What Our Clients Say

– C.Boyle,

Freedom Property Group

Good and reliable. Great communication, customer service and solution focused. Matt and Kate were readily available to speak, which was essential with tight time constraints. Responsive and effective financial services can be the difference to securing a deal or missing out. DFP services were value for money.

– Rick Impala,

Real Estate Finance Group

We needed a facility urgently and DFP were able to help us within a two-week turnaround. When they say they will do something, they do it. There’s no ambiguity. When you work with them there’s certainty and they are really responsive with offers, outcomes and getting the deal closed. They get things done quickly. Certainty for developers is really key at the moment with what’s happening in the funding market.

We would recommend them to other developers. They are the pre-eminent private funding partner for developers in Melbourne.

– A. McCullagh,

Red Panda Group

I have dealt with Bronko Kozel, Baxter Gamble and the DFP team for over ten years, and cannot recommend them strongly enough.
The world of commercial construction finance can be a torrid territory and to say it is always smooth sailing would be an untruth. But as for outstanding results, genuine integrity, and doing business with some really good people, DFP is my 'default space' each and every time, and equally nail it, each and every time.
Their follow-up service is above and beyond. You are not a client for one deal, but a client for life. Outstanding performance.
