We have worked with Faye several times in the last year - bridging finance, moving banks, new mortgage lending and now lending for a rental property - she is amazing to deal with, always very thorough, does a lot of work so we don't have to. Will happily work with her again!

I recommend Angela Wanoa all the time, as i sell homes, so she is the one I put clients in touch with if they are looking for financial advise etc.

Thanks Mark

Very responsive and quick to act. Great advice and made it easy even with some tricky property issues that made lending much more challenging to obtain. I was only able to buy this property because we were the only ones (out of many serious purchasers) that overcame the issues and obtained suitable lending and insurance. Other deals had fallen through because the banks would not lend more than 50% of the property value (ignoring the dwellings).
