Ying Wu

Finance Partner

The son of a farmer who traded the fresh air of the country for the big city.

Ying is the founder of Bright Financial Services, and he is not the average Mortgage Broker.

Ying believes that there is no special formula, but instead a range of options to suit everyone. 

He does not sell a product, but rather tries to understand the situation, then provides information and advice to help make the right decision.

“You want to be in a situation where you have choices, not in a situation where your choices are limited by the situation.” 

Katherine Lefvere

Buyers Agent

 With over 22 years of Real Estate experience, Katherine has personally and professionally negotiated 100+ property transactions totalling over $200 million in Real Estate deals.

The “Great Australian Dream” is, in its narrowest sense, a belief that in Australia, home ownership can lead to a better life and is an expression of success and security.  Finding an “okay” property is deceptively simple, but buying “great” is anything but.

The devil is in the detail and most people miss it.

Katherine takes a different approach, one that considers your bigger picture.

Ray is our secret recipe to everything you see, from our logo, brochures, animations and

Testimonials

Dr. Anderson

Efficient and helpful service

S.S

Arkadiusz has been amazing in helping me with financial advice from consolidating my supers into one and keeping me on track with my savings. His level of care far exceeded my expectations and I would recommend him to anybody in need of financial advice regardless of your status.

Alex

Arkadiusz was extremely helpful in setting up my insurances. I was a tough client to look after due to some pre-existing medical issues however Arkadiusz spent the time and made the effort to get me fully covered. Forever grateful.

Laurence

The team reviewed my financial situation in full and directed me with a solid strategy to significantly reduce my debt and also create a savings hub and continues to support me and hold my hand through this process. I feel really supported and glad to have financial security if something bad were to happen. 
I couldn’t recommend RKDS more! 

Victoria

Arkadiusz’ has a passionate and unrivaled knowledge of the insurance industry intricacies. His invaluable help allowed me to receive a policy with better definitions / more comprehensive cover, cheaper premium cost, no loadings or terms, removal of a previous health exclusion which should not have been there in the first place.

Arkadiusz confidently guided me through the different options leading to an outcome I would not have achieved on my own.
