Marco helped us re-negotiate the rate on our current mortgage in Cherrybrook. He was able to reduce our mortgage rate by a few basis points BUT which worked out about $2500 per year in savings. Marco was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and very professional throughout the whole process. He kept us informed, got the best conditions for us and saved us a chuck of money from our bank! We would highly recommend Marco for any type of mortgage enquiries!

Whether you are buying your first home or third investment property, the finance piece can be daunting, so many documents, so many forms and at the end a great big mortgage. We use and refer Marco Scannone of Stars Broking to our clients, family and friends. Not only is he knowledgeable, able to make recommendations and suggestions on how to maximise borrowing capacity and provides product comparison but he also takes the time to keep all parties informed of the process all the while with a friendly and respectful approach. Thank you Marco, we have no reservation working with you.

Would absolutely recommend Marco and his broking services to anyone interested in buying property. As a first home buyer, even after extensive research, I found the process to be entirely overwhelming. Marco was thorough, extremely helpful and made the bank's (inordinate number of) hoops much, much easier to jump through!

Marco is fantastic at what he does! He made the purchase of our first home painless, taking us through the process step by step, making sure we understood everything and eventually getting us a brilliant rate. He really knows what he's doing and is 100% honest and upright. I wouldn't recommend anyone else.

It has been a real pleasure being assisted by Marco for our first home purchase. He has answered, with a lot of patience and competence, to all our questions (and they were many and very broad). Marco made feel us very comfortable since the very first chat and he has followed the entire process giving us always the right suggestion and explaining us the diffferent options, risks and opportunities, to put us in the position to make the right choices.Absolutely recommended

A massive thank you to Marco Scannone of Stars Broking. Being newly self employed most banks declined my applications and then came along Marco. Marco thought outside the box and presented a competitive rate from an alternative lender and had the loan formally approved within 6 hours. Marco Scannone is now my Mortgage Broker for life and he should be yours too.

My partner and I recently purchased our first house with Marco’s help and services. From the first day we felt so accommodated, supported and guided through the entire process. It literally felt like a walk in the park. Marco’s professionalism and determination has been outstanding and we will definitely utilise his services in the future again. Once again, thank you Marco!!!

I have extremely high standards and have used mortgage brokers previously. But I have never experienced a more positive, punctual, thorough and professional experience from a mortgage broker like the service received from Marco and the team at Stars Broking. There is no wonder why Marco and the team are so successful and in demand.

We couldn't be happier with the service provided by Marco and his team. We engaged him based on positive online reviews and he has more than lived up to expectations in every regard. Early registration of our land had us scrambling to secure finance within a very tight time frame and Marco not only got us across the line but also managed to lock in an excellent rate for us. He and Jacqui worked tirelessly to ensure every detail was taken care of and made a very complex situation smooth and hassle free from our perspective. Marco was professional, knowledgeable and attentive at all times and we will not hesitate in recommending him to anyone in need of a quality mortgage broker.

Marco and everyone at Stars Broking are amazing! They kept in constant contact and made sure we were comfortable with everything from start to finish. There were a few issues from our old bank and without Marco I don't think we would have achieved what we wanted.I could go on and on about how great our dealings were with Stars Broking. If you are after a great deal with a company you can trust, give Marco a call. You won't regret it.

Thank you Marco!

Marco helped to make buying our first home an absolute breeze. My partner and I were nervous and unsure of how the whole process works but Marco walked us through and communicated every step of the way. He made us feel at ease and answered every question we had. Marco’s assistant Jacqui was also a pleasure to engage with.I cannot recommend Stars Broking enough and will absolutely deal with them again!

It has been an absolute pleasure to deal with Marco in arranging our home loan re-finance. No matter how many questions were raised, Marco's knowledge & experience was plain to see. Marco is not only a complete professional, but more so, he is a genuine & decent man that truly has the best interests of his clients at heart. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Marco & Stars Broking Services.

I run a successful software development company and have experienced all types in my 20 years of business. With out a doubt, Marco is one of the most professional and knowledgeable business operators I have ever met. I have worked with several good brokers in the last year, however Marco is in a league of his own. His extensive experience dealing with company and business structure provided added value, exceeding my expectations in many ways. Marco is honest, personable, polite, hard working, relentless and professional. I only wish Googles rating offered a 6th star to correctly distinguish him above his competitors. Thanks Marco! - Todd Frankland

From the moment we walked into Marco's office we felt welcome and comfortable, a stark contrast to our experience with the banks! His warm personality and hospitality meant our experience was instantly positive. As first home buyers, we had a lot of questions and concerns and we did not feel silly expressing these to Marco. He explained everything in an easy to understand manner and took the time to check that we were on the right track every step of the way. We thought the process would be a slow one, but only a few weeks after we first met with Marco we found our dream property. Marco instantly picked up the pace of the process so we were immediately ready to make an offer. He then guided us through every step of the purchase process. Mere months ago this achievement seemed completey unattainable, yet here we are owning our first home, all thanks to Marco! We can not thank him enough and recommend any home buyer seek his services for a worry free and positive experience!

We were referred to Marco by our solicitor and upon meeting him we were very impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. Due to a late change in brokers to Marco, we had to restart the financial process, however it was the best decision we made as we were over the moon with the final result. This was all due to Marco's diligence and hard work to ensure we got the best offer for our mortgage. Being first home buyers we had many questions which were all answered without delay or judgement. Marco is very approachable and has a friendly and easy going personality. He discussed every document in detail with us and insured we understood every step of the process. All emails and phone calls were answered promptly and arranging meeting times were always beneficial to both parties. We would like the thank Marco for all his hard work and commitment to us. We would highly recommend Marco to all.

I could not be happier with Marco's services! As a first home buyer I was pretty nervous and unaware entering this realm and Marco made sure that I was comfortable and talked me through the whole process. He went out of his way to organise the process and thanks to him I was able to purchase my first home with relative ease. I have recommended him to many of my friends as I believe he went above and beyond in his services.

Marco was extremely friendly and efficient in organising my first home loan. He was easy to contact even though i was dealing with him from overseas. Juggling with the time difference and the waiting time to send/receive documents, was not a problem as Marco organised everything superbly. I highly recommend Stars Broking Services.

I approached Marco with absolutely zero knowledge on "how to buy an investment property".From the first engagement Marco has been very professional, he clearly explained all the steps and carefully he took me and my wife through the the first property purchase.Marco is passionate about his work and cares about the "after contract" service. I'd recommend him to anyone wishes to purchase, invest or just gain clarity in the property market.
