Buying your first home will change your life, and as an adviser I believe that I can help you with arranging the best finance and setting your loans up to make sure that you can stay focused on enjoying your new home.
I have a lot of experience with helping first home buyers.
You will also see me on the Kiwi First Home Buyers Group where I am an admin and also an adviser that is always answering questions and providing assistance where I can.
If you are on the search for your first home then I’d love to help arrange the finance to help you.
