j.

I highly recommend Niko for his professionalism and excellent customer service. The experience has been very reassuring for me and my family. Niko gave sound advice and able to simplify my financial goals for my current situation and my future retirement. If you ever need financial advice and assistance talk to Milestone Direct.

T.

Wanted to share some feedback on a few recent engagements with one of the Milestone Direct agents - Niko Velkovski. Long story short, fantastic. Niko provided me some advice and prepared a very clear report for me recently. All our interactions have been undertaken by Zoom or telephone and on each occasion he has been able to deliver clear, consistent advice using either platform. Niko has a number of tools available to him and he is adept at using them. He is able to share his screen easily in order to talk a client through his thinking and explain scenario based financial outcomes with ease. He is a great listener and has a great interpersonal style that makes the interaction easy and fills the client with confidence. Great job Niko, thanks for your professionalism and exceptional support.

We have had such a wonderful experience with Milestone Direct and in particular with Vinessa. She is knowledgeable, helpful and will always go the extra mile for you. We would not even consider looking elsewhere as we have built such a strong relationship with Vinessa. She has always made herself available and is always professional as well as personable. If you are looking for an excellent mortgage broker we HIGHLY recommend Milestone Direct.

N.

Become Wealth (April & Sarah) were simply a please to deal with on my journey to buy an investment property. They worked relentlessly for me -supporting me by navigating the system requirements as a kiwi living offshore, as well just simplifying the complex in every conversation. Amazing level of professionalism layered with personalization! I have already recommended their service and will continue to do so.

R.

Loved every minute of our time with working with April and Daniel. At a time when everything was changing and things got murky, you were both there to make things clearer, to answer our (MANY) questions and to just make the whole process smoother and easier. We cannot thank you enough for all that you had done so far and for all that is to come in the future. Thanks for making the experience as enjoyable as it can be whilst securing a mortgage ;-)

A.

April Hastilow in Become Christchurch is our Financial Angel!! She has endured endless vacant stares, pointless questions and put up with some terrible jokes ... but she is just the most engaging, smart, likeable and downright fantastic person to have on your team. She has saved us a heap of money, angst and literally our butts over the past 5 years and we simply adore her. We have recommended her to a lot of our friends as know they will be in best possible hands, but also have a brilliant time working with her. She is possibly the most dedicated person I've ever met.. she answered a call whilst at a friends wedding.. or it might have been her own!? You just have to use April! Call her now.

S.

Such a easy, stress free experience. Nik Velkovski was a great help to me while purchasing my home. He was helpful answering all my questions that I had - a lot of them and took the time to explain everything to me. Couldn’t recommend enough.

P.

I felt I needed to leave a 5 star review for April Hastilow, the best financial advisor that I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with! After a separation the thought of applying for a mortgage was overwhelming. April was able to listen to my situation and coach me through the process with professionalism that was second to none. Her ability to listen, suggest and assist actually made the whole process and surprisingly, a pleasure. I could not recommend April any higher.

F.

April and her team were really responsive and easy to get in touch with, which was great for helping us get into our first home and made the process much less stressful. We are really grateful for all the advice and industry knowledge she bought to the process. Highly recommend!

A.

Professional, sharp, experienced is how I would describe our mortgage adviser Nik. It is crucial to work with a knowledgeable professional during a stressful time when you are buying a property. Highly recommend to get in touch with Nik if you need help with house purchase.

L.

I can't recommend April highly enough after she held my hand when I purchased my first home. From answering what must have been the most ludicrously simple questions, to actually coming with me to sign the paperwork, she is genuinely one of the reasons I'm in my home today. You can just tell she's invested in making dreams come true, it comes across in every interaction you have with her, and her reaction when I was successful was one of pure joy! A delight to deal with and a broker I continue to refer anyone and everyone to, even if they're just starting their home ownership journey.

Z.

There are not enough adjectives to describe the pure professionalism, intelligence, integrity and approachability of April Hastilow. From the minute I met April, I knew that I was in very safe hands. She is a wealth of knowledge and has always been ready to answer any of my questions (regardless of how ridiculous!) and explain in terms that make practical sense . She has saved me money, has answered the phone even when she is busy and always does it with absolute class. She is a true asset to Become Wealth and I am not sure where I would be without her. Thank you so, so much.

T.

The information supplied to me made sense! Nik was patient and understanding that business and future financial planning is not a strength of mine. However, he made it easy. Highly recommend his advice and support through this complicated process. Thanks Nik, patience of a giant!

k.

My wife and I have reached an age where a review of expenses including insurances is prudent. Become Wealth like all insurance providers have a lot of 'tick boxes' to work through, but fortunately Vinessa is a good listener and made it easy - the outcome being 'a bit of old and a bit of new' which suits our circumstances perfectly. Very helpful.

R.

Nik Velkovski provided us with valuable financial advice and explained various options very clearly. He was readily available and always had a polite and respectful manner. His knowledge of bank, financial institutions, shares and managed funds was impressive and helped us make sound decisions. His manner is friendly and professional, and he listens carefully to questions and concerns. He is the consummate professional and we would highly recommend his services.

M.

Extremely helpful and professional mortgage advice and services. Nik helped me buy my first home, with the initial paperwork done while I was still overseas and that wasn't a problem. Made the process easy for me to understand and always able to answer any questions I had. Highly recommend.

J.

Nik and Milestone Direct smoothed out the lending process for us and ensured we got good rates and cash-back from the bank. It’s the first time I’d bothered using a mortgage broker and we highly recommend using them!

E.

Hastilow makes the hassle go away! My partner and I were very nervous as first-time home buyers - clueless to the workings of the world. We need not have worried. April was assuring, calm and clinical in her approach to the process. At every step she had us feeling informed, included and empowered. "We've got this team!" was said often. Once we found a potential forever home April made sure we had every chance to succeed. We were told exactly what we needed to do and put in touch with wonderful people to facilitate that. For April Hastilow I got the distinct feeling that excellence is routine.

N.

Managed to buy my first home with the help of 'Niko' from Milestone Direct. His advice and guidance was second to none. I was supported throughout the process with prompt resonses, and very effective professional guidance. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you so much Niko :-)

J.

Nik simplifies the lending application process, making everything easier. He was an absolute legend throughout our home buying journey - highly recommend.

J.

My partner and I worked with Milestone Direct's Niko Velkovski in securing our first home together in Wellington, June 2021. He made the entire process remarkably easy, providing clear and concise guidance at every step towards setting up our mortgage. Niko worked hard to understand our needs and priorities to carefully tailor a solution that best suited our situation. His experience and professionalism made us feel well supported throughout, and we are happy in the knowledge that he brokered us the best deal we could have got. With Niko's prompt, complete and accurate guidance, we have got into our first home together, and we are absolutely thrilled with the result. We will certainly be recommending him to friends and family for mortgage advice in the future. Thank you!

K.

We have just purchased our first home in Wellington through using Niko at Milestone Direct. He was extremely helpful, replied quickly and called and explained things whenever we needed. With one of us living in Palmerston North and myself living in Wellington it made buying a house much more difficult however Niko catered to this and assisted us with three way calls and more to ensure everything was smooth sailing. Thank you again Niko for all your help!

O.

I was a little bit apprehensive with the whole mortgage business, and was hesitant about discussing our financial situation and requirements with a broker. From the minute we got in touch with Niko, he was fantastic, he listened to our specific needs, understood our requirements and delivered a fantastic package. Niko's service did not just stopped at finding us a mortgage, but offering us advice throughout. He was always available 24/7: whether calling us on the phone, text messages or through email, at one point Niko called us from Australia to go through our paperwork. He made the whole process stress free, without his valuable input, advice and excellent a service we will no doubt still be without a home and or mortgage. I would highly recommend Niko and will used his services again when opportunities present itself. Thanks Heaps Nik,

B.

Niko Velkovski was excellent to work with. He was easy to communicate with, I always got an answer to my questions promptly. It felt like he cared about helping us, present us some excellent choices and provided useful advice when needed. And of course, he successfully helped us to buy our first home so I would highly recommend him.

E.

Nik is a pleasure to deal with. We first engaged with him during the purchase of our first home and now onto our second new build. He is always able to ‘dumb it down’ to make everything much easier to understand, as well as answer our many questions. He is a very genuine person, as every phone call always begins with a how are you rather than getting straight into business 😊 We will continue to work with Niko for as long as we can. Thanks for all your help for the past two years!

E.

Nik has been incredible to work with. His work ethic and reliability is outstanding. He walked the journey with me, promptly answering any questions I had and ensured I received the best outcome at every stage of the journey. He made the process of buying a house much less daunting and made sure I did everything I needed to in due time. Can’t thank him enough for all of his help!

K.

Niko was so helpful and informative throughout the whole process of buying our first home. I knew absolutely nothing about what we needed to do and he explained everything really clearly and helped at every step. He responded to all my emails and was always available to chat whenever I had questions. Can't recommend this company enough.

D.

We had Niko as our mortgage broker. The guy is a legend, constantly goes out of his way for us. Gave clear and tailored advice and even after all the paperwork was sorted he kept in touch to ensure our repayments were working for us. Highly recommended.

J.

We've been working with Niko over the last few months to secure our first home. We've just gone unconditional today and we can't thank Niko enough. As first home buyers, there are so many things that you just don't know and Niko has been a huge asset to help us navigate this. He has been extremely responsive whenever we've had a question and he was able to secure us a great deal. We couldn't give a higher recommendation - we'll 100% be working with Niko again in the future. If you need a great broker, who you know is on your side and will secure you a fantastic deal, then Niko is your man!

R.

Working with Niko at Milestone was fantastic. It was my first time getting a mortgage through a broker, so I had a lot to learn. He explained all the steps as we went through them so that I fully understood what was happening, why and how it worked in my favor. Looking forward to working with him again in the future

J.

Nik at Milestone made the process of buying our first home very easy. He was extremely patient, professional and responsive. He also worked very hard to get us a very handsome cash back with the bank. Would recommend Nik to everyone.

V.

I recently applied for a mortgage with milestone direct and would highly recommend Nik Velkovski. He worked very hard to get me a fantastic rate and cash back sum. He was very patient and helpful when explaining my financial requirements. Nik was very professional and responsive to my emails/phone calls, making him a pleasure to work with. He made this very stressful experience a breeze. Thank you Nik for your hard work and dedication on my behalf :)

A.

Nik and I have worked together for over 5 years. He has helped me with many financial matters including retirement financial planning, insurance, mortgages. Especially in the field of mortgages, Nik is a superstar. In my case, he has saved a deal from collapsing with his fast, out of the box thinking and excellent negotiations with the bank. Always a pleasure and look forward to many more years of productive relationship.

T.

This has been my first experience with a mortgage broker. I have been dealing with this company for several months with a first home purchase/mortgage, my broker (Niko Velkovski) has been extremely responsive to emails and queries and easy to deal with the whole way through. He's provided some very useful suggestions and made the whole unfamiliar process a lot less nerve racking than it could have been. Having read other reviews, i'm clearly not the only one who's had a very positive experience, Thanks again for the advice and assistance Nik!

S.

Buying my first home was very challenging and Nik helped me through the process, keeping me informed along the way and provided me with sound advice on how to structure my mortgage. I honestly would have given up without Nik's help and work in getting everything sorted with the bank. Thanks heaps and definitely would highly recommend working with Nik from Milestone Direct.

K.

Nik from Milestone did an absolutely awesome job with the purchase of our house. He was a great help with all of the required documents and the system they have set up for loading all of the information into their system is so easy to use. Nik's communication also helped smooth a difficult process for us, whether by email, text or phone calls - he always got the required information to us easily. Thanks Milestone Direct!

A.

My partner and I have had the pleasure of dealing with Niko Velkovski of the course of this year. He always made himself available when we had any questions and was able to get us interest rates lower than what the banks were advertising. I would recommend defiantly recommend Niko to anyone looking at purchasing a property. We will certainly be going back to Niko for our next purchase.

B.

We worked with Nik Velkovski from Milestone Direct to arrange pre-approval for a loan to buy a property and then subsequently to organise and finalise our mortgage. Nik was highly professional and responsive, explaining everything in simple terms to help us with our purchase.

A.

Mr Niko Velkovski did an excellent job for us. He is patient, knowledgeable, informative and persistent in finding the best solution tailored to individual circumstances. Based on my personal experience with Nik I would recommend Milestone Direct without reservation. Thank you Nik for your great help !

L.

Nik was our mortgage broker and provided us with an excellent result. He was easy to communicate with, listened to our situation and explained the different options that would work well for us. We will definitely be contacting Nik in the future to assist us again.

R.

Nik did a great job of structuring our loan to give us the flexibility we were looking for and to achieve a good outcome with the bank. The process went effortlessly and we got good advice which was very helpful. I'd highly recommend using Milestone Direct for any mortgage advice and applications.

S.

I worked with Niko Velkovski at Milestone Direct over a number of months buying my first home. Due to my changing work and personal circumstances I had to throw him a lot of curveballs and he was highly approachable, professional and informative every step of the way. I always knew what was going on and what stage of a given process we were at, and even professional financial advisors who have heard the advice I got from him have said that it was a sign of a great mortgage broker.

t.

Kept in touch over nearly 2 years as I worked towards a deposit to allow me to purchase my first home. Nik was really helpful in letting me know what I needed to sort to get funding and did his best to get back to me as quickly as he could during a very busy time for the banks and brokers. Very stoked to have got my first place and glad I can stop the stressful house hunt!

J.

I have recently used Milestone Direct to apply for a mortgage for my first home. Niko has been very helpful and is always available to answer any burning questions that we have had through out the application process.

Thank you Milestone Direct. We found Nik Velkovski & Naidine Ferreira extremely helpful & professional by providing us with a financial plan to achieve our future goals & also in assisting us by putting them into action. Would highly recommend.

L.

Josh Copeland explained very clearly how an investment portfolio operates. He went to great lengths to answer all my questions expertly and patiently. No detail was too small for hom to explore and elucidate. I cannot speak too highly of his investment knowledge and his very pleasant and understanding way of imparting such knowledge. I unreservedly recommend him.

U.

Nik Velkovski looked after us well when we initiated the process of building our first home. Good source of information and prompt service. Highly recommended!!!

I worked with Niko to refinance my mortgage. He is very knowledgeable and helpful, letting me know all of the options available to me and following up with myself and all parties involved to make it as quick and easy as possible.

M.

Milestone, their team and my financial adviser 'Nik Velkovski' in particular have been an incredible support in perusing my financial goals. I now own my own property at 25 in no small part to their advice and support. Would recommend engaging this team for advice on any size of financial portfolio. Many thanks!

A.

We were recommended to contact April and the rest of the Become Wealth team by a financial advisor friend. We found the service and experience to be extremely smooth and professional. They seem to have the right relationships with the banks, and so able to get the very best possible deal for their customers. Recommended.

R.

I cannot recommend Become Wealth enough, especially April Hastilow. April was very welcoming and caring from our first engagement, right through to settlement. She took care of all the financial advice to help me buy my first home and even recommended an inspector for the building report. She helped to translate the financial lingo into something I could understand and went over and above to make sure it was an easy and stress free process.
