highly recommend lorenzo and the team at echidna equity!
Lorenzo has been supporting my property journey since January 2026. Even though I haven't landed a place just yet, he’s been with me every step of the way: handling pre-approvals, proactively keeping them extended, and keeping me completely prepared and ready to act.
He stays right on top of interest rate changes, offering sound advice tailored for owner-occupiers and investors alike. His process is fast and modern, and he is always remarkably quick to respond whether by email, text, phone call, or even on Reddit where I first came across him. Highly recommend Lorenzo and the team at Echidna Equity!
