A mortgage brokerage on John Street in Upper Hutt, run by lead advisers Aaron and Jean. Their office helps people buy a first home, a new build or a next property, and they say the team can take a client to all the banks and many non-bank lenders, so the loan is shopped around rather than tied to one lender.
The service starts with a free consultation to make a plan for the home you want. The website says there is no charge in most cases, because the bank pays the adviser when the loan settles. The team has more than 20 years of experience across banking, insurance and financial planning.
Clients who have written about the brokerage describe clear communication, regular phone calls, texts and emails, and help at each step of the process. Several first home buyers say it felt overwhelming at first and became manageable with the advisers guiding them. One client says they prefer meeting face to face, and the website says Aaron does much of his work that way.
Our pick in Upper Hutt for a first home buyer who wants a mortgage adviser to take them through each step.
