Not good enough
Why are these people still operating? They dont put anything in writing, they don't disclose their $12,000 "Membership" fee up front, and they are certainly not accountable to any industry peak body.
Have a look at this: https://pipa.asn.au/property-advisers-need-regulation/
I've attended their seminars and they are an overhyped sales pitch at best. No Qualified Property Investment Advisor (QPIA) would operate the way these people do.
This needs to change.

Such a great team
I have been fortunate to have worked with Chris and her fabulous team for over 6 years, and can only recommend them, which I have on numerous occasions. All facets of investment and advise is available and so worthwhile. The people at ThinkMoney are friendly, happy and very welcoming. Thank you ThinkMoney

Five years, Four properties & Fine living
Thank you Think Money Team.
Meeting the team 5 years ago after being recommended by a friend was the best meeting I could have had. Since then I have acquired 4 investment properties which are all yielding well.
I am confident my financial future is secure as well as living a nice life now.
Thank you team for supporting me, educating me & showing me how I can be in control.

DO NOT ENGAGE WITH THIS GREEDY COMPANY!!!!
All the 1 star reviews on here are the real reviews.
The 5 star reviews are fake and no doubt set up by Think Money themselves.
It was our misfortune as first time investors to go to Think Money about investment advise and be sucked in by their deceptive ways.
As per everybody else on here that has invested with them, we are left with a house that is not only worth a lot less (roughly $300,000 less although could be more due to the current situation) but also not being built to standard, it is now no longer habitable at this point.
We originally raised our concerns with Think Money about the house at the build stage.

Hah! It's funny to see you offering to help here CC. Now that the "cat's out of the bag", methinks you're simply trying to salvage what you can for your scam company.
What was your offer of help when you sold us that dud piece of Real Estate in Nebo? None, Nada, Zip, Zilch. Paid $450k in 2012 and we had to sell earlier this year for $235k as the repayments on the loan were killing us with the rent dropping to $220pw. It was costing us $19,000 every year just to hold onto it. We have accepted our capital loss now, but at least we're paying a ...Read more
much smaller mortgage. No - after we raised our difficulties with you, your help consisted in showing us the door from your much celebrated "Midas Club" or whatever you call it. After you had collected a $12,000 membership fee, you weren't too interested in helping us then! The $22,000 commission you collected from the sale was also not enough for you to try to help us to recover from the disaster. We became baggage for you. Beware readers.

I wish I found Think Money sooner
If only we found Think Money sooner we wouldn’t have been starting over again because we would have known not to sell our property. However since finding Think Money just over 9 months ago we have paid off over $25,000 of personal debt, brought a property through our SMSF and we now have a didn’t more effective way of budgeting and are saving to buy a home. I can’t recommend Chris, Jack and the rest of the Think Money team enough for what we have achieved over the last nine months, without them we would still have a mountain of debt and struggling to enjoy life because of the stress of our debt.

Learn from my mistake
I was unfortunate to engage these people for financial advise. I signed up and it was the biggest mistake of my life. Very poor advice, broken promises, ridiculous fees and referred me to a property manager who then committed fraud. This experience has cost my family hundreds of thousands of dollars. Please listen to the bad reviews on here. I assume they must be writing the good reviews themselves. Even the accountants and solicitors they partnered up with over the years won't deal with them anymore! BEWARE! I am not sure how they sleep at night and how they are still in business! Don't let what appears to be good customer service and enthusiasm to help fool you!

Do your research it’s basically a scam
If you read the lowest rating reviews you’ll get the insight into think money that reveals it’s ultimately a scam. Everything friendly & family like is in fact fake & evil. I never went but made an appointment. Now I’ve read reviews I think people need to be warned. Looking back on the phone call to suck me in I can hear the con man in the man I was talking to.
Hang up on them, if a client stop immediately, unsubcribe their emails.

THANK YOU THINK MONEY
Our Financial plans have never been better. With the continual advice and support of Chris and her "Think Money Team" we are so much more financially secure then ever. With the help of the Dept Reduction Platform we have paid more off our home loan in the last 4 years than we did in the previous 15. We continually rave about how wonderful our experience at Think Money has been and would recommend it to anyone.

Wish we had of joined 20 years ago!
We joined Think Money in October 2017 and have never looked back.
We have been able to plan realistically for our retirement, and seriously reduce our debt in a matter of months.
We were sceptical at first, but after the first appointment with Melissa and Chris, and not to long after, Claire we have never looked back and our only regret is we didn't start 20 years ago.
Think Money has changed our lives, so, if you are looking to take back control of your life and finances, we can highly recommend Think Money and team.

We have put ourselves into the best financial position we’ve ever been in by following the debt reduction and property investment strategies from Think Money. Chris and Claire have been fantastic, always have time for us and follow our progress, cheering from the sidelines. This is so much appreciated. Make the plan and stick to it is our mantra and it’s paying off for us. We are eternally grateful to Chris and the Think Money team. Thank you All!

Awesome Team, Awesome Support, Awesome Results - Thank You :0)
Think Money came highly recommended to us by friends who had achieved wonderful results. Upon entering the office for the first time we felt comfortable and welcomed by the team of professionals. We didn’t have to wait long before being introduced to Chris who took a genuine interest into our personal wishes and financial outcomes, we felt very at ease with Chris and her easy persona while explaining the intricacies in laymen's terms to what could be achieved if we chose to partner with Think Money.

an seem a little daunting to absorb what is being conveyed, thankfully Claire’s skills guided us on our way to budgeting nirvana! While we are not budgeting experts and do some times 'fall of the pony' Claire is there to nudge us back on track. After our skills had been honed, we enquired when we felt it was the right time as to the possibility of being in a position of making the first step towards our first rental property. Chris formalised an individual strategy for us and the TM team to assist in the execution. Suffice to say the whole team are so friendly, welcoming and supportive, nothing is ever too much trouble and we are now signing property number two. Debt reduction has been a massive part of our journey, we thought chipping away bit by bit at our mortgage was the only way we could get it paid off quicker, the online calculators that we plugged the numbers into told us so, ten to fifteen years and it would be gone, amazing, or so we thought. Now having been shown how to budget properly, manage our spending and be in control of our finances, our personal mortgage will be gone in just a few short years! We are so grateful to Chris, Jack and their amazing teams for their continuous support, guidance and knowledge in helping us achieve a better than brighter outlook for our future and hopefully an early retirement plan :0) Thank you ALL at Think Money - without you, we certainly wouldn't be in the awesome position we are in now xx1 comment

Best thing we ever did!
We were in the biggest financial mess of our lives, stressed and with no relief in sight. When a friend suggested we ring Think Money and give them a try. We had nothing to loose. These wonderful, kind and hardworking team, listened to us for hours, gathered all the pieces of our financial disaster and presented a plan to us. It hasn’t been an easy ride (especially for them) as we presented probably one of the biggest challenges they had ever seen. But their guidance, hard work and support has been outstanding. Two years later and things are ...Read more

We can’t speak highly enough of this incredibly professional team, that has risen to every challenge our difficult situation has thrown at them. They always met us with the most positive attitude and not only guided us through big challenges but empowered us with knowledge, and showed us their kindest side. The financial guidance has been perfect for us, but it has been their human side that has totally amazed us. Making that call to Think money was the best thing we ever did !Similar opinion?

Think Money has taken the stress out of day to day living!
I use to live pay check to pay check and stress about how much money was still in my account and if I could pay my bills before the next pay day. I went to Think Money and with their guidance and support I have set up an easy to use budget and no longer stress about when the next payday will come. I now know that I will not only have the money I need to pay my bills but that at the end of the month their will be money left over. Their budget software is easy to use and lays out your expenditures and income in an easy to understand format. The staff are incredibly friendly and offer great advice as well as sharing their personal experience with debt reduction.
Thanks so much Think Money Team.

If you are looking to buy property. Do your research. Read lots of books, listen to podcasts and make sure to listen to more than one person so that you can decide what works for you.

provide very little detail about their property choices and instead tell you that they have been doing this for so long, and just know it works. They are spruikers. You pay 12K and they sell property to you that they get commissions on. I am happy to pay someone for providing me a service but the commissions that I pay need to be clearly stated and upfront. I remember being in CC office and asking lots of questions about the type of properties they buy, why they choose those properties etc. All fairly normal questions, given I was considering paying 12K and then perhaps buying property from them. The answers were very evasive and when I asked, how the real estate arm of Think Money gets reimbursed if I buy a property from them, CC did not want to answer that question at all and became very defensive. It became very clear that they could happily treat "you like family"provided you did not ask the tough questions. I have since learned that many spruikers make huge commissions on selling overpriced properties to uneducated property investors. Many of the property buying sessions are in groups and they try to keep everyone excited (and buying). I guess, it would not help to have someone in the room asking too many questions. Thankfully, we walked away (2 years ago). We got educated from a company that does not sell property but instead teaches investors how to choose property to buy that is right for their goals etc., where to find it, what to look for etc. There is much less conflict of interest. We have since bought 4 investment properties. Look around, there are much better companies out there. We are so glad that we did not proceed with Think Money. Makes me worried every time I pick up a Profile magazine that others might be getting "sucked in."Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

MODERN DAY CON MEN!!!
DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE - they may as well work out the back of a shed. They make their money by letting you invest in sub-standard areas that no one else can sell and make huge fees on unsuspecting buyers and sell you over-priced properties that will take you a life time to ever reach the price you paid for it.
There property management department Pro Edge Property Management are just as bad and actually work from home and have absolutely no idea. This has destroyed our future.

Hi Re Gretful,
I am so sorry you have had a bad property experience. I am not sure who you are so I can't reach out personally, however I would certainly be happy to discuss and help if you would like to contact us.... Read more
As you would be aware, Think Money is not a real estate or property investment company, and we don't sell or build property - as your membership receipt states, we supply software, support and education about debt reduction and property strategies. Think Money refers our clients to other specialists, including Mortgage Brokers, Accountants, Financial planners, Solicitors and Property Specialists. Using any of these referred companies is our clients choice and is not a requirement of a Think Money membership. If you are unhappy with the results of the property, it would be important to go to the Real Estate Company and ask for help, again, I would be more than happy to assist you if you need help with this. I know the property team put a lot of effort and care into the research and the selection process so they can offer their clients a large selection of great properties, builders and developers to choose from in many different locations. Their clients can then select the property and the location they want to invest in. The property team assists their clients by monitoring the build process and help manage any issues or problems that may arise - so if you are having any problems, I am sure they would be happy to assist. Please contact them, or again, contact me and I will try to assist with this communication. Regarding your 2014 membership - Think Money has never had a 'lifetime' membership. Our agreements have always been annual, and renewable yearly. I would be happy to discuss this and/ or give you a copy of your agreement if that helps. We have always worked on an open door policy with past clients, they are always welcome to come back and get help whenever needed without cost. Please don't hesitate to call me and I will do whatever I can to assist.
