Marco was recommended to us through a friend and after our experience we would highly recommend him to others. He provided an excellent and professional service. Highlights include prompt communication, reassurance and guidance through what was a new and unfamiliar process. Marco ensured that the whole process went simply and smoothly and the outcome was exactly what we wanted. Thanks Marco!

We run a self managed super fund with property in it and Marco's advice was so valuable. He knows everything you need to know about the best way to structure your loans in a self managed fund and he definitely can save you money. I only wish we had known him when we first set it up. So if you are setting up a SMSF talk to Marco from Stars Broking Services. He is the most reliable, efficient and knowledgeable broker I have ever met.

Honest and reliable advice from an expert is always appreciated. Don’t use the Bank, use someone who you can create a meaningful relationship with! Marco has always been responsive, courteous and a true professional to work with.

David and I can highly recommend Marco and his assistant Jaqui for their excellent work in finding us another provider for our refinancing. Marco knows the banking and mortgage industry well and is highly experienced. He acts quickly and diligently and we got our approval very quickly. I would have no hesitation in contacting Marco again if we had other financial matters such as loans or insurance to discuss.

Marco was so helpful throughout my entire process. Marco kept in touch with me for over a year knowing my purchase was coming up. He was wonderful to deal with and explained everything clearly as I had never purchased a property before. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Star Broking Services, Marco made a daunting process into a delight, nothing was an issue and he worked hard to get the best deal for me.

Buying a house is such a significant life event and one that can be overwhelmingly daunting. I feel so blessed that I have really great people around me that I can trust to help me through the process, including Marco from Stars Broking Services. I literally would not trust another mortgage broker and have worked with Marco a number of times. I honestly feel safe in his hands knowing he is giving me the best advice to ensure I can live the best lifestyle I can. Thank you so much Marco, I have no hesitation at all in recommending your services!

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!

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.

Marco provides exceptional service. He is knowledgeable, approachable, polite and importantly listens.

Marco helped to make buying our first home an absolute breeze.

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.
