Thank you 'again' Robert and team, by far the best broker experience to date for the 2nd time. Professional, friendly and fast. Highly recommend, 6 stars.
Rob is the best broker you could find He understands your needs and always has your best interests at heart when making decisions. I couldnt recommend him enough, I wouldnt go to anyone else.
I have known and worked with Rob for over a decade
Rob is an outstanding Broker - a thorough professional in his field His focus, attention to detail, and genuine care and empathy for his customers is incredible. A mortgage is one of the biggest and increasingly complex decisions people have to make. It is also deeply personal and delves into your personal finances Rob understands this, manages this and guides you through the process in an efficient and yet candid way.
He is a first rate professional, a trustworthy person and someone you can absolutely trust to be in your corner and deliver the best result for you He comes with my highest personal recommendation
Robert went above and beyond in helping us secure our new mortgage, nothing was too much trouble or a problem. Provided lots of communication along the way to keep us informed of what was happening and answered all questions we asked. Would highly recommend Robert to anyone who is looking to refinance or looking to get a loan.
Robert was very personable and efficient. He managed to secure funds for us in a very short timeframe and helped us with many other aspects of our property purchase.
I will definitely use his services again if I have need of a Mortgage Broker in the future.
Many thanks

Can’t speak highly enough of the service provided by Robert Costabile. Game changer.
Our Smartline adviser, Lou helped us achieve the best loans and offsets for our situation. He went above and beyond in every aspect. All the worry was taken out of our hands and he dealt directly with the banks, ensuring our refinance went without a hitch.
Robert Costabile provided a great customer service. He was very helpful and understanding of our questions and need.

Rob made everything easy for us and explained everything perfectly clear thank you very much
As always Robert exceeds my expectations when it comes to advice, guidance and delivering an optimal mortgage solution for myself and Paula. His communication is exemplary, an ability to get things done and the confidence he provides us make this a seamless and painless process. We couldn’t be happier having Robert and Lou in our corner.
Lou, Robert and Diane were fantastic to deal with. They took the time to understand our needs and recommend viable solutions. Lou, in particular, went out of his way to work through things with us and provided exceptional service. The Smartline team has been a dream to deal with. Thank you.
Robert was very efficient and passionate about facilitating the most favourable option for my home loan. Very happy.
couldn't have asked for anything more
Fantastic service would be happy to recommend the services.
Second time dealing with Robert and Lou, and once again were fantastic to deal with. Both Rob and Lou went above and beyond to make sure we knew what was happening with switching our loans and made things incredibly simple. Thanks Gents!
Lou was an absolute gentleman and what he promised he delivered
Robert was extremely helpful and made the entire process a lot easier for us.
He also found exactly what we were looking for with our home loan.
Definitely exceeded all expectations.
Lou was great to work with. He took the time to explain everything even when I thought I was asking lots of silly questions. His experience and guidance was well appreciated. I have no hesitation in recommending Lou to my friends and family.
Rob went above and beyond to help provide us with the information and confidence we needed to purchase an investment property. We had a bad experience early on with another broker and were very pleasantly surprised when we came across Rob through other recommendations and found out what an incredible broker can really offer! Rob helped explain everything in understandable terms, was always available and helped make a possibly stressful situation of buying an interstate investment both seamless and enjoyable! Thanks so much to Rob and the Smartline team for all their help! Would (and have) recommended to all of our family and friends and anyone looking for a great broker who will go above and beyond to get the best outcome for you!
Really easy and smooth process.
My children and their friends had all worked with Rob for their first and sometimes second home loans and had all raved about the exceptional service they received. When I decided to refinance it was great to work with someone who came highly recommended. Rob is very prompt in his responses, he is thorough and communicates and helps you through every step. I would highly recommend Rob.
Hey,
I don't normal spend valuable time filling in surveys, however we were recommended by a close friend to give Robert Costabile a call...and I do so just to 'tick it off'... however Rob was amazing.
The way he was so responsive to emails/text/phone calls was incredible. It was some of the best customer service going around.
The product he recommended was perfect for our particular needs. I will be recommending Rob to my friends and colleagues.
Great stuff Robert.
What an amazing service, like wow! Robert and team went above and beyond as our mortgage broker for our recent investment property, so much so that I can’t wait to re-engage him to look for loan onions for our next property purchase. He was always very fast to respond to questions, sometimes even when those questions were fired away at all hours of the evening and weekends. Our extended search for the right property resulted in us requesting many property reports, to which Robert was only too happy to assist each time. He would highlight the pros and cons for each property in question and give clear guidance on our loan options we had for each. Looking forward to working together with Robert and the team long-term so that we can build our wealth through our property portfolio.
Always great working with Lou and Robert - they know their stuff and are extremely supportive and helpful in getting the loan finalized. A pleasure to have these guys in your corner

We honestly felt like we hit the jackpot with Robert. We are beyond grateful for his support throughout our entire home loan journey. Robert was always responsive, honest, thorough and supportive.

We highly recommend Robert, and have already done so to fellow first home buyers, friends and family. Thank you Robert!

Robert was absolutely fantastic in keeping us informed with what information we needed to provide, how to interpret the sometimes confusing process of home loans. Even during Covid times, he was available with video calls and always just a phone call away. The documents they made up for us to break down how much we could borrow and what repayments would look like was very accurate and easy to understand.

We are so grateful to our Accountant for referring us to Lou Costabile of Smartline. From our first meeting a few years ago, Lou has been our 'go to' when it comes to any financial decisions we make. Every phone call, email or text we send him, is immediately returned or followed-up. He ensured we were well-informed and felt comfortable throughout the whole process. The day of settlement on our new house, an issue arose which threatened settlement from going through. As our conveyancer and bank squabbled over whose responsibility it was to fix the problem, Lou took it upon himself to sort out the issue even though it had nothing to do with him. His sole concern was for us, his clients and it's thanks to him that settlement went through that day. We will definitely deal with Lou again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for an adviser who is professional, trustworthy and has your best interests at heart.
Nice and easy.. Very knowledgable and walked up through every step
Lou was a fabulous broker who went above and beyond what we would have expected of him in recommending a lender and getting our loan set up. We were very impressed with the service we received and have already recommended Lou to friends, one of whom has used Lou as their broker and was similarly impressed.
Lou provides exceptional service; he explains everything very clearly and we would not hesitate to recommend him to our family and friends.
Very appreciate of the service and profiessionalism recevied from Lou. Received a call from homeside representative post settlement as to the accounts that were set up; was advised that the call takes 6-7 minutes; was not in a postion to speak at that moment, was diarised for a call back, however to date have not received this call back. If you could kindly follow up.
Lou is one of the most knowledgable, proffessional and approachable financial representatives that I have ever encountered. I beleive he is a huge asset to Smartline and have enjoyed dealing with him every step of the way. Don't ever let him go!!!
Lou was MORE than helpful and informative - he went well above and beyond for us particularly at settlement when there were issues with conveyancers and banks. He was always contactable, kept us informed at all times and was an absolute pleasure to deal with!! We will be recommending Lou to our family and friends without hesitation!
Lou was a great help as we refinanced our home loan, made a number of good suggestions and we are very happy with the outcome. Only suggestion would be that Lou acknowledge that both my wife and I work in the financial services industry and therefore do not require the basic explanations that some other customers may require.
Fantastic Service. We will be referring Lou to our and friends and colleagues looking for Mortgage Broker services. Thanks again Lou.
Lou was extremely helpful and at all times was available to answer all our questions (questions that were probably minor)He made the process of getting our first homeloan extremely smooth and stress free. Highly recommend him to any of my friends.
Third time we have delt with Lou, who never disapoints.
Friendly and engaging
Lou was absolutely fantastic - we couldn't have bought our first home without his care, attention and hard work.
Willingness to explain details and provide advice was amazing. Willingness to go above and beyond to meet at suitable times was fantastic.
We have used Lou for a number of our loans and could not fault him on his service and dedication to our needs. We have and will continue to utilize his services and recommend him to friends.

Lou, provided a very high level of professional service. His friendly and personable nature made the process of buying our first home very pleasant.
I was very impressed with the level of service offered by my advisor. He even provided us with market evaluations of numerous properties we were looking at. I was pleased with his committment, availability, and knowledge.
I found Lou to be one of the easiest people to deal with during the whole purchase process. He provided sound advice, and was always available to chat with. His "old school" customer service was outstanding and its something thats rare in todays business
Lou kept us in the loop at all times communicating via email as we are located overseas. He was quite happy to phone us when it came time to complete the paperwork for settlement and talk us through our concerns. Communication top notch!
Being presented with a range of options from different providers without having to do hours of research myself. Lou was very knowledgable and I think found the most suitable product for me.

The point I apreciated most about the service was the full management of the application process. We didn't have to do much at all.
I thought Lou was very well informed and provided great guidance throughout the stressful process. I would have also appreciated some assistance just before and after settlement to help sort out various accounts and arrangements (including the offset acco

Lou Costabile was always available to us and very knowledgable. The process was easy and gave us access to hundreds of different loan products. Lous was professional, friendly and we felt like we were his only customers.
The fact that the consultant Lou, was always available to help in anything that was needed to finalise the loan.
Lou was very personable, helpful and attentive
He listened to our needs and then acted really well on the information we gave him
Lou was and is always very comprehensive with all aspects of lending. We are very happy with the service.
There seemed to be a discrepency between my mortagage repayments dates told to me by my consultant and the actual date it was drawn on. This caused on going problems which took a few weeks to rectify.
Smoother experience as they have all your information.
Better understanding of your financials to provide tailored advice. 
Faster response compared to being matched with a new broker.
