Reviews of Michael Anastasiadis | Mortgage Adviser Wellington

A. S.

Michael was a fantastic mortgage broker, we ended up looking for over a year and during that time he was very patient and always made himself available when we needed him. As first home buyers it was really great to have someone so knowledgeable and helpful on our side. We would definitely recommend Michael to anyone looking to get a mortgage - he is professional, friendly, and great to work with!

M. I.

Michael helped us with securing funding for our first new build, assisting us from start to finish. Throughout the process Michael shared his extensive know, providing options tailored to our needs. He regularly communicated with us and was always ready and available to assist with the process and any queries we had. I would say that he regularly went above and beyond our expectations for a mortgage broker. We would very highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

T. R.

My experience with having Michael as my mortgage broker was exactly how I envisaged it would be. I knew Michael in a previous work role and solely based on that, I knew he would deliver. If there was a way, Michael would find it to ensure my needs were met - And he didn't disappoint. His availability, responsiveness to my questions and knowledge of the industry to "this novice, was invaluable!!! "Ooooh, I wouldn't put an offer on that place, it's monolithic ☹". I didn't even know what that was. He was so supportive and I know that it wasn't because we knew each other. He's like a dog with a bone - He'll find a way 😊 We wouldn't have the home we have without him. Thank you Michael for everything xxx

B. P.

An easy and great experience. Michael is always professional and provides excellent advice which is honest. My lack of housing knowledge or misreading of emails he will explain via a quick phone call to make the whole process so much clearer. Michael made the whole mortgage process simple and stress-free for our first investment. All the best for 2022.

J. R.

After googling mortgage brokers in Wellington and randomly picking Mike, we went through 2 mortgage applications and 1 extension on our current application. Mike stuck with us all the way through and was very responsive throughout the whole process. His communication skills are excellent and he always gave us the best professional advice. We feel we were quite lucky to have found him and now look forward to moving into our new home.

R. H.

So lucky to have had Michael helping us through buying our first house. He was always on hand to talk us through everything, gave us the best advice, so friendly and always boosting up our moral. Brilliant guy, and would 100% recommend

J. O.

Michael worked with us for about 18 months during what was an extremely challenging time to buy a house (started pre-covid, and then painstakingly watched everything climb 2-300k in a year). Michael was patient with us through the whole process and provided us a huge amount of excellent knowledge and help through our first house buying process. There were times we were cutting it close to deadline to make an offer and he always pulled through to get the mortgage side sorted as fast as possible and always made time to answer any questions on a quick phone call if needed. Thanks for everything and getting us into our dream house :)

J. y.

Honest and very professional, great communication skills, Michael helped us with our first home buying to get the best deal in the market. Journeyed alongside even till the date of settlement, liaising with the mortgage lenders to clarify some confusions emerged out of no where because of miscommunication between the bank and our solicitor. Michael went out of the way and contacted the bank officials and resolved the issue for us.

A. F.

Michael has ensured that our mortgage process was so simply and easy. Not only did he guide us throughout the whole process, but he make every communication so clear, we had many questions throughout and they were always answered so clearly and promptly. We couldn't have done this without him and would highly recommend Michael as your mortgage broker.

D. L.

Michael is fantastic! I have been working with him from overseas for a good few years now, over multiple deals, which have all been successful and smooth. Michael is reliable, practical and fast! He is certainly someone I would highly recommend!

B. C.

Michael was an invaluable resource for us working our way through buying a home for the first time in a crazy market. He communicated quickly and often, and helped make a complicated process much easier to navigate. He has been in the Wellington region a long time and knows all the ins and outs. We are incredibly grateful for his part in us purchasing our first home!

R.

Best Mortgage Broker around! Thank you Michael for your help purchasing our first home. Your professionalism, patience and regular follow ups means a lot to your clients especially to those who are new to this home buying journey like me. I am glad I got to deal with an empathetic professional like you. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend your services. Keep growing!

D. H.

Michael helped us getting our first home. From the start till the end of our house purchasing journey Michael has always been providing professional and honest advice to us. As a first home buyer we had a stressful start talking to the bank trying to understand the process, however after we met Michael everything was nice and clear as he was always ready with the clear explanation where we didn't even have to ask many questions. Michael's work ethic, fantastic communication and quality broker skills were always beyond our expectation. He will be the only broker that we'd go for in the future.

S.

Michael was exceptional throughout the purchase process. Very clear communication, timely processing and was always available for advice. Cannot recommend Michael highly enough and look forward to doing business again!

H. B.

What a journey! Michael stuck with us for two years in this crazy world. Offering guidance, support and encouragement when needed. After multiple renewals and endless patience we are in our first home, and this is largely down to Michael going above and beyond! If you're looking for someone to help you understand the world of mortgage and guide you through it safely, Michael's your guy! Thanks for everything!

T. B.

Michael helped my fiance and I buy our first home. Going into this process we had no idea of the majority of the process or where to begin. Coupled with this, we are both self-employed contractors, which led to a lot of extra financial information gathering as part of our application to the bank. Michael did not skip a beat with any of this. He told us exactly what we needed to do and how best to go about it, and was thorough and patient with explanations and all of our questions. He was also excellent with gently following up and giving us reminders if we were ever slow to get something done. While buying a house for the first time is always going to be relatively stressful, I believe it was as smooth as it could have been because of Michael's help, and I always felt confident that he would get us to the next step. Michael was professional, easy to work with, kind, and always available throughout our almost 12 month process(extended out due to purchasing a not yet started new build) and his enthusiasm never waned over the whole year. I cannot recommend Michael enough to anyone in need of a mortgage broker. Thanks mate!

A. M.

Michael was amazing made the process so easy and enjoyable especially with new lending rules that have made funding more difficult. Definitely highly recommend Michael for all mortgage requirements.

J. R.

We found our way to Michael by reading glowing five-star reviews from his clients on google, so here is another one.... Michael is an absolute LEGEND! We knew absolutely nothing before he took us on. So on the ball and helped us to get our great first home in Miramar. We would recommend him to anyone. Cheers Michael!

S.

I originally came across some of Michael's videos on Facebook that I found helpful and that's what prompted me to get in touch. He was so quick to respond right from the get-go and always took the time to explain everything when I seemed to have a million questions! Michael helped me through every step of the process with such patience and put my mind at ease, I could not have done it without him! I would (and have already have) recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

T. T.

Michael was our mortgage broker when we purchased our house. He was helpful every step of the way and took the stress of sorting finance off our hands. Michael is always quick to respond and willing to go above and beyond throughout the entire process.

J. T.

Michael has been a paragon of professionalism. He has been helpful throughout, goes the extra mile, working (seems like) 24/7. He is diligent and responsive, great communication throughout. He is proactive and enthusiastic as illustrated by his coaching on social media and work ethic. He has also been patient with us, explaining terms and concepts in words we can understand. He helped us get our first investment property. He is the epitome of mortgage brokers. Highly recommend

J. H.

We used Michael to help us when purchasing/selling to get into a new home. We are based in Auckland and even though Michael is Wellington based the process was very easy. Throughout the whole process the communication was excellent, Michael was proactive and he kept us informed the whole way through. We were never left wondering ‘What next’ which certainly removed a lot of stress in a normally stressful time. We really appreciated the value Michael was able to add & would definitely recommend him (& we have) to anyone

T. S.

My partner and I used Michael’s services to get into our first home. He made the process surprisingly easy letting us know whenever there were any changes or additional information he needed. He was only ever a phone call away and was always polite considerate of our lack of understanding. Buying for the first time can be confusing. Overall a really nice, personable guy and we would no doubt use him again.

C. W.

As always, Michael has been so patient and helpful in sorting out our loan. He makes the process so easy. 100% recommend.

C. M.

I was like "why do I need a mortgage broker when I can just go to my bank?". I was nervous about having to move my mortgage to a different bank, if he found a better deal with someone else, and all the fuss that goes with it. Well, my fears weren't warranted. Michael worked with my bank to broker the very best deal which I feel I wouldn't have got on my own. The best thing was the flawless communication. Text, Call, Email and he would respond in minutes. I know I wouldn't have got that if I worked directly with the bank. He keep things simple and clear, keeping me mentally in a good calm space when dealing with huge life stuff like buying a home. I can't wait to recommend him to others.

W. R.

Michael has been great to work with from start to finish. Over the last few years I've looked for a home on and off and even when I wasn't looking he would take the time to call me every few months and give me an update on the market. Once I was starting to put offers in he made the process very simple and easy to understand. No question was a stupid question and he gave all the info and help needed to make the Mortgage application process as easy and painless as possible, even with some complex circumstances. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone, fantastic guy to work with!

N. D.

An easy and great experience. Michael is always professional, personable, and provides fantastic advice which he'll never sugarcoat. Michael's made the whole mortgage process simple and stress-free. No need to look anywhere else for my mortgage needs!

E.

Michael helped me get into my first home. He's professional, approachable and gave me good advice. He's great at communicating and keeping me informed as well as quick in responding. He made the whole process easier and less stressful. Thanks Michael!

I.

What can I say? Never owned a house, super scared of such a daunty process. Initially contacted Michael because of the 5* reviews, but became hesitant and anxious because of such a tough housing market. What did Michael do..? He listened, emphathised, explained with so much patience that I started feeling confident and was no longer scared having the many chats over the phone and text messages with Michael.. Michael, you've been absolutely incredible. Your honesty, patience and clear explanations were like massive support pillars throughout the process. Because of your perserverance, quick actions and you sticking by me through it all, I've got a house and will turn it into a home for me and my boys.. Bless you Michael, until we be in touch again.. Thanks a million!

R. S.

Michael worked very hard to help us secure our mortgage. We really appreciated his effort and would happily recommend him to others.

C. G.

Michael has been absolutely fantastic over the past ~10 months of working with him. We had a pretty tricky situation for him to work through but he was so persistent and went above and beyond. He was always willing to talk through anything with us. We're so grateful for his exceptional communications and service! Would absolutely recommend Michael!

C. M.

Top man - we got in contact with Michael 2 years ago when we were nowhere near ready to buy but he kept in touch and when the time was right spent 14 months advising us on every situation imaginable until finally this week we went unconditional. Thank you for your patience Michael. We couldn’t be happier.

D.

Highly recommended! Michael was thorough and patient and had really practical advice throughout the long process of buying a new build home.

B. B.

Having not liked dealing with mortgage brokers in the past, Michael was awesome. He was straight-up with us but still encouraging and positive. Really quick to process things and answer any quick questions, would definitely work with Michael again. Thanks!

J. B.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Michael who arranged finance for our upcoming project. He was always very professional, hard working and kept us up to date at all times. Highly recommend.

K.

Michael made our dreams come true by helping us get our first home, he made the whole process smooth as possible. Michael always provided us with professional and honest advice, Would definitely recommend him.

H. L.

We were referred to Michael by 2 different people who had used his services and he came highly recommended. We couldn’t have been more lucky to come across him. We’re a couple who have both started new businesses post-covid, and every other broker had advised us not to bother applying for at least our first 2 years in business. Michael was happy to take us on 10 months in, and he quickly secured us a pre-approval which exceeded both of our expectations. He continued to work relentlessly to ensure we were unconditionally approved at the earliest possible opportunities, and ultimately made it possible for us to buy a dream home after only looking for a short time. Thank you so much Michael - I would recommend you to anyone who’s looking for a world class broker.

M.

Dealing with Michael throughout our application was a professional and refreshing experience. We contacted and worked with Michael for nearly 8 months before purchasing the property. He was always quick with replies to queries and we always felt he had our best interests at heart. Would strongly recommend him, in fact we have already.

B. B.

Michael really does 'Make Mortgages Easy'. More than that he has helped us through an incredibly stressful and complex house build period (Don't build in a pandemic if you can avoid!). He is incredibly professional, extremely responsive, and always has your best interests at heart. We have recommended Michael to numerous friends and family members who have all had similar experiences. If we ever needed financing again we'd go straight to Michael.

J. A.

Outstanding responsive service. Michael definitely "makes Mortgages easy" Right from the start he listened to what we wanted, asked questions to ensure his understanding. From then on he was super responsive taking phone calls in the evenings and on weekends through the pre-approval process and then throughout the multiple offers before we were successful, nothing was to much trouble. Michael was at pains to carefully walk us through the process one step at a time helping keep stress levels down. He lived and breathed the journey with us.

A. C.

Was trying to buy my first home for a year and a half, Michael was amazing the entire time. Keeping my pre approval up to date and working hard to make sure I had finance secured as fast as possible each time I put in an offer. His advice was always helpful and his experience was invaluable in helping during stressful situations. He was a huge help and the fact that finance had been fully approved in advance was a major factor in my offer being accepted on the place I got.

S.

Micheal was awesome and straight up with us from start to finish. His honestly and clarity were super helpful in navigating this very stressful process. We would work with him again and recommend him to others

L. P.

Not sure how we'd have managed the whole process without Michael's support. He was quite responsive to all our queries any time of the day or week and gave us insights, assurance and advice with our interest at heart. He did all the hard-work for us dealing with the banks and getting us the best deals from them. We cannot thank Michael enough for all his support and highly recommend him. - Lydia/Arvind.

K. M.

Amazing mortgage broker - communication is key when dealing with banks and Michael keeps you in the loop thoughout the process. Would highly recommend Michael! He is our 3rd broker and by far the best we have experienced..Kaleb

E.

Both myself and my partner were first home buyers and our experience with Michael was nothing short of spectacular. The reality is if we didn't reach out to Michael we would not have been able to enjoy Christmas in our new home. We could not recommend anyone else better to have in your corner when navigating the property market. Michael's expertise throughout the whole process was faultless but what impressed us the most was how genuine he is, he's truly a stand up guy. Michael gave us the perfect advice at the right times and truly bent over backwards to help us. Michael was an absolute pleasure to work with.

P.

Below is a list of things I struggled with or was unsure of or wasn't made clear of when getting a Loan threw Micheal..... 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Regards Paul Why are you still reading this? If your after a Loan message or ring him already!!!! Trust me, the only thing you'll regret is that you didnt do it sooner, cuz I know I did

C. M.

We've just bought our first home in Wellington and we cannot emphasize the amount of help Michael was, not only towards that purchase but for every offer we put in before hand. Michael is extremely knowledgeable, calm and committed. He is very responsive to emails and calls and will get whatever work you need done right away. I would highly recommend Michael to anyone trying to find a good broker in and around Welly.

J. T.

As a first time house buyer, I already gave up even before I started! Michael was introduced to me and in less than five minutes, he was able to explain to me the ins and outs of purchasing a house... explanation that I understand! He made things easy for me and no sugar coating and false hopes. Michael is honest and direct in dealing with my queries. He made sure that he delivers on the time he promised! Thank you Michael for helping me to buy my first home! You are truly a superstar! Definitely highly recommended!!!

P. L.

Michael helped us buy our first home in Auckland in a market dominated by auctions. He helped us get unconditional approvals from the banks for bidding on a tight timeline. He was always very responsive to our emails and kept us up to date on what was happening throughout the process. Thanks Michael so much for helping us get there finally! Highly recommended.

J. M.

Michael was the best! If it wasn't for him me and my partner wouldn't have just bought our first home. He did so much of the hard work and heavy lifting for us, was always available whenever we needed his help, full of amazing advice and knowledge, always professional and all round nice guy. So glad we used his services because with how tough it is out there at the moment he made the whole process feel less stressful and a lot smoother. We highly recommend Michael and his services A++++++

N. B.

First home buyers (and probably everyone else): Michael is the man you want on your team. Working with him was the best decision we made in our journey to become first home buyers. We entered the housing market as first home buyers at the time it has probably never been harder to be a first home buyer in New Zealand history. Michael gladly accepted the challenge and worked with us each and every step of the way. We knew nothing about the process, and he unpacked it all for us and answered many a dumb question without a hint of condescension. Michael worked with us through (unfortunately) several failed attempts until we finally landed on a winner. He introduced us to a community of professionals (solicitors, valuators, accountants etc) we needed to make it all happen. We'll no doubt be continuing to work with him in the future. Thanks Michael for everything!

T. M.

Great mortgage broker, sorted everything within a very tight time frame. Made the process of buying my first home a smooth, stress free experience. Would definitely recommend him!

M. R.

Absolutely stellar service and advice. Michael has been extremely helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process of us getting our first home loan in New Zealand. As our applications were done during xmas break we were worried about delays and missing our offer conditions deadline. Michael moved heaven and earth for us and we got all sorted with even 1 day of a breather. On top of his superb professionalism he is great guy with good sense of humor which helps massively in times of stress and (what felt like) endless waiting for banks decision. 100% recommend and we will be back next year :) Thank you so much Michael! You got us our dream home!

K. S.

Michael made the mortgage process much simpler with his knowledge, recommendations and superb communication. He made us feel like nothing was a problem, even the big change of looking for property in Wellington to purchasing in Christchurch!

R. K.

Michael is exactly the sort of person you want advocating for you. He helped us right from the very start when we were just starting to wonder about whether we could buy a house, giving clear advice and assistance about how to get started. He then worked with us all the way through from getting pre-approval, looking at places, and eventually locking in a mortgage on our first home. Michael was always efficient, responsive and really demystified the process. And got us a brilliant deal! Highly recommend.

K. S.

Michael is by far the most responsive and straightforward person whose professional services I've ever engaged. Would highly recommend him to anybody, especially if you need something to get over the line in record speed. Thanks for getting me into my first home Michael

S. M.

Michael has made the purchasing of my first house incredibly smooth and structured. Excellent communication skills, provides brilliant insight into the market and made the whole process easy to understand. Michael got me great home loan terms, would 150% recommend Michael to anyone in the market looking for a home loan. Thanks a lot Michael

G. M.

Navigating buying a property is a tricky thing (especially in the current environment). I am so thankful that I had a professional like Michael guide me through. Admittedly I went into this thinking I’ve bought a house before (many years ago), I know what I’m doing. Michael’s experience and knowledge of the market and process really kicked in here. He brings current knowledge and has his finger right on the pulse of what’s happening. My knowledge was old, his is in real time as he lives and breathes this stuff on a daily basis. Yes he got me finance and a great deal with the bank, I expected that. What I didn’t expect was the great advice, the motivation he provided to keep looking in a tough environment and the sweat he put in to getting things done with the banks to achieve my time frames. I can’t thank Michael enough for partnering with me to get a roof over the kids and my head. I also can’t recommend him highly enough, you have to experience it yourself. If you are buying or refinancing you need this guy with you!!

A. P.

Simply amazing! Michael from the start took care of us and got us a better deal then we could have ever hoped. Michael puts his clients first, was very responsive and helpful. We know to always go to Michael in the future.

M. M.

Michael helped us to buy our first home. He went out of his way in achieving the right amount we needed for our dream home. He was always there giving advice no matter the time and day. We highly recommend to go through Michael when buying a house. 10 out of 10 Molly and Rodwell

J. L.

I definitely highly rate Michael for all things mortgage and financial. I was looking for a new house, having recently sold mine, and needed to do some negotiating with the bank. He worked tirelessly to actually secure two mortgage offers from competing banks and kept me informed of what he was doing at every step of the way. His communication was great, and he was always happy to explain various steps or terminology. Michael helped me work through all of the documentation, and was very understanding of my concerns and issues regarding the entire process. He’s very personable, and easy to work with. i wouldn’t hesitate in giving him more than 5 stars - he simplified the whole process for me, and made purchasing the house such a breeze. Thanks Michael!!

L.

We cannot recommend Michael highly enough. We were second time round buyers and were able to use our Kiwisaver to help us into our first home together. He helped us to understand our financial position to get a better outcome with the banks. We were able to get a better mortgage offer after 5 months which enabled us to buy in the high market. Michael also was very good at getting back to us quickly with answers to questions we sometimes had asked before. Great patience and we will use Michael again when our fixed term ends.

K.

We had the pleasure of working with Michael on a investment property purchase recently. Michael offers a first class service, he is professional, an expert in his field and very responsive in all communications via email or phone at anytime . Our experience is that Michael wants the very best outcome for his clients, he explained in detail all aspects of the transaction. We have no hesitation in recommending Michael - Thank you so much Michael.

s. g.

Michael helped me to buy my first home. He is very friendly and always proved that he will go above and beyond to deliver more than I expected. If anyone wants a smooth mortgage experience and a broker who provides care and advice in every step of this process then go no further, Michael is the man. I would like to thank Michael for all the help and care he provided.

G.

From our first-time meeting Michael has gone above and beyond – in every aspect! There were bumps in the road for Calib and I, but Michael was able to assist us securing in our first home together. We both know that some of the assistance that Michael provided was not in his job description but that just goes to show how he excels in the service he provides. The cherry on the top is that Michael would always check in with us and I don’t think he understands how much that helped with our own motivation to persist at securing our first home. He Answered every question. Even the stupid ones. He’s honest and gets back to you in the blink of an eye. We through some obstacles at Michael but he was able to secure us the best deal and take us past the finishing line. A big thank you again from us Michael – I have passed on your details to all friends and family looking for property and will continue to do so.

V. K.

We highly recommend Michael as he was very helpful and understanding. Michael was willing to talk to us during weekend and responded to our concerns and messaged us late evening. We had to drop our application halfway through because of some changes in our family and Michael was very understanding. We are happy to get the service of a friendly professional in Michael. We 100% recommend Michael..! Thank you Michael for being good to us. We will contact you in future took..!

A. S.

I came to Michael with a really short timeline and a lot of unknowns and he was fantastic. He was fast, always getting back to me quickly. Helped me make sense of the decisions I was making. And he got me the mortgage I wanted in super quick time. Totally recommend!

J. &. D. M.

Recently we had the pleasure of working with Michael on a property purchase we were making. Michael offers a first class service, he is professional, an expert in his field and very responsive in all communications. Our experience is that Michael wants the very best outcome for his clients, he explained in detail all aspects of the transaction. We have no hesitation in recommending Michael - Thank you so much Michael.

N.

We cannot recommend Michael highly enough! We first met Michael at a property viewing where he had been invited along by the agent. We never went forward with an offer on that property but decided to hold onto his details since he came across as such a friendly and genuine person. We were so glad we did, during our house hunting saga Michael helped us out multiple times. Not only did he get us the pre-approval we required to put offers in but he was also there to help advise on on the process and reassure us not to give up when we didn’t have our offers accepted. Michael was very fast and efficient dealing with us, he was professional, punctual and never once gave up on us despite the number of times that we returned with a new property in mind. When we eventually got an offer accepted Michael guided us through the entire process, as first time buyers this was extremely valuable to us, and found us some fantastic rates for our mortgage. Thank you Michael and we look forward to dealing with you again in the future! :-)

W. S.

Michael was superb in supporting us getting into our home, from start to finish. He will be your biggest cheerleader and will is full of sage advice that he's willing to provide at the drop of a hat. This is a guy you want on your team. Thanks again Michael.

K.

We found Michael a fantastic Mortgage Adviser. He helped us get pre-approval from the Bank and helped us along the process to get us our first home, dealing with the Bank all the way to make it easy and stress free for us. Then, he got us a great interest rate from the Bank. We highly recommend Michael.

K. H.

Michael is amazing! We will recommend him to anyone who will listen and he will be our first point of contact if/when we go through this process again. No question was ever too big or too small. He always took the time to ensure we understood the process and when we had deadlines to meet he would always follow-up to see how we went, he was always in our corner. Extremely knowledgeable, approachable and just a great guy to go through this process with. Thank you so much Michael, we really appreciate all the hard work you did for us to help us get into our first beautiful home together, couldn’t have done it without you.

M. N.

I met Michael very randomly during an open home visit, and from that moment I found him very supportive and professional. He tried his best to make the loan process going smoothly and we were very happy about his service from the very beginning of loan pre-approval until the end of the process (settlement day). I highly recommend Michael as an honest and professional mortgage broker!

r.

Michael dealt with my client's mortgage requirements very professionally and efficiently within a very tight timeframe. Nothing was too much trouble and I would highly recommend him to others (and have already done so). Robyn Karam

F. C.

Michael helped my wife and I into our first home. Originally we thought we could manage the mortgage process on our own and set about engaging with all the banks, societies, cooperatives - the whole works. 10 institutions later and we were pretty overwhelmed. We reached out to Michael and the first thing he did was set up a meeting to talk about who we were, where we were at in our lives, and what we were looking for. He provided really helpful advice on the buying and mortgaging processes as well as his own personal insights on building a house. Michael was great at keeping in touch with us and we always felt like he was genuinely working hard to ensure we not only got the best deal for our mortgage, but that the whole process was as simple and stress-free as possible. We are now thinking about looking for a second property and Michael will absolutely be our first port of call!

P.

Michael explained the process clearly to us and was able to secure us preapproval and our final morgage. Despite needing to negotiate our final purchase with the bank, which was not straight forward. Michael was able to secure our morgage at great rates.... totally recommend

G. D.

Update 14 November 2020: About a month ago my wife and I moved into our new home in the South Island. Prior to this we had been working with Michael to get a good deal on a second mortgage to enable us to buy our second home. Michael was able to negotiate a deal with the bank that was outstanding. Kudos to Michael for all his hard work and help. I've said it before and I will say it again - you won't find a better mortgage broker than Michael. **************************************************** We asked Michael to look at what he could do for us to get an extension on our mortgage to cover the last part of our house renovation. Michael was great and managed to get us a deal that even I didn't think was possible. He worked directly with the bank on our behalf and the amount of effort required on our part was very minimal. I highly recommend Michael to anybody else who is looking for a mortgage or mortgage top up. Thanks again Michael. Regards Gavin and Tangey Donovan

T. H.

We sold and bought a new house and Michael helped us change mortgage providers. We are so grateful for his help and we know we got the best deal available. Michael is honest, reliable, true to his word and always readily available to answer questions or share his wealth of knowledge. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to family and friends looking to get a mortgage!

A. G.

Michael has been a pleasure to work with. He has guided us every step of the way as we bought our first home, he has made sure we understood every step and worked hard to get us the best results. It is easy to see that he cares about his clients.

C. S.

I've experienced exceptional mortgage services from Michael with our NZ First Home. Superb! Keep it up Michael!

Michael has been so helpful and supportive throughout my very long and drawn out buying experience. He's offered great support and recommendations along the way and made the mortgage process painless. Would highly recommend him.

T. B.

Michael was very friendly and professional when helping me to get the pre-approval and finance for my first home. The process was smooth and Michael is always quick to respond and always kept me up to date with what was going on and responded to any questions that I had. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend Michael.

L. W.

As far as I am concerned Michael is the best! I have used Michael personally and also referred him to clients. In all cases, he has treated us all very well and has been able to get us amazing rates and terms with the banks. It is a no brainer to use Michael rather than go directly to a bank. He has the relationships with the right people at the banks and is also able to negotiate terms and rates on your behalf and the best bit..... it does not cost you anything! If you are thinking of buying a home, your first step needs to be with Michael the broker. He will be able to get things moving with the bank so you know what your buying budget can be.

D. K. R.

Michael was incredibly helpful in assisting us with an international funds transfer company recommendation and intro - he helped us get the best exchange rate when purchasing our NZ home from the US. If we're ever in need of a broker in NZ we'll certainly call Michael.

M. V.

Michael is a very professional broker, he is friendly, dedicated and with a contagious positive attitude. After we met him the first time, he followed up and guided us through the process of getting the mortgage we needed to achieve our goals. He made it really easy for us. He worked very hard and was enthusiastic about tackling every difficulty and in the end he didn't just make it all happen, he also got us a record low interest rate deal! We are so glad we found him... Thank you so much Michael!

L. R.

Michael has been fantastic in helping us with buying our first home. His mortgage advice has been brilliant and he has really helped us navigate through the process, as we had very little understanding of it all before we starting house hunting! Michael got us a great mortgage rate and has been available for advice and support at short notice throughout our journey. Thank you very much!!

L. T.

Thank you so much for your help with our mortgage lending Michael. Definitely easier than going directly to the bank. Michael explained things in an easy way and gave great advice. Very professional and quick to respond. Highly recommended.

B. M.

Michael provided great honest advice which was what we needed in this housing market. He won't send you down a path of false hopes, he was straight to the point with our mortgage options which was perfect

S. G.

Michael has been a fantastic mortgage broker and financial advisor, helping us out in a slightly tricky situation. His advice and information was forthcoming, communication was top notch and professionalism spot on. We will happily continue to use his services in all financial matters and would thoroughly recommend him to anyone. Six 🌟 if Google let me!

C. B.

I got my first home through Michael. I am planning to stick with him for future buying as well. He is very good and quick to respond. He got the best rate and cash back from the bank. Even he helped me to sort out my insurance deal. He is very informative and educate us with those information. Thanks Michael. Keep going with your good works.

H.

One of the best brokers around! So personable and always bends over backwards for his clients - thank you Michael for helping us with our mortgage!

H. M.

We highly recommend using Michael for his services. He was always super high comms, helpful, and really made us feel at ease during the process of buying our property. He also made things really easy for us. Will definitely recommend his services to others in the future. Thanks Michael!!

C. W.

Michael really made the process of redoing our mortgage rates super easy and painless. I am not a fan of paperwork and all things life admin but honestly he does it so quick and efficiently that it didn't feel like a chore. Plus he really looked after us and gave us the best deal possible. All round awesome guy and I will be recommending him to any of my friends and family that are in the same situation.

G. C.

Micheal was absolutely outstanding in helping us secure a home, which was a year long process, we could not have achieved it without his perseverance and diligence. Micheals communication with us was also outstanding. Helping us through some trying times always finding a solution with a positive, professional attitude. Highly recommend Micheal.

S.

Michael's handling of obtaining a mortgage for us was superb. After being turned down by our own bank he was able to go back and secure our new mortgage from that bank swiftly. He's like the action man of mortgage brokers. He's professional, thorough, a brilliant communicator/informative, honest, supportive throughout the whole process and a genuinely great person to have on your team during a demanding process. We thoroughly recommend Michael Anastasiadis as a mortgage broker/mentor. Thanks to Michael we are off to live the dream in our new home.

R. B.

Michael made the process of applying for our first home loan easy to understand and much less intimidating. He explained each step without being patronising so we understood exactly what we needed to do when. He was always happy to answer questions, no matter what time of the day, even taking time out of his Friday night to call and explain the bank's loan offer. We had a tight deadline for obtaining a loan offer and Michael persistently chased the bank to make sure we got it on time. He helped us get a good offer from the bank which we couldn't have managed by ourselves with only a 10% deposit. I would highly recommend his services to anyone buying a house, particularly first home buyers. He helped relieve stress at a very stressful time and we're very grateful for all his hard work.

S. T.

This was our first mortgage in New Zealand. Micheal made the whole process super easy and got us the best deal. On top of that he went above and beyond in terms of giving us most valuable advice in dealing with all other parties involved. Micheal we'd like to thank you very much for your hard work and advice and are looking forward to working with you again when we need or next mortgage negotiated.

S. B.

Michael was great as a broker for our first home. He was fantastic at explaining how the process worked to us and guiding us through all the steps. He was easy to contact and responsive to any question I had (which is more than I can say about my bank at the time...). Thanks a lot Michael.

G.

I found Michael very professional , he was an absolute pleasure to deal with through the whole process , he kept us informed every step of the way, nothing was ever an issue for him. Michael helped us get the funds we required for my business and for home renovations , and get us the best possible interest rates Highly recommend Michael to any person looking for a mortgage broker

E. C.

Michael is fantastic! Makes the buying process so much easier! From the very first meeting he was happy to help out and give us as much information as required. Over the months of saving, he kept in touch to see how we were going. From all the documents, to pre-approval, to going unconditional he was there every step of the way. Thank you so much for making our dream a reality!

N. B.

Michael was super easy to deal with. I had approached him with a bunch of jumbled info trying to by our first home from my parents. Michael made complete sense of what i was trying to say and made the whole process very easy. And now we have been home owners for a full month thanks to his expertise. I cant thank Michael enough for his help securing our mortgage And i will always recommend Michael to anyone who needs help getting a mortgage.

J. G. C.

Mike was such a great help! He made the daunting first home buying experience such a breeze. He gave great advice and constant support during the journey. 11/10

A.

I highly recommend Michael. He must be the most hard working broker around and he has his finger on the pulse at all times, which he shares by regularly posting informative and concise updates on the housing market online. Our complicated situation didn’t phase him and he worked hard to get us across the line, which wasn’t easy during covid-19 lockdown and resulting uncertainty. Also the online application tool provided was a pleasure to use. Michael, I can’t thank you enough for your efforts, guidance and support! You’re a legend. April

G.

Superb service! Michael is fenomenal, his communication, availability, speed and knowledge are impeccable. He will make the bureaucratic and convoluted process of buying a house a walk in a park. He got us the best rates available on the market and some additional bonuses!. I would definitely recommend him!

S. S.

Michael's true rating is 6 out of 5 stars. He is simply the Superman of getting you a mortgage or a topup on your mortgage. Michael helped us with our original mortgage and now a loan topup. His help in getting the funds in time means I can support my family through the Covid crisis in India. I cannot recommend him enough.

D. S.

The whole process was smooth with help from Michael, pre-approval, communicating with bank, going unconditional, deposit payment, etc. Thank you again for all the support and help in the whole 2018, Michael!

G. L.

Being first homes buyers we knew next to nothing about buying a home. Michael not only secured us our first little (dream) home, but educated us throughout the whole process. He listened and answered all our silly questions (that might have been asked more than once) and did not ever make us feel stupid. He was completely patient, honest, and never sugar coated anything or gave us incorrect information, he gave his honest opinion and was there from the day we had our first conversation. We were able to contact him at any time and had complete trust and reasurance that he knew exactly what he was doing. He made the whole process seamless. I cannot recommend him enough!! When ever I talk to anybody who is looking at buying a property, the first thing I ask is 'have you got a broker?'.

R. B.

Would definitely recommend Michael, he was incredibly proactive and professional. It was a relief knowing he was there to help support us through the home buying process.
