027 336 3000Mortgage advice across the North Shore
First home, refinance, investment, or new build. I am JJ, a Senior Mortgage Adviser based in Orewa. I work for you, not the banks — I compare lenders, structure the deal properly, and you pay nothing for the advice.
Local knowledge, North Shore included
I am based just north in Orewa and work with home buyers, refinancers, investors and new build clients right across the North Shore — from Devonport and Takapuna, through the East Coast Bays, to Albany and Long Bay. You get local knowledge, a wide panel of banks and non-bank lenders, and advice that costs you nothing.
Whether you are buying your first home in Browns Bay, looking at an apartment near Takapuna, or refinancing in Milford, I help you understand your options and structure the right approach.

North Shore mortgage questions
Do you help first home buyers on the North Shore?
Yes. The Shore is a competitive market, so getting your structure right matters. Based just north in Orewa, I work with first home buyers across the Shore to understand their options and plan the path to their first home.
Can you help finance an apartment or townhouse?
Yes. Some lenders assess apartments and smaller dwellings differently depending on the type and size, so it helps to know which lenders are comfortable with what. I help you find the ones that suit your situation.
Do you work with people refinancing on the Shore?
Yes. I review your current home loan, compare options across the panel, and help you see whether your existing loan still suits where you are today.
Can we meet in person?
Absolutely. I am based in Orewa and happy to meet across the North Shore, or by phone and video if that is easier for you.
Do you work with property investors?
Yes. I structure lending for investors and help you understand how different lenders view investment lending so we can plan the right approach.
Do you cover the whole North Shore?
From Devonport and Takapuna through the East Coast Bays to Albany and Long Bay, plus the neighbouring Hibiscus Coast and Rodney. If you are nearby, get in touch.
