From the first meeting with Jake, I could tell straight away Empower Wealth was the correct company to go through to buy by first investment property. Jake was wonderful in educating me with my potential options, as being 24 on around an average wage, there was different ventures I could take that would have different results. After pre approval came the buyers agent stage. Once again through my first meeting with Tuan, I was confident I would be able to buy a great investment property in the WA market. Tuan’s communication through the whole buying stage was perfect, I felt confident and comfortable through the whole process. Jake's team from start to finish was a privilege to work with. Shout out to Basanta & Yaren for assisting me through the process. After Tuan found my property, Mitch and Bec were excellent to work with to ensure we were tracking on schedule for settlement as well as setting me up in other aspects like Insurance. Overall, I will be coming back to purchase my second investment property in the near future. I look forward to working with Empower Wealth ongoing. Thanks, Mitch

My wife Charlotte and I already had a good mortgage broker when we engaged with Empower Wealth. We decided it would be a good idea to use the Empower Wealth Brookers as we were using other Empower Wealth services. Turns out this was a fantastic decision. Mel and her team were amazing. They were incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They made what could be a complex and confusing process, seamless and simple. They were always available to chat, responded to correspondence in a timely manner, and answered our many questions. Charlotte and I felt wrapped I support during the entire process. I couldn't recommend the team any higher. 10/10 will be return customers.
