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.

We had Adam Clark as our mortgage broker and found him to be very knowledgeable, professional, friendly and helpful throughout our mortgage request and eventual purchase of our awesome property. We have already recommended Adam / Squirrel to family and friends.

Squirrel made our home-buying journey a breeze. Professional, friendly, and they really know their stuff. If you're looking for a broker that goes the extra mile, these are the guys

Working with Blake on refinancing was seamless and we were kept in the loop at every stage. Thanks Blake!

I honestly didn't think we were able to get a mortgage or a house. Blake Neve made this possible and fulfilled the ultimate dream for us. Blake is patient, willing to answer any questions under the sun and is externally supportive. I would recommend him over and over again!
