“Reuben was not only a teammate when we played professionally, we’ve maintained a strong personal relationship, and I trust him with my loans and finance needs. Flint have a specialist sportsperson division so it’s good to be understood, and to take advantage of the athlete policies available when I was playing. I’ve bought property in the past direct through banks and you had to do everything yourself. But his team was very helpful guiding me through the process of submitting the application, getting approved, signing loan docs and being ready to settle. They have the process down pat they know what they’re doing, it feels like a concierge.”

“Whats impressed us the most about Flint is their ability to understand us as player agents, and tailor a financial services offering around our needs and objectives. We’re often involved in a players personal affairs which is time consuming, so when it comes to loans and property Flint takes that time burden away from us. Their service is a bolt on to the Crown Sports toolkit and enables us to focus on our core objectives.

 

It’s more just the traditional mortgage broking, it’s a culture fit. The dedicated sports division is a direct fit for our client base. Having played professional sports Reuben and the team understands the player mindset and values player wellbeing, which is exactly what we are all about at Crown Sports. Knowing that he can get along and build rapport with players is a peace of mind for us.”

“What I’ve appreciated about working with Flint is their ability to adapt my lending solutions as I’ve evolved. After I transitioned out of the game and into business ownership, Reuben and the Flint team have continuously provided products tailored to my changing needs. They offer a range of options, from residential to commercial, business, and asset equipment, giving me a clear view of how to align financing with my business goals.

Flint also makes things straightforward. Their solutions are communicated in an accessible way, avoiding overly technical jargon, and there’s a noticeable sense of high performance in their approach. It’s reassuring to have a team like this supporting me.”

“My name is Steven Cummins and I’m a professional rugby player based in the United Kingdom. In early/mid 2022, I purchased a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house in Kelvin Grove, Brisbane as an investment. As an Australian Based overseas for work, I had several roadblocks throughout the buying and settlement process. At the time of purchase, I was living in the South West of France and suffered an injury at work, further complicating matters. The French system works slightly differently to Australia and as a result, I was met with some resistance from Australian lenders to finance my loan in time for settlement. Thankfully, with the calm and expert guidance of Reuben & Ben Sum, I was able to arrange all of the required documents to clear up the situation and find a suitable solution in time to go ahead with my property purchase. I really appreciate the ongoing assistance from Ben and would recommend Flint to anyone looking to purchase from Australia or overseas.
