Ramon Willis
About Ramon
Mortgage Adviser | FSP No. 1012396
Squirrel Mortgages Ltd | FAP Licence No. 136364
With over 20 years in the finance industry, Ramon brings a diverse range of experience — Asset Finance Broker, KiwiSaver facilitator at Koura Wealth, Insurance Facilitator at Life Direct, and most recently Mortgage Adviser at Loan Market Capital & Coast.
He specialises in residential mortgages and genuinely loves the moment a client gets the keys — and after two decades in the industry, it still gets him every time.
Outside of work you’ll find Ramon on the water or in the hills — fishing, diving, and mountain biking when he’s not firing up the BBQ for a family dinner or planning the next overseas adventure. At home, his rescue dogs run that show — they've claimed the house, the bed, and probably the TV remote. Zero training. Full rein. No regrets (…mostly).
Qualifications
NZ Certification in Financial Services.

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.

As first-home buyers, we truly appreciated Sudam's guidance, patience, and clear communication every step of the way. He made what initially felt like a stressful process much smoother and much easier to understand. We're very grateful for all the effort Sudam put into helping us secure the right loan structure and competitive rates. Reaching this milestone is incredibly exciting for us, and we're glad to have had his support throughout the entire journey. Thank you, Sudam, for helping make our dream of homeownership a reality.

I recently completed a full refinance, and I had the privilege of working with Ari Bains - Mortgage Adviser Christchurch, throughout the entire process. Ari was exceptional from start to finish. He handled every step with efficiency, clarity, and genuine care, making what could have been a stressful financial transition feel smooth and well‑managed. Ari took the time to understand my situation in detail and provided clear guidance at every stage. His communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring, and he consistently went the extra mile to ensure everything was completed correctly and on time. I felt supported, informed, and confident in every decision because of his expertise. If you are looking for someone who is knowledgeable, reliable, and truly committed to helping you achieve the best financial outcome, I highly recommend Ari Bains. His service has been outstanding, and I am genuinely grateful for his help.
