The importance of reviewing your mortgage.

July 7, 2021

Reviewing your mortgage is not only just about getting shiny new low-interest rates and a cash incentive. While the overall deal negotiated is important, it is also about making sure that the bank your home loan is with, is still the best bank for you. That the loan products and benefits of those products are…

Mike from Connect Me Mortgages helped us secure a good mortgage for purchase of our first home in New Zealand. We have received a very professional service and excellent advice. Mike made sure we understand all the options, and shared useful links explaining how offset and other types of mortgages work. We felt well informed and confident when signing the documents. Communication was excellent throughout, thanks again!

Mike was an absolute pleasure to deal with. As first home buyers we had a lot of questions and he was always happy to answer them through an email or phone call. He was extremely professional helped us understand the process of buying a house and structuring our mortgage to fit our goals.

We came to knowing of Connect Mortgages at the hardest season of our lives. We had just lost our mum and months later we were looking to buy a house. They’re very attentive, professional and gave us sound advise. We had no idea what we were doing but they helped us immensely. A year on they’ve helped us figure out how to structure our mortgage, helped us apply for a mortgage top up. We worked specifically with Mike McGinley and we tell our friends looking to buy a house, all about their services.

It's been great working with Joshua Logan from Connect Me Mortgages. We updated our insurance policies and Joshua was friendly, helpful and dealt with all the paperwork/process for us. We're confident that we have the correct insurances (life, health) in place.

To say Emma went the extra mile is an understatement. She made the whole mortgage process a breeze.Emma secured two great offers from the banks and locked in an excellent deal within a week of my first contact with her! I’m delighted with the outcome.Emma really cares and listens. She took care of all communications across all parties and attended to every single detail professionally and efficiently!In summary, I cannot recommend Emma highly enough. She provides an exceptional first class and seamless service. Thank you!

Had a fantastic experience with Brodie Sadgrove who helped re-fiannce our mortgage to fund major rennovations. He delivered quick and hassle free service, taking the stress of dealing with the bank and their red tape, out of the equation. Would highly recommend.

I'm a first time home buyer and I cannot speak highly enough on how Brodie Sadgrove made this home buying experience easy and stress-free for me. I know some people who shared stories on how stressful it can be when buying a house especially if it's your first time. I was worried that I was going to go through the same thing and was preparing myself for it. But Brodie was really professional and knowledgeable in his field. He was also very understanding and very patient especially when explaining things to me (so many terms/jargons I didn't understand LOL). Overall, I am very much satisfied with Brodie's service and will highly recommend him to others. Thank you, Brodie! :-) Juna

Looking for finance when it comes to lending for a property is not always the easiest and can also be a huge emotional rollercoaster for some people.In some cases, it can be difficult to share lots of case-sensitive personal information with a broker who you never knew or met before.We investigated our options with our first port of call being on Google and contacted the top five listings, which included some of the larger mortgage broker brands including squirrel who placed in the top three on Google.I write this review for Emma at connectme mortgages but also highlight why I did not choose to continue the dealings after two or three phone call conversations and document submissions with others. Therefore this review is comparable to the experience of the last 4 to 5 weeks with all of the selected brokers.Emma made the experience very personal. She allowed us to feel comfortable and shared processes and insights into lenders thinking and her suggestions for us to align with. She took the responsibility to realise the result one way or the other. Constant communications daily allowed us to feel that maybe she was only working for us and no other client.Emma can see the big picture from the small window shared with her as a top-class detective would in a crime scene.Selflessly using her negotiating skills with lenders to even get them to reduce their admin fees including hers because she wanted this to work for us.In comparison to early days whilst still talking to many brokers including Emma, no one at all cut it to the level of her qualities and hence it was not a difficult choice for us to engage the best broker for the job.Thank you Emma you are a true asset to the company and have given confidence to us that we can rely on you, hence next time knowing you are a text message away.Unfortunately, we can only give 5 stars here but no doubt worth 10.JJ

My whānau and I have our dream home - and that’s thanks to Ronnie and Brodie from Connect Me Mortgages. We were new to the selling/buying process and didn’t really understand how it all worked. But they answered every question we had (there were A LOT), their patience and organisation made everything so easy for us. Brodie’s experience and knowledge of the property market and commitment to getting us the best mortgage option was fantastic. They both went above and beyond - and we can’t thank them enough. We know without their help, we wouldn’t be in our beautiful new home.

Mike from Connect Me Mortgages was brilliant to deal with. I had a couple of slightly complicated scenarios that he gave thorough advice around, and when it came to structuring the final mortgage gave really clear and easily understandable advice and information. He was super responsive, and always has time for my questions. I would not hesitate to work with Mike again, and have already recommended him to friends and family!

We have used Brodie for a refinance and a pre-approval for a new purchase. We will use Brodie again without any hesitation.Brodie has always replied quicker than you expect. He is incredibly proactive and guiding throughout the entire process.Along with helping us get a good result, he has also given us ideas for options that we hadn't considered.

Mike from Connect Me Mortgages was beyond helpful, professional and knowledgeable.

I met Emma through recommendation a few months ago. I was beginning the process of purchasing my first house. This can be a daunting task at times. Emma took me through step by step and had some great industry knowledge which helped me along the way. Emma was very approachable and provides valuable advice whenever needed.I couldn't recommend Emma highly enough. I look forward to working with her in the future.

In today’s market in NZ it is very competitive and difficult to get a foot in the door. We were lucky to have Faifili Levave in our corner to be able to make what seemed impossible, very much possible. Faifili was able to answer all of our questions and helped us understand the process of purchasing a property. Faifili remained calm and worked very well under pressure which we couldn’t be more grateful fo. Faifili was also able to recommend an awesome solicitor and guided us through the whole process and now we own our first home so a big thank you to Faifili Levave for all of his hard work! I highly recommend you get in touch with him to help make your dreams a reality.

Emma has provided outstanding advice to us. We first meet Emma when doing a new build a couple of years ago. She provided great service and always went out of her way to give sound advice. We were delighted to find her at Connect Me and used her services again to restructure our loan. We referred our son to Emma who has just bought his first home and thanks to Emma’s extensive experience and knowledge he is now a proud home owner. We would highly recommend Emma’s services - she is amazing!

I dealt with Mike and he was great helping me get into my first home and getting me the best deal from the bank we went with. Since this was a turn key he worked with me all throughout 2020 helping me come up with back up options that thankfully weren’t needed. He worked with me on this for the best part of 18 months. Definitely reccomend Mike and the team at connect me mortgages.

Faifili was simply awesome!! Presented him with a huge challenge to unravel business and personal lending and bring it all together. He listened from the start and structured a deal that made a huge difference to us. Would totally recommend Faifili. His communication throughout was great and we knew where thinvs were at every step of the way. Superb!

We have had dealings with banks and they were unprofessional and unhelpful towards my first home buying situation with one of the Mobile Mortgage Managers asked if we even knew what we were doing in a condescending way.Me and my wife had such a terrible experience with the bank when we gave them 8 business days in advance to see if we could go unconditional on our offer but there were no response to my emails or correspondence and we ended up losing on the home because we had to go conditional to finance. After the awful experience with the bank we ended up going to see Mike and it was wonderful working with Mike. As a first home buyer, I felt looked after with Mike.Mike was helpful in every way from the documents needed for the application, to the home loan offer, to the settlement. He ensured that I understood every step of the way on what was happening. Mike was genuine and was always present through the whole way.I have referred him to many other friends and will continue to do so because I know that he will look after all his clients. It was a pleasure working with him and can not wait to work with him in the future once my fixed terms end to reassess the situation and work in a new deal.

We found our forever home but hadnt yet sorted much else. We searched for local brokers and Connect Me Mortgages were highly recommended.I was impressed when Mike responded to us almost immediately after sending him our enquiry. Mike talked us through the entire process from start to end, he made everything seem so easy for us at every step and turn. Nothing was too much and he was always available to talk. We purchased our forever home and are extremely grateful to Mike. If you want professionalism & outstanding service please contact Mike.

Emma Johnston has been our mortgage broker since 2006 (15yrs). She helped us get our first home when we thought it wasn’t possible. When we found out she joined Connect Me Mortgage it was a no brainer that we follow her. Emma has provided us with excellent service throughout the years and in respect she has our loyalty always. Emma is so quick and attentive to ensuring she gets what her customers need in a really way. She goes the extra mile and explores all options for her customers. We have recommended Emma to all my friends and family across the country. She is the best.

Mike was very responsive and worked hard to provide us answers we needed despite short time frames. He also provided great recommendation on people we can work with (conveyancer) allowing us to form a great team to support us in the home buying journey. We got our bank pre-approval in Dec 16, and got our offer to a home accepted 3 Feb! In a market as crazy as NZ, it is a great win!

Mike is the man! Thank you for helping us secure our first home. We were until a little time pressure over the busy holiday period but Mike was still able to help us really quickly and everything was sorted well in advance of our settlement date. He is clear, very responsive, doesn't put you under any pressure and is patient when you don't quite understand something. We look forward to working with you for the rest of our mortgage days.

I was referred to Brodie Sadgrove through a colleague. Brodie was very professional and very fast at responding to any questions or queries I had throughout the process of getting a mortgage. As I am primarily based overseas with work commitments I was impressed at how easy Brodie made the whole process. I would highly recommend Brodie and will happily use his expertise in the future.

Emily Mecchia

We are moving into our dream home only because of Mike and the team at Connect Me Mortgages.

Micaela Stewart

20:30 13 Dec 20

As a first time home buyer, the immense support Mike and the Connect Me Mortgages team provided was invaluable. Through what could've been such a daunting experience, Mike went above and beyond to ensure I was well looked after from the beginning right through to the end. I had "shopped around" many other mortgage advisors/companies before hand and Mike and the team was by far the best, personable and genuine service I've come across. I could not recommend Connect Me Mortgages enough! Thanks Mike - couldn't have gotten into my first home without you!

Natasha Curham

05:23 10 Dec 20

We can not recommend Mike more highly. From our very first interaction with him he has taken the time to understand our complex situation with international lending and equity and always worked hard to get us the best financial outcomes. His communication skills are second to none - he always wrote, called and text back straight away. Mike is clearly very well respected in the field, much to the benefit of his clients. A part of our settlement didn't go to plan (nothing to do with Mike) & he absolutely saved the day! We are forever grateful. Thank you Mike!

Kia Ora,We had the privilege of working with Faifili. I have to say I always found the process of going through personal finances very daunting. However, Faifili made us feel comfortable and at ease during the process with no judgement. Faifili is very professional and had good product knowledge he was always available to answer any questions that I had, and I had A LOT of questions. :)Thank you Faifili for helping us achieve our goal of being homeowners, a dream I thought may not be possible but we made it! Nga mihi nui ki a koe!

Ioana Gaualofa

02:28 24 Nov 20

After many attempts with the bank, we were apprehensive about working with a mortgage broker. My husband and I finally decided to work with Faifili when he was highly recommended by a friend. I must say, contacting Faifili and was the best decision we ever made.Faifili, provided an exceptional service.He was non judgental in his approach, his ability to communicate and provide sound advice made the whole process easy.When we had questions Faifili was always readily available, whether it by phone or emails. His positive attitude and willingness for us to succeed gave us confident. He gave us hope. What was once "impossible is now possible". We are grateful for all the support he's given us and we will definitely continue work with him.

Mike at Connect me mortgages went out of his way to help me and even though there was nothing to gain for Mike he literally spent hours over a course of a month to explain how the market works, giving me advice and putting me into great people he knows in the industry..

Brodie is excellent with what he does. He's always there to answer our questions and gives us advise that we need to get where we are. He has stuck with us for more than 2 years always encouraging us to be patient. We just bought our house with his help. We got approved in the middle of Covid when others stopped doing anything due to Covid. We are very happy with his services and we wouldn't change anything at all. We are very lucky to find him through a mutual friend. Thanks Brodie and Connect Me Mortgages for helping us reach our goal!👏❤🎉

Fiona Peters

22:56 11 Oct 20

I was given Mike's name by a work colleague and was so thankful. Mike has made the process of getting a mortgage stress free. He explained everything to me clearly and in language I could understand. Once the house went through I got him to look at my KiwiSaver again another easy stress free process. I thoroughly recommend using these guys they know what they are doing and get you value for money. I would not hesitate in recommending Mike and the team to any of my friends or colleagues.

Brodie Sadgrove? Definitely worth it. Being on my own in NZ meant - I couldn't afford to make a mistake while buying a house. Apart from getting a lot of details about properties, loans, agreements etc., I really appreciated that I had his fast responses on the phone and did not have to deal with a bank. You really do not want to be stuck with a bank's call center.

I met Brodie through a referral from a developer/vendor for property we were both considering purchasing and while I did not end up buying that piece of property, Brodie was very engaging in providing answers to my questions and we didn’t speak until I actually found the process of buying a new home and dealing with banks absolutely stressful. A colleague advised to engage a mortgage broker and instead of running to a few names - I approached Brodie. He worked with me really well being a good communicator and most importantly advising me on risks associated with types of loan structures. I was able to reach him after hours during a stressful period and he was professional and pleasant to deal with. He helped during our lockdown as that’s when I was about to settle and I have to say I am very satisfied with his services communication advice and help with structuring my mortgage. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brodie.

I've personally know Mike for several years now and I must say from an outcomes perspective there is no one better.I have had a experiances with a couple of other brokers who have managed to a job, haven't had the knowledge that Mike has. From the start he knows if you are going to get a loan and who is lending for your situation. Where as I have found other brokers haven't, you go through the forms process then they give you the "bad" news.Mike and the team offer practical solutions for finance. Not all the time I've liked the message, but the reality was that it simply wasn't possible in the lending enviroment at the time.There approach is the most modern I've experianced. Their online system for gathering info is fantastic and makes the process of getting the info they need to help you get the finance simple. There isn't one better.I would highly recommend Mike if you are looking to finance a purchase of a significant asset in the future.

Working with Mike and the ConnectMe team removed a significant amount of stress and uncertainty from the mortgage process. Mike was able to recommend a product that fit our financial needs, preferences and lifestyle, as well as guide us through the process to buying our first home.I would use ConnectMe Mortgages again, and will continue to recommend Mike to friends and family.

Mike was am absolute pleasure to work with. Being first home buyers we were very unsure of the process involved and the steps that we needed to take while trying to purchase our property but Mike simplified a lot of the 'scare factors' and made things easy for us (especially purchasing during lock-down)!. Mike remained very professional throughout the time we had our dealings with him and managed to get us a great deal in the end! He was very thorough, fast paced and always made himself available for advice or general information. Appreciate all of your help Mike and we are looking forward to working with you going forth.

Thank goodness for Mike. He gave me such a good steer and helped me through a tricky process to where I came out with a great deal. I seriously couldn't have done it successfully without his great advice and support.

Mike at ConnectMe mortgages was brilliant to work with. We got in touch with Mike early on, in the search for our first home in Wellington. He was very informative, flexible with his time, and patient as he worked us through the house buying process. He was helpful and available at each step of the way. Thank you Mike for making our home buying process easier. We highly recommend your services!We also had the pleasure of working with Joshua, who is the insurance adviser at ConnectMe. Brilliant to work with, Josh worked tirelessly to get us insurance policies to suit us.Thank you ConnectMe Mortgages, you have truly made adulting easier.

Brodie made our home buying experience run like an absolute dream, even in the middle of a pandemic. The process from the outset was so easy; Connectme allowed us to complete most of the paperwork online, with a great dashboard that helped us to keep track and understand the process. Brodie went above and beyond to help us with a successful offer on a home. It was a tough and competitive buying environment and Brodie stuck by us, through multiple offers - always providing guidance and support (even during the uncertainty of COVID!) Could not recommend more highly. If you want professional, responsive, honest and effective support with obtaining a mortgage and securing your home - look no further. Thanks so much!

Mike was absolutely great to work with. He is extremely clear and very patient in explaining to us the things that we do not understand about buying our first home. Now, that we have our place to call "Home, Sweet Home". Thank you Mike and Connectmemorgages for helping us all the way through.

Cannot recommend Brodie Sadgrove enough at Connect Me Mortgages. He helped us through the entire process seamlessly, also connecting us with an insurance broker who was very helpful. Will definitely use Brodie's services again in the future. Thanks so much, couldn't have done it all without you.

Mike is fantastic! As first home buyers we were pretty new to the whole scene. With his extensive knowledge he made this really easy for us, we never had a problem getting hold of him if we needed to check something or get further advice. We are now in our new home and loving it! Thanks again Mike. Tom & Grace

Absolutely brilliant, Mike is a mortgage broker that absolutely works for you! We are based in Auckland, so distance was not an issue, we did everything through the online platform, email and phone. He has in depth knowledge of the mortgage lending market, and clearly has the right relationships with the banks as everything went smoothly. Will give 6 stars if i could

Brodie helped me get into my first home I highly recommend his professional services. He was able to let me know what was possible within a situation that for me was a bit variable as to what deposit I had and what property I would have an opportunity to give an offer on. Brodie gave me realistic possibilities from a financial services perspective every step of the way for the different scenarios that came up.Brodie kept in touch with me to make sure I wasted no time while waiting on information about my deposit amount or property offer. During the waiting periods he guided me to get all the necessary paper work/supporting evidence in place which he knew the bank would want covered off. That preparation really made the final steps much easier. For someone new to the house buying process I highly recommend Brodie, he is very straight forward, no nonsense, with a drive to help people.For people (like me) who like to do paper work using the internet Brodie also had the option of a simple interface via his company's website to upload documents and even schedule catch up appointments with him. On this website interface (you have your own log in area) you can see easily if there is anything outstanding and if the papers that you have uploaded have been accepted. Brodie also personally phoned me during the critical moments of the process this was greatly appreciated.

I cannot thank Mike enough for the hard work he put in and his professionalism he handles all his work with.Thank you Mike for getting me in to my first home, I couldn't have done it without you.

Brodie worked tirelessly to get our first home over the line. He provided sound advice when we needed it, and was always on hand and responsive for those hairy last-few-moments-before-auction times. Everything went smoothly with our mortgage and settlement and he was able to negotiate a cash incentive too which really helped with move in costs. I 100% recommend Brodie and when the time comes, we'll be coming back to him. Thanks Brodie!
