Meet your local team of lending experts

If you’ve been searching for a mortgage broker to help with your next move, you’re in the right place. While "broker" is the term most people know, here in New Zealand, we’re officially known as mortgage advisers.

The real difference lies in the depth of service we provide. While a broker is often seen as a transactional middleman, a Loan Market adviser is your partner for the long term.

Under current New Zealand regulations, our focus is squarely on your total financial well-being. This means we don’t just "find a deal"; we ensure every recommendation is tailored to your unique life stage and designed to put your best interests first.

I have been working at Loan Market since 2019 and previously worked for Ray White Real Estate for 6 years, which gives me a unique overview of both industries. I am an accredited Mortgage Adviser with a Level 5 Certificate in Residential Property Lending. I also have Bachelor's degree from the University of Auckland majoring in Accounting and Economics. I have a passion for helping people, crunching numbers and I love the challenge of finding solutions to give people the outcome they dream of: whether that be buying their first home, an investment property or restructuring their lending to suit their needs.

I've been in the finance industry since 2014 and work across both home loans & business lending. I've worked with Bruce & Michelle for the last 4 years I have a Bachelor's degree in Commerce (Economics & Marketing). I enjoy digging down into the numbers to find the best options for our clients and I love being able to help a client when they have previously been told "no". That has to be one of the best parts of the job!

I have been in the finance industry since 1993 this time around, but my first job out of school was office junior in a bank. I have been working with Loan Market since December 2005. I love it when we've got a client's finance pre-approved and then we get that excited call saying they've bought. That's when the fun begins and we get to work getting the best possible deal to suit them.
