Mortgage Link Manawatu
I joined Mortgage Link Manawatu in 1996 after working in the banking sector for 10 years. In 2000 I became a co-owner and Director of Mortgage Link Manawatu.
The reason I moved into Mortgage Broking was to have the ability to offer clients a far greater range of mortgage lenders and products. It’s very satisfying being able to correctly match the loan type and lender to the clients circumstance and requirements.
In 2010 the Mortgage Link group awarded me the ‘Individual of the Year’ and ‘Highest Individual Producer’ awards.
I was a member of New Zealand Mortgage Brokers Association (NZMBA) from 1999-2011. At the NZMBA’s annual Broker of the Year awards I was awarded the Regional (Central North Island) Mortgage Broker of the Year award 8 of the last 9 years. The year I didn’t win I was judged the runner-up. In these years I was also a finalist in the overall NZ Mortgage Broker of the Year and in 2008 I was the First Runner-up in this category.
While I provide clients advice on all types of mortgage finance it’s always satisfying to help first home buyers. A recent client I helped was finding it difficult to finance their first home due to a large car hire purchase. Fortunately I was able to restructure the hire purchase into a much more manageable loan (and at a better interest rate). This allowed the clients to afford and qualify for a home loan.
Another area I am experienced in and have a personal interest in is residential rental investment. I have built up an excellent level of knowledge in this field and am able to advise clients on complicated issues regarding loan structuring and ownership entities.
I thoroughly enjoy helping clients and seeing their financial situation grow over time. It’s a real thrill to see a client achieve their goals.
In my spare time I enjoy playing Golf, Squash and developing my lifestyle property. I also am an avid sports follower and love listening to music and attending as many concerts as possible.
