TJ – Taman Paulik is a Mortgage Adviser with The Mortgage Advice Company, working from the firm's office at 9-11 Kings Crescent in Petone, Lower Hutt. She is one of the expert advisers behind a company whose team motto spells out its values: Passionate, Responsible, Agile, Transparent and Experienced — all in service of giving great advice and getting clients the best results.
TJ's career spans more than 30 years across the real estate and finance industries — experience that shows in the way she handles everything from a first-home purchase to a complex commercial deal. She joined The Mortgage Advice Company in February 2023 with a clear mission: to guide clients with expertise, understanding and care, so that every step of the mortgage journey feels manageable and clear.
Although based in Auckland, TJ regularly spends time at the company's Wellington head office in Petone, and her clients stretch right across the country. That national reach is a real advantage: wherever in New Zealand you happen to be, you can work with TJ by phone and online, backed by what the company describes as national coverage with local support.
TJ's advice covers the full spread of home and property lending. First-home buyers can get support understanding their options and securing finance for that first purchase. Property investors and developers have a knowledgeable sounding board for investment and development lending. Existing homeowners can explore refinancing and restructuring — reworking an existing loan to better fit changed circumstances — and business owners can draw on advice around commercial and business loans.
Insurance sits alongside the lending side of the business. The Mortgage Advice Company has partnered with The Insurance Advice Company to offer expert cover, spanning life insurance, trauma and critical illness cover, permanent disability insurance, mortgage protection, income protection and medical insurance. For anyone arranging a mortgage, it makes lining up the protection around that borrowing far simpler.
One of the first questions people ask about advisers is what it all costs. The Mortgage Advice Company publishes a page answering exactly that — what its fees are and how it is paid — and every adviser, TJ included, has a publicly available disclosure statement on the website, alongside a documented complaints process. The company is a licensed financial advice provider.
The firm's standing has also been recognised from the outside: it has been named among New Zealand's top mortgage brokerage firms in the Best in Mortgage listings in 2023, 2024 and 2026. For those who like to do some homework before a first conversation, the website carries a loan calculator, current home loan rates and a plain-English explainer on what a mortgage adviser is and why you might use one.
Away from work, TJ is a proud parent of three grown children, and her love of property clearly does not switch off at the end of the day. She is often found working on home renovation projects or spending time in the garden, and she keeps an eye on house magazines and design ideas for the next project — the kind of genuine enthusiasm for property that clients tend to find reassuring in an adviser.
TJ can be reached directly on 027 498 2626, or through the company freephone on 0800 MAC IAC (0800 622 422). The office is at 9-11 Kings Crescent, Lower Hutt 5010, in Petone. Whether you are buying your first home, growing a portfolio, restructuring an existing loan or arranging business finance, TJ's blend of deep industry experience and personal care is there to make the process smooth, stress-free and tailored to you. There is also a reviews page where you can read what past clients say, and a refer-a-friend option if you already know someone who could use the help.
