Get a Better Rate is a Sydney CBD brokerage at the Capita Centre on Castlereagh Street, run by Peter as the sole broker. 57 Google reviews at a perfect 5.0 — smaller in volume than the Sydney heavyweights, but every review names Peter directly, which gives an unusually clear picture of what the service actually looks like.
Service costs nothing directly. The pitch is in the name — getting clients onto a competitive rate, often refinancing relationships their existing bank wouldn't repair. Reviews describe Peter taking on smaller loan sizes that other brokers might walk away from ("it's not the size of the loan that matters it's the quality of service") and getting borrowers approved for amounts well above what their existing private-banking relationships had offered.
Peter is the brokerage. Every review across multiple years names him personally, every owner-response is signed by him, and there's no second broker mentioned in any client file. That's a deliberately solo-principal model — clients work with Peter from initial enquiry through to settlement and into refinances years later.
What clients say: responsive, methodical, and persistent on harder files. Multiple reviews describe Peter rescuing applications that the client's own bank had declined or under-offered on, and a meaningful share of reviewers are explicitly on their second, third, or "several" mortgage with him. First-home buyers consistently single out the patient, plain-language explanation of an unfamiliar process. Strong fit for borrowers wanting a single point of contact across multiple transactions over years. Less of a fit for those wanting a large team or weekend office hours.

Peter, was helpful and hard working as well as approachable and open minded ect step of the way. He made sure we got the best results and didn't give up where many other brokers may have done so. We weren't lending a massive amount but, as he said it's not the size of the loan that matters it's the quality of service that does.
I tried to refinance with my existing private banking relationship and was turned down. Got introduced to Peter, I sent him some docs and he helped me complete paperwork and I got close to twice the amount I was looking for.
As a first-home buyer, I had a million questions throughout the process and Peter answered every one and made the purchase as effortless and understandable as possible. From pre-approval to settlement, he was proactive, clear, and secured a competitive rate.
