Michael was incredibly patient and generous with his time over the past few months while exploring our refinancing options. He didn’t just answer our questions; he genuinely helped educate us on the current market conditions so we could make an informed decision. His service went above simple transaction advice. After reviewing the options and ways to structure the loan, we decided that the best solution for our specific situation was actually to stay with our current lender. Even though this meant he received no compensation for his work, he prioritized our financial security over his own commission and supported the decision fully. It is rare to find a professional who truly puts the client’s best interests first. We’ll be back to work with him again when our fixed term ends. If you are looking for honest, reliable advice without the pressure to switch just for the sake of a sale, we highly recommend him.
I was very impressed with the service provided by Michael Gentry after an enquiry I made through their website regarding refinancing. From the very beginning, he took the time to understand my financial goals and explained everything in a clear, professional, and approachable way. The advice I received was practical and tailored to my needs. Communication has been excellent—always responsive and proactive. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy financial adviser!”
Mike’s communication skills, professionalism, attention to detail, combined with a wealth of knowledge on the wide range of funding options and products available to him helped us understand our true position. From there, he was able to identify the right options for us and clarify his reasoning. He came at the right time for us, and we were able to expand our real estate portfolio through his experience. Thank you, Mike.
Michael was absolutely fantastic. We thought we were already on great rates, but he managed to review both our home and investment properties and found us significantly better options. What really stood out was his service – he was always available to answer our questions and made the entire refinancing process incredibly clear, simple, and completely stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and highly recommend his services!
I cannot recommend Michael Gentry highly enough, based on the assistance he recently provided us. He both helped us navigate refinancing an investment property which substantially improved the rate and repayments and also helped us considerably by connecting us with Roland, a financial planner at Shore Financial, who has been instrumental in helping us refocus our investment strategy. It was great to have Michael and Roland working together to give us a great experience and we’ll now be looking at another investment property as well as SMSF options. Great service from start to finish.
Michael Gentry is hands-down the best broker we’ve ever worked with. Michael’s professionalism, communication and level of service is unlike any other broker we’ve worked with before. He is proactive, highly responsive, and results-oriented. If you want someone who is focused and gets the deal done, call Michael.
Had a really good experience with Michael Gentry from Shore Financial, he was patient with my countless questions and took the time to explain everything for a beginner’s perspective. He went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and happy with the process. I was also impressed with the level of passion and knowledge he has for his field, and it helped me to relax and trust the process. I’ll definitely be coming back to Michael for any future financing I need to do and will recommend him to anyone looking to apply.
We used Shore for our first investment property purchase, and Michael was instrumental in helping us navigate the financing process. He also connected us with trusted professionals within his network who provided valuable support throughout the purchase journey. Despite a few unexpected challenges that were outside of our control, Michael and his team were proactive, responsive, and consistently advocated on our behalf to ensure everything was resolved in time. Their guidance and support made what could have been a stressful process much smoother, and we would highly recommend them to anyone looking for assistance with property finance.
I had a smooth experience refinancing two mortgages simultaneously with Shore Financial. My advisor, Michael Gentry, was incredibly helpful, and patient when my busy schedule delayed things for weeks, and he kept me in the loop the whole way through. He laid out all the bank offers visually so it was easy to just pick the best one, plus he managed to get me a great deal and a cashback offer. Really happy with the service from Michael and the team, would definitely recommend them.
Refinanced 2 investment loans through Shore based on recommendation from a friend. They made the whole process painless and quick and we were able to move ahead with confidence in our choice. I found Michael and the team always quick to respond to any question, even on weekends and public holidays!
Working with Michael Gentry and his team was a great experience from start to finish. Despite encountering some initial complexities with our application, Michael demonstrated remarkable persistence and expertise to ensure we achieved a successful outcome. He remained deeply committed to our family’s specific needs, providing clear communication and professional guidance at every pivotal moment. We are very grateful for his dedication and would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking a reliable and proactive mortgage broker.
