John Bolton (JB)

About John

John Bolton is one of New Zealand’s most respected voices in property finance. After a decade in senior banking, he founded Squirrel in 2008 with a vision to build a fairer financial system and better homes for Kiwis.

Since its beginnings in 2008, Squirrel has grown into one of the country’s largest mortgage brokerages and most trusted non-bank lenders, known for straight-talking advice and pragmatic funding solutions.

Having developed, traded, and funded property himself, JB knows first-hand the risks and realities of development. He combines that experience with market foresight and a candid style that continues to set Squirrel apart.

When he’s not helping reshape New Zealand’s financial system, JB can usually be found skiing (a little too fast) or eating sashimi. And naturally, his favourite colour is orange.

Blake provided professional, proactive and helpful advice throughout the mortgage application and home purchasing process. As a first home buyer, he provided invaluable insights and knowledge into the processes involved, empowering me to put my best foot forward and make informed decisions along the way. I really appreciated Blakes approachable and supportive communication, and the user friendly application process that Squirrel provides made applying to and comparing multiple banks easy and straightforward.

Tessa was amazing in guiding us through the process of purchasing our first home. Working with us from over a year before we made the purchase to get our finances in order before helping us make the purchase when we found the right house.
