Here’s to many more years of serving the Karaka community — with fewer surprise photo shoots (maybe). 😉

The start of the year is a great time to review your insurance. 🧐 Don't know where to start? We're here to help!
Here are five things to think about!

👉 Does your insurance cover accurately cover all your assets? For example, if the unimaginable happened and you needed to rebuild your house, would your insurance fully cover it?

👉 Have you made any large or expensive purchases? You may need to add them as listed items on your home contents policy.

👉 Could you be eligible for discounts if you consolidated your insurance providers?

👉 If you need to bring down your premium, it could be worth exploring if there is a way to bring down your premiums while still ensuring you're well protected. But don’t do anything until you talk to an expert, such as your Mortgage Mentor. They can help you figure out the options best for you.

I’m excited to announce I recently received a New Adviser of the Year Excellence Award as part of the New Zealand Mortgage Awards.

These awards showcase the achievements of professionals within the mortgage and finance industry across New Zealand, highlighting their dedication, expertise, and service. I am thrilled to be recognised alongside my peers.

I wanted to thank you, my clients, for your trust and support. The best part of my job is working alongside you as you work towards your financial goals!
