Two stars purely for their costs to refinance. Their rates are still good but please be aware of the costs if you want to leave them and go elsewhere. As this is some sort of middle-man model you literally pay two banks! Adelaide bank : $200 ( Reasonable) AMO: $450 (High for sure!!!) Solicitor (Est): $450 ( Very high) Most refinance total… Read more
costs should range between $400 - $800. Here we have $1100.. That's $500 more than a bank that charges on the high end.
My broker no longer works here..So I had to deal with AMO directly. When you call they don't put you immediately to someone. They called back a week later.

AMO are great in general especially Rick – The team from AMO were excellent in every way in getting the loan for my house especially Rick with being always there for us he went above and beyond to help us get the loan approved I strongly recommend him if you want a loan. We were really satisfied with the loan rate we locked in for the next 3 years and the customer service side of things were great. Show details

Negative reviews
Warning! Stay away from AMO – Have to be the worst brokers I have ever dealt with!!!!!! Unprofessional, unethical and are liars!!!!! Go elsewhere unless you want to be ripped off and spoken to rudely!!!!! Would not even give them one star!!!! Terrible company!!!!! Show details
Go directly to the bank - don't recommend AMO – My experience, they have great communication till they sign you up. Then the broker doesn't want to know about you. I found the experience of paying out our loan when we wanted to refinance very slow and expensive. My suggestion would be go directly to the bank or lender if you can. We will never use AMO or recommend them to anyone.
Failed to deliver – After 2 weeks of waiting for approval and being promised everyday, I had to exit my purchase before the cooling off expired at the last minute and this was even after 2 extensions from the vendor. Worst service and experience ever. Everything always seems to change and/or its someone else's fault. I have no lost my 0.025% deposit, not a big deal… Read more
but also solicitor cost, building and pest inspection cost, plus not to mention the countless hours and stress in trying to get this over the line.
My advise, see a bank, as these guys have no bloody idea

Excellent service - with special thanks to Rick – AMO have been excellent to deal with in securing our first home loan. A special mention must be made of Rick who was patient and clear walking us through the whole process - he truly went above and beyond, and we could not have asked for a better person to guide us through this experience. Thank you! Show details
An efficient and caring business - A special thank you to Rick! – The AMO team, with immense gratitude for Rick have made purchasing our first home a wonderful experience. We were grateful for every phone call and email that was answered both during and after business hours. I strongly recommend AMO if you are requesting a loan - especially your first! We could not have done it without them. Show details
Great service!! – With the increase of interest rate, Winston from AMO was able to re-finance my home loan and consolidate my loan at the same time. We are saving hundreds monthly because of this. What a legend!! Thanks Winston and AMO. Show details
Fantastic service, repeat customer – My husband and I have worked with Frank Collum from AMO on multiple occasions over the last 5 or 6 years, buying our own home, refinancing and buying an investment property. We would highly recommend Frank and his team to anyone looking to take out a loan or refinance an existing loan. He is very helpful, responsive and wonderful to work with. We'll certainly be reaching out to him again next time! Show details
Rick was AMAZING! – The broker we dealt with Rick was nothing sort of amazing! He found us a great rate that we were very happy with, he is an absolute wealth of knowledge and will highly recommend him to anyone who needs any sort of home loan or refinance. His assistance during the whole process made it so much smoother with absolutely no stress at all! Show details
Rick Gerial - Go to guy – This is the second time I have dealt with Rick. I reached out to him again because my first experience was fabulous. He was even better the second time around. Show details

Just amazing service! – They could not have been more helpful. The best service I have ever received from a financial institution. I would recommend them in a heartbeat. They even got me a rate a full 1/2 a percent lower than I was paying at Commonwealth Bank. Show details
Great customer service – We were recommended Rick G by a family member and he was amazing throughout the whole process. He went above an beyond throughout the whole process, was thorough and communicative. Show details
Great Experience with AMO – I sold my property and needed to sort out my finances. I'm self-employed and thought it would be tough. Went to AMO, these guys got my new loan approved for my new purchase and got me a fixed rate loan, where i could make extra repayments and have an offset account for redraw, even on a fixed rate loan. Well done guys! Great Job! My Bank couldn't do that, but the team at AMO did.
Can talk the Talk but not Walk the walk – Phone call ok First visit ,great ideas ,all good Then failed on every promise absolute waste of time ,I explained I was in a hurry and my needs Answer was we are the right people we can help this is what we do well sadly failed on all of above Mortgage House is now fixing things up I lost 2 weeks and several hrs of my time in phone calls /meetings very tiring and frustrating
Highly recommended for debt consolidation – AMO helped us to consolidate debts and credit card into one easy to manage loan. They also have the best home loan rates I've seen! We will definitely be using them again.
Lowest Rate Home Loan and Great Debt Reduction Service – I was very happy to have had help to refinance my home loan and personal debt by Robert from AMO. All of our kids had moved out, and we wanted to down size to a smaller home, but coming up with the 20% deposit to buy into the area we wanted was our biggest hurdle. I made an appointment with Robert and he showed us how to use the equity in our… Read more
home, and their finance consultant helped to reconcile our debts and saved us over $3,000 in monthly repayments! Highly recommended service!!!
Great customer experience and helpful staff – I have found the staff at AMO to be extremely helpful in giving us clear expectations, what to do and why when we applied for our home loan. I recommend highly recommend speaking to them.
Quick, friendly and easy to deal with – Very happy with the customer service, friendly and professional brokers. We went to see staff at their Campbelltown office and Tim went out of his way to help explain things and get our loans through. I'll be telling my friends, family and work mates.
Reliable provider with great rates – AMO have great rates, and brokers that can get you loans 1-2% below the banks. They're mortgage managers - something we didn't know anything about. They're now helping to manage our loan, pretty good service as there's always someone on the phone when you've got questions. Thanks

Great team and one of the lowest home loan rates in the industry – I highly recommend seeing Robert and the team at AMO. They have the lowest rates in the industry, and the team is friendly and professional.
Great Service and Full Support – AMO really tries to understand your situation and offer you help on how to go about securing a home loan. They even gave me pointers such as FHOG and what to expect from real estate agents. An eye opener and very helpful.
Help with Getting our First Home – We saw a couple of the big banks until I heard about Australian Mortgage Options, so I thought I would give them a go. We made an appointment with a broker and they showed us that our repayments wouldn't be that much different from renting, that we could get a first home owners grant and that we could pay off our home sooner. All this advice for free! I would highly recommend them if you're shopping around and need to get educated.
Knowledge and Experienced Provider – We've been using AMO to refinance our loans, and the knowledge and experience of the staff is priceless. I'm truly grateful for their assistance and can highly recommend their services.
Fast And Effective Help – AMO was great at helping us with our loans and rolling all our debts into one simple payment. I would highly recommend making an appointment with them - it's free and it'll give you more options with your finances.
Great Company and Great Service – I have used the services of AMO brokers twice now to find the right homeloan, and I have had such a great experience both times I refer my family and friends. They have a great team and customer support, it's a very friendly service.
Helped us to simpify our repayments – I just want to say a big thanks to AMO for helping us with our debt consolidation. We're able to save tons of money because they helped us to secure good rates and simplify our repayments. Nothing was too difficult for them, and we could not forget the calls that we made with their friendly staff to sort out our finances. Great service and highly recommended!
Helped me to Get my Finance Approval – I was looking to purchase a home in Liverpool and I had no idea what the process was, or how to get finance approval. I knew I needed a mortgage so I called and spoke to AMO customer service. They were great at explaining the costs involved, such as stamp duty and interest repayments and some of traps to avoid in buying our first home.
Very Good – I went to AMO to see if they can do better than the banks in product and service - refreshing to get someone who came out to see me and listened to my situation BEFORE they suggested a product. We actually worked out a plan for me to get into an investment property in 2 years. Very good!
All too accommodating – Michael looked after me for the purchase of my first home refinance. I was attracted to AMO by the advertising on radio. My first phone call to Ashley, I think her name was, was warm, effortless and easy. She put me through to Michael who was extremely friendly knowledgable and nothing was too much to ask. Michael gave me a combination product… Read more
that had 50% fixed 50% variable @ 3.99% How can you beat that!!! Top work AMO. Awesome to be away from those banks who treat you as a number. . . .
Very Bad Service – These people are very bad, they do not return calls and provide horrible service. Do not bother - you are much better off dealing with a trusted bank instead of these amateurs.
Poor Service – Don’t go through AMO to set up your SMSF. I have been trying for months for AMO to return my calls and emails. Once you pay AMO your money and want information afterwards they don’t return your calls. I have been requesting information via email and phone calls to access my documentation that AMO created under their name. I paid for these… Read more
documents via Clear Docs but will not allow me to access unless AMO release documents under my name. All I can say buyer beware. My advice find an account with the experience rather than going through a middle man that only cares about there retirement not yours.
Bad customer service/waste of time – Firstly they called me after 2 weeks, even after that, they wasted so much time with documentation. They say they have so many products but they only have one product and its an average product at best. i was asked about 4 times to send different documents and when i sent them, they asked for originals and so much time wasting its not funny. Bad customer service, wasting time
