I am a regulated Financial Adviser and I can give advice about Financial Advice Products such as consumer credit contracts, home loans, and mortgages. I can provide you with advice as well as transactional services relating to mortgages and home loans, and may facilitate the approval of finance provided by a range of organisations.

I am supervised and regulated by the Financial Markets Authority (FMA) www.fma.govt.nz. You can contact the Financial Markets Authority for more information, including financial tips and warnings. You can also check that I am a registered Financial Adviser at www.fspr.govt.nz.

I am paid by the Lenders when I arrange a mortgage on your behalf.

These are received as a percentage of the loan amount as a lump sum and with ongoing trail payments over the lifetime of the loan. The list below outlines these percentages by Lender:

ANZ 0.85% Upfront

BNZ 0.55% Upfront 0.15% Trail

Resimac 0.6% Upfront 0.15% Trail

I may receive commissions at settlement from the relevant lender if you choose to take out a mortgage following my advice. The commissions are between 0.55% and 0.85% of the initial mortgage balance or amount funded. I may also receive 0.15% to 0.20% trail commission and a $150 for any refixes I assist you with in future.

The commission I receive is shared with James Dean Mortgage Solutions for providing me with compliance support, training, and back-office support.

I am paid commissions by lenders when a mortgage settles and in some cases at the mortgage anniversary each year.

I ensure that I prioritise your interests by following an advice process that considers your circumstances and goals. I research suitable products and providers to ensure the advice meets your needs.

I also undergo annual training on how to manage any conflicts of interest and record any conflicts in a register that we review and manage.
