What is the best part of being a Mortgage Broker?

Opportunities to meet a lot of people and help them with their home buying journey and achieve other financial goals.

What have you found to be the most challenging aspect?

The mortgage industry has undergone a lot of changes in recent years. With lending policies changing quite often, one has to be on top of their game to be able to stay compliant with the regulations and this is definitely challenging.

Juanita Ah Leong

Somesh has been helping us for many months now, we cannot recommend anyone better. He is quick to email, call and txt, communication is key and he is AMAZING at it. Somesh explains everything in detail and offers the best advice. He is very on board and has great knowledge. we started of him as a broker but he is our lifetime friend now.

Amrit

From the moment I posted in the Facebook group - First Home Buyers page, Somesh instantly replied to my post with in half an hour I was already on the phone talking about my current situation. 8 days later I was pre approved which was insane to me given I barely did anything just provided what Somesh needed and he ran with it. Somesh truely looked out for my best interest and kept me updated every step of the way, Somesh will work his butt off trying to get you into your dream home, whether you are a first home buyer or looking for your next investment Somesh is who you can count on and will always be in your corner even when you feel like no else is. Will forever be grateful, Somesh thank you for everything, absolute LEGEND!!

Whiti Beazley

Well, Somesh was the very first mortgage broker I spoke to, and I truly think I was lucky to meet him. From the start, I told him I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time and that I had a really good feeling about him. I wanted him to handle my mortgage. I believed in him, and he absolutely went above and beyond! He genuinely deserves the best. What a guy! His level of service, dedication, and consistency are truly next level. He’s now become a dear friend, and I’d love to meet this amazing gentleman in person one day!

Buying my first home felt like a huge step, but thanks to Somesh Awasthi. The whole process went smoother than I ever imagined. He was super patient and answered every single question of mine - even the silly ones I asked at odd hours. I’m someone who loves to plan things perfectly, and he matched that energy so well, keeping everything organised and on time. His calm, friendly approach made the whole process feel stress-free. If you’re looking for someone professional, approachable, and genuinely helpful - Somesh Awasthi is the one. Highly recommend him without a doubt!

Harman. S

Somesh was great through out the whole process, I was completely new to the world of property and he helped clear up all the grey areas and made the process quick and simple managing everything with the bank so we didn’t have to! As well as looking at potential properties and pointing out things the we hadn’t noticed that could have made the process tricky. Would definitely recommend to others and already have!

Sidney Cooper

I had a fantastic experience working with Somesh! As a first home buyer and purchasing on my own, I was pretty nervous about the whole process — but Somesh made it so smooth and stress-free. He was incredibly responsive to all my questions (no matter how small) and even offered to meet in person when needed. I started off quite clueless about buying a home, but he explained everything clearly and always made sure I felt comfortable with the decisions, especially around budgeting and repayments. I never felt pressured at any point — just supported by someone who genuinely wanted to help. I’m now happily settled in my new home and couldn’t recommend Somesh more highly!

K Anderson

I have bought my second home today with the help of Somesh. Never once did it feel like he was far away from me. I still remember our late-night conversations where you patiently cleared every single doubt I had. Highly recommend him – a truly trustworthy and genuine person you can always ask for help and share everything with. Thank you, Somesh, for helping me build my property portfolio!

Utkarsh Sharma

I recently worked with Somesh Awasthi to purchase my very first investment property, and I honestly can’t thank him enough for how helpful and patient he was throughout the entire process. From our very first conversation right through to settlement day, he was always available to answer my questions and guide me every step of the way. Thank you so much, Somesh, for being a part of this journey with us. - Olivia Claridge - Christchurch

Utkarsh Sharma

First home buyer is a very scary topic. We doubted ourselves after meeting many mortgage brokers whether we can afford to buy at house, mortgage payments, etc. However, meeting Somesh has made it all possible. Somesh gave us hope, the will to dream once more, and has never broken a promise. We felt heard; we felt cared for and developed a growing connection with Somesh every step of the way. Our journey went efficiently, everything was dealt with, and it was always pleasant news during every interaction. As a newly experienced home buyer, I highly recommend Somesh as you Mortgage broker/advisor. Five plus stars for this salient mortgage broker.

Syndey T

Purchasing our first home in Auckland was a dream my husband and I held close to our hearts—one we thought might take many more years of saving and sacrifice to achieve. But with Somesh’s incredible support and guidance, that dream became a reality far sooner than we ever imagined. From the very beginning, Somesh helped us see that home ownership wasn’t just a distant goal—it was within our reach. His deep knowledge of mortgages, the home-buying process, and the Auckland property market gave us the clarity and confidence we needed to take that leap. Thanks to Somesh, what once felt impossible became one of the most empowering milestones of our lives.

Somesh is very knowledgeable and experienced advisor we worked with. Always answered our questions very professionally and the advice given was very helpful

Manpreet

It was a great pleasure to work with Somesh. We were buying our first home and we didn’t know anything about how to go about doing things. Somesh helped and guided us at every step. One of the many good things about Somesh is that he is available anytime of the day, which really helped us. His overall help and guidance made our first home buying mission really easy for us. I would really recommend Somesh. All the best mate👍🙏😊

Vikrant Thapa

Somesh was the best mortgage broker we could asked for! Day or night he was always happy to answer any questions or concerns we had (which were quite a few!!) I would highly recommend him for anyone buying their first home, such a genuine and nice guy. I would rate higher if I could! :)

The three most important characteristics that describe our engagement with Somesh's advisory process are his empathy, personable nature, and high professionalism. From our very first conversation, he understood and connected with our needs, keeping us hopeful throughout the entire financial approval process. His ability to balance attentiveness to our unique financial situation with a positive and approachable attitude made the experience both engaging and stress-free. He demonstrated both competence and warmth, consistently working to understand and prioritise our goals, while his sense of humour helped keep the process light and motivating. Somesh’s approach fostered trust and made the financial journey not only productive but truly enjoyable.

Piumi Abeysekera

Somesh was truly amazing — one of the most helpful professionals I've ever dealt with. He went way above and beyond my expectations and made the whole process a lot smoother. You can trust Somesh!

Andrew Fermor

We had dealt with many other advisers in the past who we felt just wasn't a fit for us, or either ghosted us 😔 as we were in the too hard bucket. Grateful I pondered over Somesh in the Kiwi FHB comments section he was just what we needed. Easy to work with, able to explain everything for us, and available 24/7 as you really do need advisers/a team who are available even in the weekends! Stress levels high, and he and the team went over and beyond to get us over the line. Thank you Somesh, looking forward to continue working with you 🙂
