More than a rate.
A real strategy.

Most advisers hand you a table of rates. I look at the full picture: your situation, the lender landscape, and where the market is heading, and give you a recommendation that holds up over time.

After 12 years inside the Reserve Bank and the Central Bank of Ireland, I understand how these systems work at a level most advisers simply don't have access to.

What I do
01
First Home
Purchase

Pre-approval strategy and lender selection, so your first mortgage is set up right from the start.

02
Refinancing &
Restructuring

A full audit of your current structure against the market. You might be surprised what's possible.

03
Property
Investment

Portfolio structuring and lender selection for investors navigating a more complex credit environment.

04
Construction
Finance

Progressive draw structures and lender selection for new builds. One of the most complex transactions in residential lending.

05
Complex Income
Situations

Self-employed, commission-based, or recently arrived in NZ. I know which lenders will work with your situation.

06
Rate Strategy

Fix, float, or split? I apply genuine market analysis to your rate decisions, not guesswork.

What clients say

Inside the system
for 12 years.
Now on your side.

I spent 12 years in central banking, nine at the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and time at the Central Bank of Ireland. I worked in specialist data roles, managing and analysing the financial data reported by banks and non-bank lenders that feeds into monetary policy and financial stability decisions.

That included front-line monitoring of LVR and DTI policy. I understand these frameworks from the inside.

I'm a registered Financial Adviser under the Financial Markets Conduct Act, working under the Guardian Smith and NZ Financial Services Group licence.
