have my personal interests at the forefront of their mind and ensure I am kept in the loop, with regular contact. I will continue to use their services in the future.

We have been with Simon since buying our first home in 2017 and he has supported us with refinancing and purchasing a new home. Simon and his team are easy to communicate with, supportive and non judgmental (of some of my questionable spending habits). Simon and his team make things which can be very stressful super easy.

My best friend and his partner were very pleased with Simon as their broker and recommended him to me and he's been excellent. He was very knowledgeable and provided great service when I was looking to refinance my mortgages, and found me a much better deal with my home loans.
