Brooke & Justin

Justin (00:00):
We actually heard about Direct Wealth through a good friend of ours. We were speaking to her up on our pool area at home, and she mentioned Erin and all the great work that Erin was able to do for her. That sparked our interest and we reached out.

Brooke (00:15):
I guess it was a little bit daunting really, when you think about, you’re talking about your finances with someone that you’ve never met before and in particular as a couple. You are also speaking quite openly around your individual circumstances, but also together as a couple.

Justin (00:30):
Erin’s experience really shone through in that first meeting. She was able to explain a lot of things to us. We don’t necessarily come from a finance background, so that explanation was sort of important for us in terms of what the process was going to be and the sort of steps that we would take post that first meeting. Prior to meeting Aaron and running through what we needed to run through, we had our own financial goals. This actually put all of our financial goals on the same page and we co-authored a financial plan together. I think the main thing that we’ve seen is the optimization of our insurances. That’s ultimately resulted in a reduction in our outgoing expenses when it relates to insurance, our superannuation funds in terms of the changes we’ve made in that particular space, and really having a growth view on what that portfolio was as opposed to a standard retail fund. Aaron and the team have been able to really tweak and optimise the returns on that.

Brooke (01:28):
It was just some really clear things to make us feel like we had this roadmap for our future and we feel confident and we just feel secure, which is really great

Justin (01:39):
And I’ve seen the best performance in my super fund effectively since its inception, so we’re extremely happy with the returns and the reductions that Erin and the team were able to make.

Brooke (01:52):
Just recently, actually, probably less than 12 months ago, we were lucky enough to purchase a beachfront apartment. That was one of our, I guess, long-term goals that kind of crept up a little bit quicker than we had hoped, but

Justin (02:08):
It really did.

Brooke (02:09):
But we’re really excited that we were able to secure that property and not only have Erin’s support and guidance through that, just managing our finances, but also just the connections that she has in the industry because we were then able to utilise her network to be able to then liaise with them to assist us with getting a loan and everything from kind of purchasing that property to receiving the keys on settlement. So that was a really great highlight for us. Yeah, the thing we value most is absolutely just that relationship. I mean, that is number one for us. We want to feel comfortable with the person that we’re working with.

Justin (02:51):
For me, I think it’s about the constant review process and that constant feedback loop regularly catching up with Erin and being able to update her on changes our life, and Erin being able to update us in terms of changes, in terms of, I guess potentially the approach changes in her team, additional advice that she can bring to our plan every year ongoing is definitely key for us. I

Brooke (03:16):
Would say absolutely. Don’t be hesitant. I think that it’s really important to seek that financial advice and support from someone that is knowledgeable and can provide you with all the information that you need. I think we are not taught this at school and as an adult it’s important to make an appointment and I’d say, yeah, definitely pop in and see the team at Direct Wealth because they’re going to provide you with a whole range of information and lots of things to consider. So definitely don’t be hesitant.

Justin (03:49):
There are a lot of aspects from my perspective that come into play when you’re talking about your personal finances and there’s a lot of things you may not even know about. So not going to see a financial advisor’s not going to open up any of that knowledge to you, and when you look at it by yourself, it can be daunting. Someone to actually coach you through and step you through it in a really easy to understand why I think is critical to your financial success.

Ross & Denise

Ross (00:00):
My name is Ross. This is my wife Denise. We’re both retired. We enjoy caravan and looking after our grandkids. We previously, we go along to our financial advisor for a half yearly or yearly checkup, and they did a lot of talking, did things on whiteboards, and really when we walked out we were still scrambling. None the wiser. Yeah, none the wiser. Whereas we went along to Simon and the very first day he sat opposite us and explained things in very easy to understand terms. Turned a pad around, showed us, and then said, do you understand this? Is this what you’re looking for?

Denise (00:45):
They’re very approachable. Even if you ask a very basic question, they’ll explain it to you in terms that we can understand, which is very

Ross (00:55):
Good, as they say, no question is silly. If we ask a question, there’s obviously a reason. So they are more than happy to break it down, talk to us about it, put it in a different format so that we understand, and it just makes life so much easier.

Denise (01:12):
So after meeting and dealing with direct wealth, we were able to purchase a caravan, which has been Ross’s dream for many, many years. And on our retirement we’ve seen quite a few places. We’ve been to West Australia, we’ve been to South Australia and Victoria, and had wonderful, wonderful trips, which are very enjoyable.

Ross (01:36):
We don’t have to worry about funds from our superannuation. We had enough there. When we go in these places, we’re able to just enjoy and take in what we’re seeing and not worry in the back of our mind that we shouldn’t be here. We can’t afford this.

Denise (01:53):
Have we got enough money

Ross (01:54):
With that apparently? Yeah. So it’s just been a life-changing experience that direct wealth have been able to set up for us. We understand totally where we’re going and how we’re going to get there.

Denise (02:06):
Anyone who is hesitant to talk to a financial advisor, I would recommend that just go and do it. There are so many different variants of what you can do with your money and your wages before you retire. It keeps changing all the time. And direct wealth, keep up to date with everything. It’s been very grateful. So please go and see a financial advisor.

Ross (02:33):
Yeah, these guys, that’s their job. They’re dealing with it day in, day out. They keep an eye on the markets. I don’t even know where or how to look at the markets, whereas that’s what they do and they’re on top of it. So go along, talk to them. They can tell you what’s happening in plain, simple to understand language and you’re in front. So definitely go and ask the question.

Sarah

Hi, my name’s Sarah. I have a business, 64 Property, in New Farm, and I’ve been working with Direct Wealth for about three to four years now. I was wanting to seek out a financial advisor for many reasons, but our family was growing quite rapidly, and for that reason, we had lots of different financial issues that we needed to work through. Also, with my business, with tax help, superannuation, and insurances, I was really seeking some great advice around that, and that’s why I came to Direct Wealth.

My initial meeting with Erin was fantastic. I mean, I came in very blinded. I didn’t know a lot about finances, superannuation, or any of that in general. She made me feel comfortable, understood, and I could ask any questions without feeling silly. I walked out of the meeting feeling like I had a whole heap of new knowledge and that I was being really taken care of.

If you are not working with an advisor, it’s a must. I just think it gives you clarity; it gives you direction. It’s an industry that I don’t specialise in, and that’s why I go to someone else, and it’s a no-brainer. They will help you get from A to B to C, and they’ll help you do that for the rest of your life. It’s not just a quick fix, and there you go.

So if you’re not working with someone, I would highly recommend it. It has changed my life at the moment, and I know it will for years to come. If I could go back before I started working with Direct Wealth, and particularly with Erin, I would say to myself to start sooner. It might sound cliché, but I’ve gotten myself into sticky situations. I didn’t know anything about the finances or the super or the insurance or whatever the topic is—I just didn’t know.

So if I could go back, I would’ve started sooner. I would’ve reached out sooner, started the work sooner, and I know I could have avoided some tricky situations that I found myself in. That would be the only advice: start sooner and start as soon as you think about it.

Hi, I’m Kate. I’ve been retired for about a year. Working with an advisor at Direct Wealth has given us peace of mind and confidence about our investments, and we feel that our future is in good hands.

Our initial meeting was very good. We felt very comfortable with the advisor, and we talked about lots and lots of things—what we wanted to do with our life, their life, and all sorts of things. It was good fun, and then we got down to the nitty-gritty. We found that the information, experience, and backup that they have made us feel very comfortable and confident with the plan that Direct Wealth has put in place for us.

We are able to fulfil our goals of doing lots of travel but also know that our long-term future is secure. It’s great that every six months we have a meeting with our advisor to track how we are going, what things are happening in the market, and if we need to tweak something.

Our financial position has improved since we began working with the advisor because we can, daily if we want, look at the value of our portfolio, and it has certainly increased since we first started. You can track it, which is wonderful for us, so we can see where we are.

We have already recommended Direct Wealth to friends and family. One of the reasons is that it is such a smooth transition. It is very professionally handled, everything is explained and very transparent, and you have a clear path of where you are going.

We’ve just found that working with Direct Wealth has been a really positive and comfortable experience. It’s given us a clear path of where we’re at, what we can do with what we’ve got, and we can ask for more information at any time if we need it. They’re always there if you have to ask a question. If there is an issue that comes up, say with your accountant about a tax issue, you can just call them. They deal with it, and that has been great as well, and it’s dealt with promptly, so you can just move on and plan your next holiday.

Kirsty has recently taken over my superannuation account and I’m very impressed with the service I have received since coming across. I feel very comfortable with Kirsty, I trust her and she has provided open and honest advice. I think Kirsty is a shining star, shows consideration of my needs and is very easy going.

Initial chat with Ben. Found him very patient, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Ben also came across as proactive – when presented non-financial industry information relating to an industry specific risk in a space that was removed from the finance industry, and that he wasn’t previously aware of – Ben indicated that he would go away and investigate that further risk so he could be informed for his other clients. Ben followed through on call times, and emails when he said he would send them. Cannot comment on the service beyond that. Would recommend as someone who was approachable and easy to talk to.

Direct Wealth team were patient, knowledgeable and made financial planning understandable . Excellent customer service .

my wife and myself were introduced to Ben Marlow of Direct Wealth for a discussion on looking after our superannuation & pension requirements. I was a little doubtful at first as the fund i was with was performing ok for me. Ben gave us his background on financial planning and we had a second meeting with Ben. After this meeting my wife and myself decided to let Direct Wealth look after our finances. We could not be more pleased with our switch to Direct Wealth as the team there are so helpful and keeping us informed on our financial matters. I would recommend to anyone Direct Wealth for looking after their financial planning.

I highly recommend Ben Marlow at Direct Wealth. Ben consistently provides outstanding financial advice. His guidance is always timely and informed. He’s been an invaluable partner in navigating our financial journey, offering tailored advice that perfectly suits our current situation. Thanks Ben!

We had a great experience with our last visit, now that hubby is 67yrs of age, they guided us in a few ways to repay our 2 loans.

I recently had a follow up meeting with Luke Youd who has now joined the Direct Wealth team. As usual the meeting with Luke was very informative and he is always generous with his time to explain things to me – regardless of how obscure my questions might be.

I have great confidence in my dealings with Luke going forward and also with the friendly Direct Wealth staff in general, who are helpful and proactive with their communications with their clients.

I had the pleasure of working with Ben for my financial planning needs, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. From the outset, Ben demonstrated a deep understanding of financial strategies and an impressive ability to tailor his advice to my personal situation.

Ben took the time to explain complex concepts in a way that was easy to understand and always made sure I was comfortable with each decision. His attention to detail and proactive communication helped me feel confident about my financial future.

Thanks Luke -We are very happy with the past seven years of financial recommendations.
We have worked together to plan our transition to retirement and now this is coming to fruition. So grateful for your assistance.
Your knowledge regarding Centerlink has also been very helpful.

Ben Marlow was initially thrust upon us after the amalgamation of our accountants with Direct Wealth and this is without doubt one of the best financial outcomes to have happened to my wife and I. Initially I was sceptical of his enthusiasm and apparent desire to nurture and improve our financial stability moving towards retirement. Ben has tailored his communication style to not only be relatable to us but also educational and has further embedded our trust in his advice with proven outcomes. I would absolutely recommend Ben to any prospective client.
google
Our association with Luke Youd began around 5 years ago. His advice, guidance and expertise has steered us safely, successfully and profitably to a great semi retired lifestyle, arguably, 10 years or potentially more, ahead of schedule. We count ourselves very fortunate to have Luke in our corner. He has our sincerest thanks. If there were more stars we’d click everyone of them.

Sam & the Redcliffe team are amazing, they have managed my finances so well I can retire 2yrs earlier than expected.
Cannot recommend them highly enough.

Over the course of about 3 years we have become so comfortable with Luke we feel like we are talking to family when we meet. Luke has been honest and straight forward from when we first met and has certainly led us in the right direction in preparation for retirement. Luke always responds quickly when we have a query and is very patient with our quirky ideas. We are very grateful for our relationship with Luke.

Since changing over from another Financial Advisor to Direct Wealth two years ago I find them to be a very professional and knowledgeable business. I recently had my yearly review with Ben, and I was very impressed with the way my finances are being looked after. I look forward to my next review. I would certainly recommend Direct Wealth to any interested prospective client.

“I was recommended to Direct Wealth in 2022 and began working with Sam Dwight as my financial advisor. 

Over the last 6 months or so, they have helped me begin the process of planning and executing a roadmap to future financial security. 

Throughout this process, the team has been communicative and informative. They understood my current financial and personal circumstances and worked hard to ensure we had a robust plan. 

With their help, I believe my future financial wellbeing is in good hands and I look forward to working together with Sam and Direct Wealth for many years to come.
