Josh and the team at Pursue Wealth are absolute miracle workers! I’ve been working with Josh for years; managing my finances, investments and property portfolio, but he out did himself this time. I went from a borrowing capacity of $450,000 to buying my family home for $710,000, which meant to absolute world to me. AND I even have money left over! He always made time for my calls in between his busy schedule to answer any concerns I had. I have now built a great financial future and I owe it all to Josh and the team at Pursue Wealth. Thank you!!!

Josh and Sam are really knowledgeable and accommodating. They have helped us to restructure our financial life, and provide us with certainty and hope for the future.

Sam and Josh are so warm, friendly and approachable, they make the often daunting experience of financial planning completely painless. Sam is so generous with her time and wisdom, and is gently guiding us to where we want to be with clear goals and solid strategies. With her wealth of knowledge (love a pun) and personable delivery, we feel better informed, relieved and actually excited about what the future holds. The peace of mind that comes with her expertise is invaluable. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Pursue Wealth were extremely helpful in our efforts to buy our first home. Josh assisted us and what I liked the most is that he is a highly skilled financial adviser and not just a mortgage broker which means he will go above and beyond to assist us, taking into account our whole situation while assisting us.I believe it is hard to find that level of service anywhere else when looking to secure a loan.

Both Tom and Josh went above and beyond their duties. They responded to all my questions straight away and always had an answer for me. I am a bit older to be getting a loan but they assured me the whole way through the application that it would be ok. Loan approved and in my new home all due to their hard work. Thanks heaps. Would highly recommend you both.

I was a bit hesitant and apprehensive going in but Josh made all the time to explain my future in simple terms. He provided the information I needed to feel at ease, to commit to it and after only a couple of months, I’m seeing genuine and honest growth for my future. The plan is tailor made to me, suits my needs and fits in my budget.Very excited about the future financially and really happy with the progress in such a short space of time.
