| “Canberra Insurance Brokers Canberra Insurance Brokers have been looking after all our insurances, both Life and General, for the past 5 years. During this time they have not only obtained the most appropriate and cost effective insurance for us but in 2006 also negotiated a most favorable claim outcome for us which was quite unexpected. In addition the staff at Canberra Insurance Brokers are always willing to help with any queries we might have. ” |

| “Canberra Life & Superannuation I have been extremely impressed with the quality and personal services provided by Hugh Canberra Life & Superannuation. The ease of process including home-based consultations and medicals was a tremendous help to my wife and I with busy works and children schedules. We were given a good understanding of the products so were able to make up our minds and not pushed into any decisions. Canberra Life Superannuation were recommended to us by Jane Hadrill Accounting, and I have no hesitation in recommending both services to my friends and work colleagues. ” |

| “ In October 2006 a complete review of my personal insurance was conducted by Gray Saunders of Canberra Financial Services. I was very impressed with their thorough comprehensive approach to the review and their subsequent recommendations.
Most people think they will never claim on their insurance policy, however two years after implementing the recommendations I suffered a serious illness that prevented me from working fulltime for seven months. Gradually I returned to work for two hours each day for some months until finally returning full time ten months after the initial onset of the illness.
During this time I claimed on the Income Protection policy, both Canberra Financial Services and the insurance company involved dealt with my claim in a most timely and compassionate manner. I received my full benefit whilst totally disabled and received a partial benefit as I gradually returned to fulltime work.
The insurance cover made an already stressful situation much easier to manage and I have no doubt without this cover my illness would have impacted ver seriously on both my business and personal life.

| “Canberra Life & Superannuation Hugh Crawford has taken care of our insurance needs for the past 20 years or so. My late husband and I have always relied on Hugh’s advice and suggestions for our insurance needs. Hugh does not fit the mould of the typical insurance adviser, in fact, he is the complete opposite. We have always found Hugh to be very sincere, honest and trustworthy. When my husband was diagnosed with cancer, Hugh was truly sympathetic and particularly supportive to my husband. At that time, he handled our insurance issues which made a difficult time a little easier for us to cope with. In 2007 Hugh ensured that an insurance claim I had made was assessed in a fair and favorable manner. He did this expediently and without prompting. I have no hesitation in recommending Canberra Life & Suprannuation to anyone who requires insurance and superannuation advice. ” |

| “Park Heath My introduction to Park Heath was by way of promotional advertisement within a local magazine. Upon contact with Jeff Proud soon thereafter I quickly realised the benefit of developing a close relationship between myself and Park Heath. Jeff Proud is an absolute pleasure to deal with and is incredibly knowledgeable within the property investment market. He provided me with the information and the tools to progress forward in a positive direction that quickly and effortlessly secured myself with an investment portfolio. Jeff's service is professional and very responsive and I would have no hesitation in recommending him and his company to others in the future. I look forward to a healthy and lengthy partnership with Park Heath. Kind regards ” |

| “Park Heath Like many people we understood the need to provide for our future. We even understood the principles behind investing in property. However, we didn't have the knowledge of what were good investments and we didn't really have the time to do the homework for ourselves. Fortunately, a friend told us about Park Heath's Jeff Proud. Jeff provides a full turnkey solution in property investment. First of all he helped us determine if we were actually in a postion to invest in property. Then based on our questionaire responses he researched and short listed several properties for us to choose from. Once we made a choice, Jeff guided us through the whole process. From his many professional contacts he introduced us to all the service providers that we would need, from mortgage brokers, conveyancing companies right through to a property manager and all at very competitive rates. Without Jeff we would probably still be dithering about and falling further behind in our plans for the future. Now we are looking forward to purchasing our next property and will definitely be choosing Jeff as our advisor. We would have no hesitation in recommending Jeff and Park Heath to anyone who wants to start down the path of property investment. ” |

| “Park Heath At the time of buying my first investment property I was a single parent working two jobs to pay school fees for my children. Even though I didn't feel confident about my ability to financially support the very large step of buying an investment property ~ I'm very glad that I did! As the mortgage broker said to me " I think the purchase of this property is going to be one of those defining moments for you". The purchase of an investment property was certainly a defining moment and a step that I'm glad that I took. Having said that, the project wasn't without it's 'moments' ! To add to my stress I decided to have a new house built (in Queensland) because of the added tax advantages in terms of depreciation on a new property. Thankfully Jeff was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. He provided all the information that I needed to be able to make an educated decision about a property that would suit my situation and one that would gain in capital value over time. I needed detailed information about what was involved so that I knew what I was signing up to and also so that I could sleep at nights. The house is fantastic and has four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double garage and an outdoor living area. It cost me $316,000 to build in 2007 and currently rents at $360 per week. There was anxious time when I needed to find a new real-estate agent to manage the property. Once again Jeff was able to assist with some good contacts in the area and reassurance that it would all work out. It has worked out very well with a similar house selling recently in the same street for $380,000. I would like to thank Jeff for his professionalism and support in helping me realise this significant achievement. ” |

| “Park Heath Six years ago we were novices in the property investment area, and trusted Jeff Proud of Park Heath to guide us through sourcing the right properties in the right areas for us. We have found Jeff to be professional, hard-working and with our best interests at heart. He has been incredibly generous of his time and knowledge and has helped us learn more about property investing with each of the five properties that we have purchased with his assistance, all of which have experienced strong growth in a relatively short period of time. We have happily recommended Park Heath to our friends as a sign of our faith in and gratitude for Jeff's services. ” |

| “Park Heath Hello Jeff It has been a little while, but all is well with us and the property at Victoria Point. We found our first experience of investing in property to go surprisingly smoothly. Jeff Proud provided clear and helpful advice at every stage and we are very pleased that we choose to go with Park Heath for, what was for us, a huge investment in our financial future. While everyone can know a little bit about property investment, Jeff's knowledge, experience, integrity and expertise is invaluable. We found him to be a good person to have on your side. Kind regards ” |

| “Park Heath At the age of 30 I found myself with around $35k in savings and wanted to purchase an investment property. As a single female at that time I didn’t want to buy a house to live in because I was happy with my living arrangements and didn’t want the responsibility of maintaining a house and property on my own. I was keen to invest my money in property but really had no idea where to start in terms of finding the right type of property, in the right location, for the right price. Around that time I heard about Park Heath, a company that provided independent property investment advice, led by Jeff Proud. Jeff made the whole process easy for me. He packaged together a range of property investment options suited to my needs and budget and proceeded to hold my hand through the purchase process and beyond. I am still able to go to Jeff with questions I have about the investment property or anything related to it. A couple of years later I returned to Jeff with my partner as he also wanted to find a worthy investment property to purchase. Several years on, now with one child and another on the way, we are both happy with the returns that the two investment properties have yielded for us. We have even leveraged capital gain on the first investment property to assist us to buy ourselves a larger house to live in. Thank you Jeff, once these kids are a little older we hope to come back to you to extend our property portfolio further. We couldn’t, and wouldn’t, have done it without you. ” |
