First Home Dream Realized

The whole process was smooth and stress-free.”
Key Results:
- Secured first home with 10% deposit
- Successfully accessed KiwiSaver funds
- 0.3% better rate than bank’s initial offer
- Smooth settlement within 6 weeks

“What a skilled team!! Meysum was really helpful and informed. I appreciate all of his efforts in getting my mortgage approved in a short time. Meysum was really responsive and helpful during our mortgage application process. He had carefully explained whatever I didn’t understand and guided me through this maze.

“My partner and I were introduced to Meysum and the team through a friend. As first home buyers, it can be incredibly difficult to navigate all the nuances of the mortgage process. Meysum was incredibly calm, easy to work with and gave us a bunch of great advice. He was there throughout the entire process and very quick to respond to our queries. I highly recommend giving them a try if you’re in the market to buy your first or next property. Thank you guys very much!”

Thanks team.”

Courtney Hawkins
First Home Buyers
“This was my first time buying a house, and I couldn’t have done it without the help of Meysum Shafahi. He was incredibly helpful with all my questions, no matter how small the details were. From the very first day, he was kind, patient, and approachable. I could call him anytime, regardless of the hour, and he was always willing to help. Meysum made the whole process much easier and less stressful for me. I truly appreciate his professionalism and dedication. I came to know him through a friend who also bought a house with his help, and I’m so glad I did. I highly recommend Meysum to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable mortgage adviser!”
Neeta Krishnan
First Home Buyers
“Working with Meysum has been an unforgettable experience! Meysum not only guided us through the mortgage process with care and professionalism but also took the time to truly understand our values and needs. His dedication to helping us find the right home went beyond expectations—he even sourced a buyer’s agent for us and organised all the legalities around the property contract. What truly touched us was the manaaki (care) when the team came to our lifestyle property and planted lemon and lime trees, giving back to Papatūānuku (Earth Mother) in such a meaningful way. This gesture was a beautiful reflection of their commitment to people, community, and the land. Meysum is an exceptional mortgage broker, and we’re incredibly grateful for his unwavering support.”

“I contacted the team when I was feeling hopeless with Banks. Meysum contacted me and advised me of the steps and the process. Within a week, I had a higher approval from the same bank and within a month I had become a homeowner. As a single person, I never thought I would ever be able to buy a house in Auckland but my dream has come true and I own my home now. Thank you to Meysum and the team who made the whole journey seamless. Just waiting to move in now and get my lemon tree planted.”
