Cheers to everyone – highly recommended.”

“Hi Scott, I was just reading this now [Successful Ways Newsletter] and wanted to say congratulations to you and your team for the successful 20 years!!! Loved reading this and I have really appreciated the services you and your team has provided, through buying my first home in Peakhurst in 2013, then doing your investment property courses, through to divorce and family legal stuff in 2018 and then onto buying my second home in 2019 (on my own) and supporting me through financial hardship post covid while growing my family. You guys have made all of those big steps in life so easy for me!
So from me and my family, THANKYOU to you and your team!”
Michelle (October 2024)
“Hi Scott, Thank you for all your work, once again your team has made it easy going for us! We particularly appreciated the stress-free extension of the formal approval period when the process started to get a bit more long drawn out than we had anticipated. We are very happy and hope it will be a great little investment property.”
Megan (September 2024)
“I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for your comprehensive, reliable and friendly service. I really appreciated how you guided me through the steps of buying my first property. The team at Successful Ways made the process of buying a property a smooth, straightforward and stress-free experience. I have just moved into my apartment, and it is exactly what I was looking for!”
Anne (October 2023)
“We would like to thank Gordon and Jane for helping us to purchase our beautiful new home.
We initially did all the work ourselves and spent many weekends looking at houses and building relationships with agents. At the time we were ready to buy, there were not many houses being sold in the area we wanted to live in and few in the budget we were able to afford. The constant emails, phone calls, and texts from agents, often left us in a place of disappointment and confusion and unable to know what to trust. We needed a different way.
Gordon stayed with us throughout the uncertain experience. Gordon’s advice helped us to understand the process and the market so that we did not pay over the market or get caught with a lemon. Gordon’s in-depth knowledge and interesting stories during the many telephone conversations helped us to manage our anxiety.
We were thankful that Jane was also available at the last minute to complete contract negotiations that ensured we got the right outcome and reasonable protections in the purchase. Jane’s knowledge and attention to detail about the contract and insights into the building and pest process gave us confidence we made the right choice.
Without the help of Gordon and Jane I am sure we would not have succeeded in purchasing the home.
We have since used the other services of Scott and Victor to find the best mortgage and Stewart has given us financial advice to ensure a sound financial plan. Having this wrap around service made the experience bearable if not slightly enjoyable and we can now be more confident when we next need to invest in a new home.
Thank you, Successful Ways.”
Elizabeth and Andrew (August 2023)
“We always refer anyone who asks us about property ownership to you. Your company has always had our best interest at heart. Please thank Jane Park also, she is quite extraordinary and such an incredible human resource. Tracy and Scott thank you for helping us year after year.”
Michelle (July 2023)
“I just wanted to email and say thank you to you and the staff at Successful Ways for all your help since I first came to one of your talks. I just found one of the original emails and whilst it’s taken me a long time I have achieved my goal of purchasing in the eastern suburbs. Along the way you have helped me really get my financial situation under control refinancing, property management, sorting insurances including claims, improving my superannuation and most recently and importantly purchasing a property in the eastern suburbs. Staff have been efficient and helpful and I appreciate all your patience as I navigated the unfamiliar tasks in the world of finance and property. So thank you very much.”
Cath (September 2021)
“I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all very much for the help, guidance and professionalism from you all in securing my new property. From having had no clue where to start and assuming I was way out of reach for the Sydney market you have helped me secure an affordable home that has nailed my brief in a location I thought was never possible. Thank you also for your patience from the flood of questions through what has been a pretty intense roller coaster, I have learned so much from you all. You have provided a foundation giving me much confidence moving forward with this investment. Thank you!”
Bernard (March 2021)
“As a first-home buyer, Successful Ways took a lot of the guess work out of the process. I highly recommend the first home buyers course – I learnt lots of tips on what to look for in a property and what questions to ask through the process. There’s lots of information out there about purchasing a property, but Scott and his team impart crucial knowledge and experience that has proven invaluable. I had tears of joy when settling on my first property thanks to Scott, Jane, Mark and Jason! I didn’t think I could achieve my goal of property ownership as quickly as I did. Thanks for all your time, patience and advice.”

“We’ve been clients of Successful Ways since about 2010, when we attended one of Scott’s seminars on property investment. Since then the team at Successful Ways has helped us with everything from restructuring our finances to buying and selling properties. Thanks to them, buying our first home was a stress-free event, and in fact they’ve removed worry and hassle from every major financial decision we’ve made since by making the whole process smooth and painless. The advice we get from them is pure gold. We cannot recommend them highly enough- though we often try- and look forward to continuing to work with them for years to come.”
