How Our Partnership Works

Partnering with Dan means accessing expert mortgage advice on a schedule that works for you. The focus goes far beyond standard paperwork to build a long-term strategy tailored to your financial goals, combining nationally recognised advice with deep local market knowledge.

Refinancing

Refinancing helps you evaluate whether your current bank is truly giving you the best deal or if staying put is costing you money. By dispelling common refinancing myths, you gain a clear, step-by-step understanding of the switching process and the hidden costs of auto-renewing your fixed rate.

For First-Home Buyers

First-home buyers get full transparency on the critical details rarely shared upfront, from securing pre-approval to managing finance timelines and contract conditions. You will learn how to compete confidently at auctions or multi-offer situations, while making KiwiSaver withdrawals and initial loan structures simple to understand.

Pricing, Banks and Strategy

Choosing the right lender means evaluating fixed, floating, or split rate options to match your cash flow and risk tolerance. Strategic loan structures can shave years off your mortgage and save thousands in interest, providing clear answers to the most common mortgage questions along the way.

The Four Things I Get Asked Most

First Home Buyers

A clear picture of what you can actually borrow, how your KiwiSaver fits in, and what the banks will want to see. Pre-approval sorted before you start looking, so you are not guessing at open homes.

Refinancing

Checking whether your current bank is still the right one for you. Most people roll onto whatever rate they are offered at the end of a fixed term without ever testing it against the rest of the market.

Auctions and Negotiation

I go to auctions with my clients, put together informal valuation reports, and help you understand the contract conditions a real estate agent might not spell out.

The Extras

Referrals to solicitors, KiwiSaver advisers and insurance people I trust. Not technically part of the job, but it saves you having to find them yourself.

Why Choose Me?

I'm accredited with every major bank in New Zealand, plus most of the second and third tier lenders. That means I get to know you and your situation first, then work out which bank actually suits you, instead of only being able to offer one option. My service comes at no cost to you, as I am paid by whichever lender you choose. As a mortgage adviser, I am required to put your interests first, so my focus is purely on finding the right loan for your goals. Before this I spent close to 20 years in corporate finance, and that background shapes how I structure a loan. But most nights you'll still find me on the phone until 9pm, because that's when people actually sit down and start asking the questions that keep them up at night. I'd rather you went to bed knowing where you stand. I go to auctions with my clients, put together informal valuation reports, and help people understand contract conditions their real estate agent might not spell out. It's not technically my job. I just think it should be.
