The Team at ADA Financial Services made the whole process when we bought our house so much easier. The team looked after us and made sure we knew what was going on. The best part was communication and how easy they were to contact and talk to. Would recommend the ADA Team if you are purchasing a house or need financial advice.
Response from the owner:Hi Stephen, thank you for your review. We're glad the process of buying your house felt easier and that you always knew where things stood. Clear communication is something we put a lot of focus on, so it's good to hear it made a difference for you. All the best in your new home.

Deb came highly recommended from a colleague and I am so happy that I chose to contact her. Deb and Bek have been absolutely fantastic in ensuring that my partner and I could secure finance to purchase our first home using the RFHBG. Being first home buyers and prior to contacting ADA Lending, we initially felt quite overwhelmed, however, since the first the phone call, Deb and Bek quickly ensured to answer any questions we had and were very honest and clear in exactly what was needed from us which helped the process be as seamless and as stress free as possible. I highly recommend ADA Lending for other first home buyers (and everyone else)! We are so appreciative of the experience and expertise of Deb and Bek at ADA Lending. Thank you for getting us into our first home! - Kathleen and Daniel
Response from the owner:Hi Kathleen and Daniel, thank you for your thoughtful review, and please pass our thanks on to your colleague for the recommendation. Buying a first home can feel overwhelming, especially when navigating a scheme like the RFHBG, so we're glad our guidance helped make the process clearer and less stressful. Congratulations on your first home.

Absolutely amazing!!! Being a single mum with a mortgage I had been trying to gain finance for quite some time with no luck. I was recommended to speak to Deb and Bek as they had worked a worked a miracle for them and they weren’t wrong. Not only did Bek help me get the finance I needed she communicated with me every single step of the way, something I have found in the past to be frustrating with other Brokers. Bek didn’t give up on me and worked through any speed bumps along the way. Super knowledgeable, caring, easy to talk to and understanding. I cannot speak highly enough of the ADA team, I’m eternally grateful ☺️
Response from the owner:Hi Rebekah, thank you for sharing your experience. We understand how discouraging it can be when finance doesn't come together, so we're glad we were able to help you find a solution and keep you informed throughout. We appreciate your trust, and thank you to whoever referred you.

Response from the owner:Hi Tiahna, thank you for your review and for choosing ADA again for your home loan. We know deadlines can add pressure, so we're glad we could help you meet yours. We appreciate your continued support.

How We Help

Specialist lending advice across every stage of life.

From first-home buyers taking their first step into the market through to experienced investors and business owners, we provide lending solutions designed around both immediate needs and long-term objectives.

First Home Loans

Buying your first home on the Sunshine Coast involves more moving parts than most people expect. We help you understand your borrowing capacity, check grant eligibility, and get the right loan structure in place before you make an offer.

Whether you have a deposit saved, are still building one, or are not sure where to start, we give you a clear picture of your position and work through every step from initial assessment to settlement day.

Refinancing is not just about getting a lower rate. It is about making sure your current loan still fits your situation, your equity position, and your plans going forward.

We review your existing loan, compare options across our lender panel, and give you a clear picture of whether switching makes financial sense before any application goes in.

Investment lending works differently to owner-occupied lending. The loan structure underneath your property affects your tax position, your cash flow, and how far your portfolio can actually grow.

We assess structure first, then find the lender that fits it, comparing options across banks and non-bank lenders on rate, policy, and how each treats rental income and existing debt.

A personal loan is one of the more flexible credit products available, covering vehicle purchases, debt consolidation, home improvements, and unexpected expenses.

The challenge is finding the right lender for your credit profile and purpose without applying to multiple places and damaging your credit file. We assess your position and match you with the right product before anything is formally submitted.

Whether you need working capital, equipment finance, or funding to grow, the right business loan depends on your cash flow, your assets, and what you are trying to achieve.

We work across commercial lending and asset finance, comparing options across our lender panel to find a structure that fits your business without overcomplicating the application.

Apartment buildings with balconies under a bright blue sky

Building a home works differently to buying one. Funds are released in stages as your build progresses, and the approval process involves more documentation than a standard purchase loan.

ADA Financial Services works with first home buyers, owner-occupiers, and investors across the Sunshine Coast who are planning a new build. We get the right loan in place and manage the drawdown process with you through to handover.

Most Australians walk into a dealership without knowing their finance options, which means they accept whatever the dealer offers. Getting pre-approved before you shop changes the dynamic entirely.

We compare car loans across banks and non-bank lenders, identify the right product for your situation, and get you pre-approved before you step onto a forecourt.

A reverse mortgage lets older homeowners access the equity in their home without selling it or making regular repayments. It carries real long-term costs that deserve a clear explanation before any commitment.

ADA Financial Services helps Sunshine Coast homeowners and their families understand how reverse mortgages work, what the long-term costs actually look like, and whether the product suits their situation or whether an alternative makes more sense.
