Our Manawatu Advisors

A Mortgage Mentor (also known as an advisor) is very similar to a mortgage broker. They act as the intermediary between you and the bank. But a Mortgage Mentor goes one step further to offer ongoing financial advice and mentorship.

To find a normal mortgage broker, you will need to ask for recommendations in your network or search online. To team up with one of our Mortgage Mentors, you can request a free chat here.

If you’re thinking about buying a house in the future, now is a great time to book an initial chat. A Mortgage Mentor can help you get prepared well before you send in the home loan application.

Your Mortgage Mentor is here to help you put your best foot forward when you apply for a mortgage. The lenders consider your financial situation (e.g., income and expenses) and your ability to repay the loan. Your mentor will work with you to get you in a good position to command a better interest rate before you send in the application.

No. The great news is that our mentors are qualified financial advisors that can help you with your insurance too. They get paid a commission by the insurance company they place your insurance with.
