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!

Had a great experience with Mark helping me sort a home loan. He was friendly, helpful, and proactive.

Adam in the Dunedin office was the pillar of strength we didn't know we needed through this whole process. Quick informative responses in easy to understand language. He listened to what we wanted to do, and worked with us explaining all the pros & cons to each option, and helped us narrow down to the best solution for us. Always polite and courteous, calm and reassuring throughout. When we next need lending or financial advise, Adam will be our go to guy!! :)

My partner and I couldn't be more impressed with Oli's help setting up our mortgage. As first home buyers, the process was daunting at first, but Oli assisted with every step. We also really appreciated Squirrel's transparency with banks they worked with and how their commission process worked. We are very satisfied with the final result and have already recommended others to Oli for his services!
