  • “Awesome experience with our broker Jo Taylor. She managed to get us a fantastic rate, far lower than the public one! She always answered our emails and phone calls during the day. Jo took time to explain to us the bank system in New Zealand which is different from our country of origin. She was always incredibly kind and supportive during stressful moments and especially when some surprises arise from LIM and Building reports. I have been impressed by her involvement with our lawyer during the six months we needed to find and secure our dream house.”

    — Johann Cornet

  • “After struggling to navigate the first home financing process ourselves, Jo was an encouraging breath of fresh air. From our very first meeting, she put us at ease with her confidence and professionalism. She took the time to get an accurate picture of our situation, and was our number one 'go-to' person with any question along the way. She was genuinely invested in our success; it was fantastic to have her consistently working hard on our behalf to secure us the best deal. We would recommend her to anyone looking for supportive, personable and efficient services.”

    — William Isbister

  • “Natasha was great to deal with. Even though I never met her in person she was a great communicator on the phone and via email. I was turned down initially by a major bank when I was battling away by myself and Natasha managed to get me a Welcome Home Loan with Co-Operative Bank. Even with only a 10 percent deposit as well. I simply would not be a home owner without Natasha! Thanks very much.”
