About Karen
Q. What inspired you to become a Mortgage Broker?
A. I had been working in banking for 20 years and wanted to be able to work more closely with clients to guide them through the entire process of obtaining finance.
Q. What is the best part of being a Mortgage Broker?
A. Dealing with a variety of people from all walks of life. Being able to help them achieve their property ownership goals.
Q. What is your most memorable client experience?
A. After 20 years in the finance industry it’s hard to pick one! But, the biggest buzz always comes from being able to assist people with an “outside the square” application that has required a lot of work and they may not otherwise have been able to get approved.
Q. If you were Prime Minister for one day, what would you do?
A. Allow quarantine free travel between NZ, Rarotonga and Niue.
Q. If you could have dinner with any three people (alive or dead), who would it be?
A. Freddie Mercury, George R.R. Martin, Amelia Earhart
Q. Complete this sentence: If I Wasn’t in Mortgage Broking, I would be…
A. A complete hippy living off the land, spending quality time with my dogs with some horse riding and cycling thrown in.

Who can Karen help?
First Home Buyers
We help first home buyers achieve their dream of home ownership by reviewing their finances and helping them find the right loan. It’s never too early to start this process, and making plans early on can set you up for success.
Home Owners
Even if you already own a property, it’s a good idea to check that your mortgage is setup correctly. We often find our clients can save thousands of dollars by simply re-arranging their mortgage and negotiating their interest rate. We do this on our clients behalf at no cost.
Investment Properties
It doesn’t matter if you’re planning to build or simply buy an existing property. If you are looking to build your property portfolio, we are here to help and make sure you get it correct the first time.
