Mark the Magician

Our whānau recommended Mark and we couldn't be more thankful for his support. Mark was a great communicator, transparent and always made sure we understood the next steps. Mark was very giving with his time and also patient with us. There were no dumb questions.

Mark's guidance and involvement was the only reason we got the house we wanted. We would highly recommend Mark to any and all people that are keen to purchase their next property.

Thank you Awhina for your incredible kind words.
Buying a home can be one of the most challenging and emotionally demanding journeys people go through, and banking is often unnecessarily complex, which can add to that pressure and impact people in very real ways.
I do wish you and your whānau every happiness as you settle into your new home.
Kind regards
Mark

We were first home buyers and had Mark recommended to us, he made the process we knew nothing about a breeze by explaining every step in language we could understand. He kept us in the loop and went above and beyond.

Mark was amazing

Mark was amazing! It was a little bit harder for my husband and I to get a mortgage as we didn’t quite hit the 20% mark (excuse the pun) but he worked tirelessly to ensure we were able to get a mortgage and a great rate. Can’t recommend him enough

First home buyer without a clue

I had no idea what I needed to do to start the whole process of buying my first home. I reached out to Mark Thomson and straight away he made me feel listened to, supportive and helped break down every simple question I could possibly think of.

Mark was incredibly patient and communicated with me at all times. His open and honest approach often being the voice of reason and calm when I started suggesting out of the box ideas, whilst still making me feel heard.

If any of my friends in the future are looking to buy property I would not hesitate to reach out to Mark and pushing them in his direction.

Don't sleep on Mortgage Brokers

We worked with Mark and he kept the whole process simple and straight to the point. Always available for questions and had simple fast responses. He made our first home buying journey a breeze and far less intimidating than it could have been.

My partner and I were 1st time buyers and were so nervous and excited at the same time. Mark took his time with us and was ever so patient. He was always clear with his advice and was happy to repeat himself if i didnt understand. Mark taught us strategies
to help us along the way. Its not about pouring the mist money into the house but taking your time and thinking about the long term. He gave us some useful questions to ask at open homes to get a feel for how to progess when making an offer. Mark really held our hands all the way through the process which wasn't a straight forward one. We had several failures along the way, until we found our dream home. He was always available to us and without fail replied to our emails and the many questions that we had. He was absolutely brilliant and I can't recommend him enough. Thank you Mark.

Great service

Great service - nothing was too much of a problem, despite the nature of the house purchase contract and high workload.

Often answered question afterhours when the next day would have been fine.

Excellent service and knowledge

Mark was so easy to deal with. We have used a few mortgage brokers overs the years but Mark gave us options of things we didn’t know were available. He has a huge amount of knowledge and made the process for us so easy. He is incredibly professional and very knowledgeable.
We would highly recommend Mark for anyone looking for a mortgage broker that you can trust.
