Reviews of Squirrel (formerly The Home Loan Shop)
C. E.Working through the sale of one house and private purchase of another simultaneously was a process which Sloan helped us through seamlessly. Sloan took all the hassle out of our hands and made it super easy. We were stoked, and have recommended Sloan to others as he’s professional, reliable and personable.
C.Jordan was an amazing support with helping us through the process of buying our first home.
As we faced a difficult period with the recent CCCFA lending rule changes we had a somewhat more extended period prior to being able to buy our home, however Jordan assisted us all the way through with prompt responses, valued insights, and consistent updates with how we were progressing.
Jordan and The Home Loan Shop made our house buying journey an exciting and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend them to both first time buyers and investors who are seeking support with buying properties - 5 Stars.
P. B.I couldn’t have been happier with my experience with The Home Loan Shop. Sloane and the team were great. Super friendly, easy going, knowledgeable, and professional. Simply, a pleasure to deal with. Thank you so much!
A.5 stars!
Jordan was recommended by a friend and we couldn't have been happier with the level of service and support he provided as we transitioned to a new bank, separated out 2 shared mortgages whilst working through a subdivision for 2 new titles for the separate mortgages. From the outset it seemed a pretty daunting task but Jordan made this a very easy and enjoyable experience! We couldn't have asked for a better Mortgage Broker. Recommend to all!
M. B.3.5-4/5 - Steven was a great mortgage advisor with lots of knowledge but given the property market (at the time we purchased) there was lots of demand and clients for the home loan, so our mortgage broker wasn't able to give us as much attention and coaching as we needed. The problem was more to do with coaching and getting undivided attention rather than our broker being bad (he was good and knowledgeable). We needed to be coached through the process and have our hand held through every detail. If things weren't as cray we probably would've had a better experience
S.We got recommended by a friend to seek out advice from the Home Loan Shop, specifically Sloan McPhee. and the support and professionalism through out the entire process of find our home and working with the banks and lawyers was made so easy. I don't think we could of managed without them.
Thank you so much.
S. R.Can’t recommend Nelson enough. He was excellent in helping us find a home loan that worked for us for our first home. He’s very friendly, patient and professional. We really appreciated his time and efforts in guiding us through the whole process.
K. P.We had such amazing service from Sloan at the Home Loan Shop. He answered all of our questions quickly and explained the process really clearly, so that we were able to act quickly to get the property we wanted. He made sure the purchase went smoothly from start to finish - despite lockdown complications! I couldn't recommend him and the team more highly!
L. H.Sloan is always a pleasure to deal with. Purchasing a property can be a stressful and daunting process but Sloan and his team make it a breeze. Always professional and available to respond to any questions. I would definitely recommend working with the Home Loan Shop :)
A. S.Steven Hogg has been super helpful in our journey to (finally) purchase a home. He is very professional and extremely experienced. We particularly appreciate his patience as we missed out on a few options throughout the year before we finally got something. There were uncertainties at times (e.g. intense market competitions, then followed by lending restrictions etc.). But Steven was always there to support us and help us to deal with those changes, by giving timely and honest advice. We'd strongly recommend Steven and his team!
G. H.Sloan and Xavier were incredibly helpful and patient throughout our entire mortgage process. After finally finding our first home, they exceeding expectation by coaching us through dealings with lawyers and agents and made the settlement process very simple! Sloan was transparent throughout and his helpful tips and tricks were absolute life savers.
J. M.Sloan is informative, straight up and easy to work with. He got us a great result with no fuss or hassles. Matt also helped with insurance. Highly recommend the HomeLoanShop team!
E.Sloan and Xavier were essential when we decided to become first home owners. They were extremely professional and super fast. I really have nothing to complain about The Home Loan Shop. Our lawyer also liked working with them as they knew what they were doing.
Already recommended them for a few friends 🥇
M.The team gave invaluable guidance along the whole journey of purchasing our property, not just related to the loan structure specifically, but also more general advice that made a huge difference for us. Always responsive and great communicators. Would go with them again.
V. P.I have nothing but 100% satisfaction and praise for Sloan and Xavier. They went above and beyond to support me through a tricky house buying process. The service given was friendly, personal and professional. I felt safe sharing my confidential personal financial information with them, and they took all the hassle and stress out of getting a Home Loan from the bank. The interest rates that they managed to get were excellent too. I wouldn't hesitate to use The Home Loan Shop again, and I believe it is a much quicker easier process that having to deal with the major banks personally. Thanks Sloan! :)
I. M.Nelson was extremely patient with us.
Being a first home buyer can be overwhelming and frustrating in so many ways, but I’m glad we had him to help us out and answer all of our questions (sometimes more than once haha) and put the effort to assist us in getting the best offer we could get.
I already recommended him to a few of my friends, and I’m sure they will have a great experience as we had.
Thank you kindly,
Isabela and Gui
R. N.Nelson was an incredible help. Ours was a reasonably complicated lending situation but Nelson managed the process flawlessly. He secured the lending and removed a considerable amount of stress. Nelson is very personable and we could not recommend him or the Home Loan Shop highly enough.
T.They are professional especially Sloan and Xavier were very prompt. They were very patient as we had to wait for some time until we find the right property due to the market changing rapidly. Highly recommend their services.
T. G.When a friend recommended me to go to the Home Loan Shop in about 2005, I was initially sceptical. Why would you engage a mortgage broker when you could go to the bank direct? How wrong I was. We have engaged the Home Loan Shop ever since then in relation to our mortgage needs. They have always been extremely responsive, efficient and provided a fantastic service. Just in the past few weeks we have had some urgent matters to sort out, and Oliver Keogh has been exceptionally responsive, proactive and helpful. He's gone the extra mile, and it has made a real difference to us. Worth their weight in gold.
L. H.My partner and I worked with Nelson Ford when we started to look to buy our first home. Nelson made the process easy, he was able to clearly explain the process in manageable steps, he was always contactable and responsive when required. We both thoroughly enjoyed working with Nelson and would highly recommend him to others.
B.Sloan and the team were fantastic to deal with. They gave great advice, answered all my questions, kept me informed about everything that was going on and gave me good steps to follow. I had a million questions for them and they helped me through every step of the way. I would definitely recommend dealing with The Home Loan Shop. Great service.
K. D.Nelson was absolutely primo to work with. From the moment we first made contact all the way up to settlement he was responsive to all our emails and questions.
Buying your first home in the Wellington market isn't easy, and having someone like Nelson on your side through it all really helped make the whole process easier.
10/10 would recommend.
L.We've used Sloan before and wouldn't hesitate to him use again. Extremely knowledgeable, efficient and best of us gets the best rates! Highly recommend!
S.Jordan Mitchell was a super star during our first home buying process. He guided us every step of the way and was patiently answering many questions and calming the nerves.
We had a long journey. We received a pre-approval in October 2020, bought a turnkey townhouse in December 2020 and waited 15 months for the house to be built, to settle and move in. Jordan was there during the whole process - organising pre-approval rollovers and new pre-approvals when they expired. The best thing he's done for us was in June 2021 when he organised a 12-month pre-approval, which meant that we were not subjected to the CCCFA lending rule changes before the settlement.
And when we finally got the settlement date, Jordan made sure that everything went smoothly, organised the valuation, liaised with the bank and calmed us along the way.
We cannot recommend him highly enough. His advice and guidance was invaluable. We are extremely grateful for everything he's done for us.
T.Absolutely recommend the team at the Homeloan Shop. Steven helped us arrange all of our banking needs through the sale of our property and the purchase of another. Quick to respond at any time and goes the extra mile
P.Nick did a fantastic job of guiding us through the process of applying for finance for a subdivision project, taking all the stress out of the process. Highly recommended 5 stars.
J. B.Nelson and Matt from The Home Loan Shop Wellington provided us with invaluable knowledge and guidance throughout the home buying process which enabled us to successfully purchase our first home. They were very professional and patient given our lack of experience and very responsive to our enquiries. We’d be happy to recommend them and The Home Loan Shop for anyone looking to buy their first home.
A.Steven Hogg was a huge help in getting our loan approved. Always would follow up and would be there to support if we had any questions 😄 Thoroughly recommend Steven and the home loan shop team.
R.If you are looking for a mortgage broker who you can trust to take you through a house purchase in an expert, supportive and respectful manner then we very highly recommend Steve Hogg. We were first home buyers of a prolonged complex private sale and Steve was our reliable guide all the way. Rachel and Tom
a.Great service from Sloan and the team at Home Loan Shop, they made the whole process so easy and got us an amazing deal. Cannot recommend them highly enough!
D.Thank you Steven , Emma and team for your guidance and excellent work settling our mortgage, these guys were efficient, professional and made the process so easy! Would definitely recommend the home loans shop
J.Outstanding service and attention to detail from Nick Virtue at The Home Loan Shop.
Nick helped guide us through what, at times, could have been a very challenging process.
I would highly recommend Nick for anyone looking for help with their home loan.
V. T.Sloan was fantastic to work with. His professional communication, helpful advice and quick replies made us feel confident throughout the entire home buying process. We can’t recommend him and the team at the Home Loan Shop highly enough!
a. l.Sloan and the team from The Home Loan Shop were very easy to deal with, communicated really well and very responsive with any questions or concerns that we had. We have brought our first home and we could not have done it without the help Sloan and his team.
Highly recommend them to any potential home buyers!
J. O.Our experience at The Home Loan Shop and in particular dealing with Sloan and his team was outstanding. They took the financing stress away from us with real professionalism and great communication. We will be recommending them to our family and friends.
K. M.Sloane at The Home Loan Shop was absolutely brilliant. Clear, concise and seamless information always communicated in a very timely manner. The reminder emails kept us on track with a lot of things to organise from mortgage to settlement. Outstanding and professional service! Would recommend to everyone wanting a professional friendly service. A+++
K. M.Great service from the team at the Home Loan Shop, Steven was a pleasure to work with. He was very knowledgeable and gave us all the information we needed as were first home buyers, Steven made us felt comfortable to ask any questions we had and made the process very smooth with no delays or dramas.
J. B.My partner and I had seen 3 other mortgage brokers previously, they all made it sound so complicated and hard. A friend suggested we go talk to Nelson and we're so happy we did. Nelson made everything easy and stress free and walked us through the entire process while answering any questions we had along the way. Thanks for all your help Nelson!
J.It's took us a long long time to find our home and Sloan at The Home Loan Shop helped us out countless times as we made offer after offer. When it came time to finalize our loan Sloan spent the time to explain all the details and make sure the mortgage worked for us. Excellent service.
E.We went through the Home Loan shop through the recommendation of a colleague. It was a fantastic decision as Steven Hogg was thoroughly professional throughout the process. He worked quickly to ensure we could put an offer in on a property that we ended up securing. For anyone looking to use a mortgage broker I highly recommend going through the Home Loan Shop and Steven Hogg.
W. B.From the start we found Nick helpful and friendly.
I’d used brokers before, but Nick went beyond the typical and really added value through his insights, contacts and was able to help guide us to success.
Nothing was too much bother, even with our many questions and various scenarios.
Always prompt, thorough and thoughtful, Nick espouses the best one can expect in customer service and made our purchase as stress free as possible.
Taking all the hard work out of dealings with financiers, putting us in touch with related professionals, and ensuring nothing was missed, I have a great deal of faith in Nick’s ability.
I, and my sister who was joint purchaser, highly recommend Nick to family, friends, and everyone. You’re not just a number with Nick, you’re a valued and respected client!
Great job Nick! Surely Wellington’s number 1 broker.
Thank you
E. K.Highly recommend working with Home Loan Shop. Nelson Ford helped us secure a mortgage under some pretty tricky circumstances, and we couldn't be more thankful for his help and guidance. His knowledge of the market and lending really helped us understand the process and set our expectations. Really helpful if you are buying your first home! Thank you Nelson and the Home Loan Shop!
S. A.We worked with Steve at the home loan shop with tight timeframes to purchase our dream holiday house. He was very helpful and kept us in the loop on each step of the way with the progress of our application. It was an absolute breeze for us to go through the process as we had Steve's help all the way to the end. He was also happy to extend advice on things we were unsure about. We would highly recommend Steve and the home loan shop for your next home purchase.
Y. L.Nelson has been very helpful in assisting us to purchase our first home. Not only has Nelson assisted us with getting finance approved but he has also walked us through the entire purchasing process.
We have found Nelson to be very personable and willing to go the extra mile. Thank you Nelson for your all help it is greatly appreciated. We highly recommend Nelson to anyone who may be looking to buy a house. Simple Fast Approved.
M.The Home Loan Shop is the best place to get a home mortgage, and the difference is in their professionalism.
We have been working with Oliver Keogh who sets the bar incredibly high for everyone working in the industry. He crunches the numbers to get you the best deal, obtains bank approvals fast, stays on top of issues, and processes paperwork seamlessly.
I highly recommend Oliver to anyone wanting to buy a property.
S. S.Sloan at the Home Loan Shop did a fantastic job throughout the whole processes of buying my house. From getting prompt pre-approval on a large number of properties, to checking in regularly in the lead up to settlement to ensure everything was on track, Sloan was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I can thoroughly recommend him for all your mortgage needs!
C.I was completely mystified about how to arrange a home loan, but Steven did a great job of laying out the process clearly and describing the various options in detail (one of which I eventually went with) and helping me through the process. Definitely recommend!
M.My partner and I were recently helped by Oliver Keogh from The Home Loan Shop to secure lending for the purchase of our first home. Oli was incredibly helpful, responsive, and provided clarity throughout the entire process. He always went above and beyond, and explained everything in a way that we could easily understand. We'd highly recommend his services to anyone. Thanks again, Oli!
M.Sloan was wonderful to deal with. He took us through the process with ease, and was always quick to respond to any questions. 100% recommend
C. S.Steven Hogg from the Home Loan Shop worked with my partner and I to purchase our first home. Steven is knowledgeable, supportive and was prompt throughout the process. We are very grateful for his help and highly recommend his service!
J.The most awesome, positive and personal service we have ever received. With out Nelson's positive attitude and great communication with us we would have never bought our new house. Personally we can not speak more highly of him. Thank you so much.
A.Nelson…Nelson…Nelson all we can say when home loan comes to our mind. We were told not only by friends but immediate family too that home loan is a tiring and troublesome process. But the experience we have had through the home loan shop was a charm or should say walk in the park. Absolutely stoked on how easy it is to work with them and what great experience they give to their customers. I have already referred a few friends and will be referring heaps more to get your home loan sorted from the THE HOME LOAN SHOP. Thanks again Nelson. Bless you mate.
M.Our go to mortgage broker! So professional and down to earth, made the whole process easy to understand in a friendly and relaxed way. Highly recommend!
f. f.We have had the best experience with Nelson and the Home Loan Shop. No questions went unanswered and he was so available to us. Would recommend Nelson to anyone who is looking to buy their home. You can't go wrong with Nelson on your team...
Jackson, Tealo and Fiona.
M.A big heartfelt thank you to Nelson Ford who helped us navigate a challenging experience, in the middle of Level 4. Nelson your calm, knowledgeable manner and advice kept us sane. End result - amazing. I highly recommend Nelson for anyone needing mortgage advice and assistance.
R. R.Nelson from the Home Loan Shop was a real pleasure to work with. We were struggling to get the service levels we expect from our current bank, Nelson was very quick to provide some solid options to move forward. We are now with a bank that values our business and this is a big weight off our shoulders. Thanks Nelson and team, great to also know the relationship is ongoing and you are there for us if we ever have a similar situation in the future.
K. T.After “shopping” around we landed on Steven H at the Home Loan Shop. It can be difficult to figure out who to go with and that’s after deciding whether to fly solo or use a broker at all.
Glad we did... Steven is fast and responsive, informative and patient, thorough and insightful. His experience, knowledge and awareness of all the tricks and hooks makes a big difference.
I’ve already recommended him and the team at HLS but I can’t recommend them more highly. The end to end service, the thoroughness and client care throughout is fantastic. We also used Matt G to help with personal insurances, again a member of the team who knows his stuff and worked hard for what we needed.
Everyone says “oh, go see our guy”. Seriously, go see our guy.
A.I would give 10 star if I could. Thanks Nick for assisting us throughout our first home buying journey. We literally only met face to face once and the rest just online. He helped us to secure our pre-approval even though we are still on our resident visa and managed to get good rates offer from bank. Golden cookie for Nick!
A.We approached the home loan shop based on the good reviews online, and were not disappointed by the assistance Nelson provided us during our first home buying journey. Nelson is a great communicator, making the process clear and easy to follow, and he answered all our questions in timely and easy to understand fashion. He's a sensible and down to earth guy who knows his stuff and was able to sort out a home loan for us that suited out specific situation. Would definitely recommend!
D.Nick Virtue was super epic to work with! Gave us all the support we needed and took the time to answer all the newbie questions we had. Highly recommend.
M. W.Would highly recommend The Home Loan Shop to prospective first home buyers. Steven was a pleasure to deal with in purchasing my first home and he guided me through the whole process so smoothly. He was extremely responsive to any queries I had and sorted loan approvals with banks efficiently even when I was on a tight deadline. Thanks Steven and The Home Loan Shop!
E. B.The Home Loan Shop is just awesome. Nelson is an angel. I don’t know what my family would have done without the help of Nelson during our recent house purchase. His friendly, calm, and reassuring demeanor put our hearts to rest when the situation got though. Right from searching for the initial offer from banks, through to the settle process. Always smiling and encouraging us that it shall be well, and it did. His support and guidance made the journey not just possible but also easy, giving my family the chance to focus on our work and still getting through this complicated process of purchasing our first house in New Zealand. Highly recommend The Home Loan Shop for all home buyers.
I. H.Sloan really helped us out when buying our first home. In the end we opted to go for another bank (that Home Loan Shop weren't able to access at the time, but will be able to soon), but Sloan was fantastic throughout the process, and provided great advice on the right structure of the mortgage for us. He was easy to talk to and to contact, and we'd recommend him to others and use Sloan and Home Loan Shop in the future.
M. A.Nelson from the Home Loan Shop has been an awesome person to have on our team as we applied for our home loan. Great advice, professional and responsive - Nelson has made the process feel easy. We recommend Nelson and the Home Loan Shop if you’re looking for quality support and advice in relation to buying a property.
A.Sloan walked us through each step of the process thoroughly and patiently, and he was always available to answer questions, and responded to all emails/calls promptly. We trusted that he had our best interest as a priority, so that took a lot of the stress off our shoulders and we were able to enjoy the process.
N.Steven and his team has been amazing throughout the whole process, from the day we contacted him till they day we got they keys of our first home. Very supportive, proactive, kind, patient and clear with his guidance. Highly recommended!
R. H.Sloan and the team worked very hard to make sure we had an easy experience getting our first mortgage and negotiated with the bank to ensure our mortgage suited our needs. Sloan kept in touch and kept us updated throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend!
M.We have been dealing with The Home Loan Shop for a few years now on several loans (including our first home) and have always found the team extremely responsive and awesome to deal with. Their advice is always well informed, up to date, clear and easy to understand. Would not go anywhere else and will always recommend them to others looking to take on a mortgage!
E. T.We were so lucky to have Carley from The Home Loan Shop help us with buying our first home. She was incredibly helpful, responsive and supportive and we feel so lucky to have found her. We both had no clue about what to expect from the process but she was super informative and answered all of questions (there was a lot). We would highly recommend her to anybody looking for mortgage broker and we have passed her details on to many of our friends as we think she’s a gem!
A.Worked with Steven Hogg to buy our first home. He was so helpful and supported us through the process. Would recommend to anyone.
C. M.100% recommend getting in touch with the team at the Home Loan Shop! Sloan and Xavier made us feel like we had a whole team behind us as we navigated the trials and tribulations of buying our first home. They were professional and knowledgeable and also empathetic and supportive. We wouldn't have moved into our first home on the weekend with out their guidance. Cheers dudes!
S. C.We are first home buyers (dealing with Steven Hogg). We found him to be an absolute legend.
He explained every step of the process thoroughly, and was amazingly responsive from day 1. He managed to secure us multiple pre approvals with minimal effort from us, and stayed on top of when we were needing to get them updated.
No question was too small, and his guidance made us feel really comfortable with the process.
He was able to provide us with recommendations for Lawyers, Insurance Brokers, and pretty much anything else we needed, and everyone he sent us to has been great to deal with.
We are now in our new house (and loving it) and looking back, dealing with Steven was easily to smoothest and most enjoyable part of our home buying experience. As a result, I would recommend Steven and the entire Home Loan Shop team to anyone.
C. B.We made several offers on different houses - Sloan and his team worked with us all the way through until we were successful. The entire process was made easy and quick for us. We took advantage of Sloan's expert advice, great mortgage rates and the right lending amount. This allowed us to keep the exiting house as a rental property and purchase a new home that we love. Thank you for your help, hard work and an excellent service team! We appreciate it. CB
R.Steven was extremely helpful dealing with our refinance. Second time we have used The Home Loan shop, and it won’t be the last. Great connections which completed the process with tight timelines.
C. T.I am so pleased we went with The Home Loan Shop to assist us in buying our first home. Steven made the whole thing so much easier and it really took some of the stress off of what is an intense process. All the way throughout we felt supported and informed and definitely could not have done it without them. Cannot recommend them enough!
C. T.Steve and Emma from the Home Loan shop were great to deal with. Very responsive, hardworking and quality customer service. Highly recommended if anyone is looking for great mortgage brokers in Wellington!
J.Nick Virtue lives up to his name -- incredibly knowledgeable and responsive, generous with his time and expertise, and super nice. Can't recommend him enough.
R.The Home Loan Shop seemed like the easiest option when I was looking around to get a mortgage. I can't say whether I was just lucky or whether all the guys there are so great but Oliver Keogh who I was dealing with was amazing. Very proactive, always kept me in the loop so I knew where things were, always replied to my emails instantly and answered all my curious questions. Time pressure and tight deadlines were not a problem. This is the kind of service I would expect as a customer. Thanks for that.
J.My partner and I just bought our first home and were lucky enough to have Nelson as our mortgage broker.
As this was our first home, there were lots of things that you aren't told about before making the biggest financial decision of your life.
We had lots and lots of questions throughout the entire process and Nelson was always our first port of call to ask for guidance or advice. He really does know his stuff!
We viewed an open home at 9am and then by 1:30pm that same day, we were the owners of our first home. Had we not had Nelson as our broker, I doubt the same result would have been achieved.
Nelson is a cool, calm and collected guy who has expert knowledge on the home buying process and excellent contacts within the banks who he can negotiate best deal for his clients.
If you are looking at buying a home, I would ask for the man by name.
Thanks heaps mate!
N.Had a great experience with the Home Loan shop. Steven and Sloane were supportive, informative and total pros to deal with. Would recommend to anyone buying a home in NZ.
H. H.My partner and I recently engaged the services of the Home Loan Shop through the recommendation of a friend to purchase our first home. HLS, and Sloan specifically, made the whole process straightforward and very easy to understand. 10/10 across the board!
E.The home loan shop were a huge help in what was a very fluid and stressful situation - fast and clear communication. Nelson and the team were always happy to help even though I very well know that we will have been hard work, changing our minds every two minutes! Highly recommend.
J.We had an amazing experience with the selling of our house! Would highly recommend Nelson at The Home Loan Shop. Always on call for any queries or questions we had. With great advise and always had our best interest in mind.
Fantastic service!
k. c.I worked with Sloan and Xavier at the Home Loan shop for the 2+ years it took to finally buy my first home. All the way through the process they were really helpful, responsive, and professional - I couldn't have asked for better service! Saved so much time, stress and hassle by going through these guys. Highly recommended.
C. N.Nelson Ford
Recently, we’ve had the pleasure of meeting and working with Nelson. Over the past ten years, we’ve received excellent service and support from the Home Loan Shop and Nelson continues this outstanding service.
Nelson worked tirelessly to get everything in order with the bank for our home loan and this included a speed up at the end to bring forward lending with the new Government tax changes coming into force. This was completed within days and allowed us to meet this deadline.
We recommend Nelson wholeheartedly if you want top notch service and a competitive home loan and a nice guy to work with!
Chris and Alex Nyman.
V. O.Nick at the Home Loan Shop was amazing. We'd had a bad experience with another broker and were so grateful he took us on. Nick looked after us and kept up great communication throughout a really difficult climate of changing regulations. Absolutely stoked with our new home and fully recommend The Home Loan Shop, cheers mate!
C. F.We were first home buyers looking for a family home. Sloan was recommended and he didn’t disappoint. We were new to all of it and he was patient and positive with all our questions as we put in our first and subsequent offers. He communicated clearly at every step, and we were very happy with our deal. Would definitely recommend and look forward to working with Sloan again.
M.Steven Hogg is an excellent, knowledgeable and professional mortgage broker. He went above and beyond to help us achieve our goal of buying a house which seemed rather impossible in these trying times and the current housing market.
The entire process was pain-free and very smooth sailing. I would definitely recommend Steven’s exceptional services and The home loan shop to all my family and friends.
T. C.We worked with Nick to buy our first home and cannot recommend him enough! Nick we went above and beyond, several times, to get us into our first home, there would have been a lot of missed opportunities for us if it wasn't for his great work. He was professional, diligent, well researched and very quick to respond to changing factors setting up our mortgage, we would highly recommend him and The Home Loan Shop
R.Sloan and team at Home Loan shop were great helping us getting approvals in time and after our offer was accepted Sloan was with us all the way from finding a good repayment deal to the settlement day making sure everything is all right. Really recommended.
J.Oliver from The Home Loan Shop has been looking after us during the sale of our property and the purchase of another, his fast and efficient communication has kept us comfortable during this journey and his commitment making our goal come true is unrivaled. We will continue to work with Oliver on any future purchase and recommend him to all our friends and family.
A. O.Steven went above and beyond to ensure the process of buying our first home was as seamless as possible. He is professional, hardworking and full of knowledge. We felt supported every step of the way. Would recommend him and his team at the Home Loan Shop to anyone!
C.We have just finished using the Home Loan Shop for our mortgage and highly recommend not only their people but the service they provide.
Sloan and his team are very professional and cover everything you will need from start to finish. They are your "go to" for getting the best rates in the Market and then present options on how your loan can or could be structured in a thorough and easy to understand manner.
They are very pro active in helping to ensure you are where you need to be with the various different forms of documentation required to get things done and are very personable through the process in doing so.
We are very pleased to have used the Home Loan shop and will absolutely do that again when the time comes.
T. S.Amazing experience with Sloan, Xavier and the whole team! They were all very responsive, experienced and patient as we battled with the Wellington market. Always providing advice, sharing contacts and ready to make sure we got our dream home, which we did!
10/10 and will be the first call if we ever need another home
P. C.My partner and I were very impressed and appreciative with the service we received from the home loan shop and Steven. It was our first time applying for a mortage so it was new territory for us. But Steven made what would've been a complicated process easy. He was always happy to answer any questions we had and kept us updated with what stage of the application we were at. We couldn't have done it with him and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to apply for a mortgage.
R.Nelson was really helpful when we were applying for mortgages. He compared different banks’ offerings so we could choose the one the would work best for our situation.
When we ran into the inevitable hurdles in the finance process he represented us well and helped us to achieve a great outcome.
Nelson provided us with good advice throughout, we would have definitely struggled without his guidance.
M.Oliver has been my Mortgage Broker for 6 months and has assisted me with multiple transactions, all of which have been beyond easy! Oliver is professional and responsive which I have always appreciated. He will go above and beyond to get me the best deal from the bank and always puts my best interests first. I look forward working with him in the future and recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated mortgage broker that will treat you as a person and not just a number. Thank you Oliver
E. C.Sloan and the team at Home Loan Shop were fantastic in helping us find the best deal with the best setup. If was a maze of paper work and bureaucracy to get where we wanted to go but Sloan made it so easy and kept us informed through out the process. Feels good to have our stuff sorted optimally, and the Home Loan Shop were a big part of that. Cheers guys!!
A.The highest quality of advice and help one could ever wish for. Sloan's competence, professionalism, and friendliness really takes a lot of the stress out of buying a home. I rarely ever would recommend any service without any doubt. But The Home Loan Shop I have recommended to friends and colleagues 100% ever since I first worked with Sloan.
H.We worked with Steven Hogg here, who was very good at figuring out what we needed, and helping us towards buying our first home. He worked every angle to save us money on the setup fees, and knew all the right questions to ask. I would highly recommend him, and the Home Loan Shop in general.
R.Carley was amazing in helping me get my mortage. She was fantastically responsive, super professional, and really went above and beyond even when I asked for crazy-quick turn-arounds and kept changing my mind. I'm so glad I had her on hand to explain the process and get the outcome I wanted. I would recommend her in heartbeat.
M.We had the pleasure of working with Steven from the Home Loan shop- he is amazing. Very professional, organised and responsive. The amount of effort he put into us and our situation was outstanding and I cannot thank him enough. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is wanting/needing pre approval for a first home!
N.Oli was a serious life savor during the insane process of buying our first home in Wellington! We honestly don't think we would have survived without his level-headed support. He was always quick to respond and it felt like he was one step ahead of the process which made us feel like things were under control. We highly recommend Oli and the Home Loan Shop.
B.Oli has been amazing helping us with our recent purchase.
He took the time to understand our situation, answered all of our questions in a timely manner and helped us structure our loans in the most efficient way possible.
We would highly recommend Oli to anyone needing a home loan
S.I love the HLS- they are great to deal with- very considerate of my requirements, patient when things changed and responsive when I needed to move quickly to secure a house and a mortgage. I especially liked that they took my requirement to partner with a bank who doesn't invest in fossil fuels seriously and found me a great match.
J.Highly recommend Oliver, he was very helpful in securing our lending at a great rate. We have a slightly complex structure and Oliver was able to provide multiple options and advice on what would best suit our needs.
N.Oliver and The Home Loan Shop have been great. Oliver is very responsive and extremely positive in all communication. He has been very effective in getting results for us quickly and offering sound advice throughout. Highly recommended!
D.Nelson Ford was great to work with. Always friendly, very professional and quick to respond (even after hours!). He showed extensive knowledge of the housing market and banking services which made the whole process run smoothly and quickly. Highly recommended!
G. M.Sloan has helped us both as first time home buyers and our subsequent move to a new home. I would recommend him to anyone (and have) and can hand on heart say that if he wasn't involved in the process we would not have successfully purchased our home. He is always quick to respond to queries (we had a lot!) and provide advice and guidance to make the process less daunting.
L.Nick Virtue was an absolute hero getting us into our first home! Ever patient with our million questions and a total pleasure to deal with! Would highly recommend!
s.We have been working with the Home Loan Shop for over 2 years while we started our journey into trying to break into the housing market. I can absolutely 100% say we could not have done this process without Oli - Oli is amazing! He communicated with us so quickly, going above and beyond at all times, offering us advice on various parts of our new build process, always keeping on top of the situation and being our rock. Oli is very knowledgeable and clever, and was so invested in our journey that he was just as excited as we were for all of our milestones. I am so grateful for his help. A special shout out also goes to Mark who was there for the beginning of our journey who was the exactly the same - the whole team is fantastic.
r.The Home Loan Shop is more than just a mortgage brokerage firm, they guided me through the whole purchasing process, they gave me really helpful advises at other aspects of purchasing a house. Sloan and the team were awesome!
R.Jordan was wicked to deal with. Quick at responding and managed to get everything over the line for us. Will be going back to him next time for sure.
T. A.We worked with Sloan who was brilliant. He was very open and direct, giving us information up front and in a very clear and easy to understand way. Being first home buyers there was ALOT for us to learn and he helped us a lot, super responsive to our questions and supported us through nearly a year of making offers. Would thoroughly recommend.
C. T.I worked with Nelson from the Home Loan Shop and he went above and beyond to help us. He was very flexible with doing the whole process remotely over phone and email and spent a lot of time helping us out when the purchase process hit a few speedbumps.
N.Great communication and very responsive. Steven was personable and professional. Highly recommend.
A. B.We just bought our first home and Sloan and Nikki have been really helpful through the whole process. We were looking for around a year and a half and considered several houses, they were always there when we needed a new pre-approval or just had a question. They also gave us great advice and helped us when we needed. They're super quick and nice people too! We're really happy with their services.
G. F.We worked with Sloan at the Home Loan Shop and found him incredibly helpful at each stage of the process. We received very quick responses, clear instructions about pre-approval, searching for a home, and settlement, and great advice on structuring our mortgage. I would recommend the Home Loan Shop to any first home buyer!
S.Another great experience with Sloan and the team at the HLS. We received helpful, timely advice, in a way that was easy to understand and follow. Can’t recommend these guys enough to make buying a house a smooth process.
K.Thank you The Home Loan shop for making things smoother and helping me get my first house. Many thanks to Sloan and Nikki. Sloan was very responsive and kind. He was keeping in touch with me even during his holiday period. Kudos to the team!! 👍🏼
A.Nick Virtue at the home loan shop was an absolute legend to deal with-super fast replies and he was great at keeping my partner and I in the loop during the whole process. We appreciate his mahi so much and would absolutely recommend him to anyone else looking for a mortgage broker. 11/10 solid rooster of a dude.
J.Was recommended by a friend after going directly to the bank with disappointing results. The service Martin and Pippa provided from The Home Loan Shop was absolutely outstanding! By listening to my individual situation, they were able suggest some strategic steps to take that allowed me to borrow double what the bank would lend directly. I also received some great advice on some homes to steer well clear of and others to put a good offer in for. They made the process very easy and fun with a few short notice offers which they dealt with well.
So they are highly recommended and thanks for the amazing service Martin and Pippa.
The other bonuses are that you are dealing with the same people each time who get to know, so no call centres having to re-explain your story. And last, but not least, the great low interest rates they obtain!
E.Was recommended Martin through a work colleague and ultimately chose to work with Martin over another broker due to his friendliness and experience. Martin and Pippa were extremely responsive to our many questions as first home buyers, and ultimately when we needed to close the deal helped push the bank to get us over the line. Big thanks to them both!
H.Perfect for first home buyers. Talked us through each step of the way and made sure to check in on us during the process to make sure we were on track for a smooth settlement. Sloan was great to work with and always quick to reply when we had queries.
E.Jordan made what seemed like a daunting process so easy. He answered all our questions, gave great advice and walked us through everything - I'm writing this review from the couch in my new home! I would highly recommend Jordan & The Home Loan Shop.
J. B.Fantastic service and advice from The Home Loan Shop.
Sloan enabled us to secure the property we wanted.
He put in a tonne of work as our and the vendors situation changed. I know he had to put in at least 4 applications to the bank, something my wife and I could not manage with us both working and having a young baby at home.
At one point we were approached by another aggressive mortgage broker recommended to us by an estate agent who said he could secure our purchase for a fee of $2,000!!
I went back to Sloan and he was already doing what this other broker had suggested- Sloan even offered to call this broker on our behalf to set him straight.
Fantastic to deal with- Sloan was always informative, kept us updated and ensured we did what we needed to do to make the purchase.
Just awesome!
P.Oliver was wonderful... he took all the hassles out of the entire process and provided service that my own bank who I'd been banking with for 25 years was unable to do. I highly recommend Oliver and the Home Loan Shop team!!
J.The best experience we could have wished for. Nelson was attentive to us and got us across the line very quickly.. We went from thinking a home was in the very distant future to something secured in less than two weeks for us. Would 100% recommend!
C. S.I would definitely recommend Sloan at Home Loan Shop! My partner and I were first home buyers and thought buying are first home was impossible but Sloan helped make it happen. If you are wanting a supportive, responsive and professional service I would highly recommend Sloan and his team.
B.It took a long time working through our refinance for our renovation. Steven was so patient and really helpful throughout the process. We got what we needed in the end with Steven’s help.
We would absolutely recommend him to any of our friends or family.
A.We have just moved into our home which was a new build. We did a section purchase and then construction loan for the build. The advice and support we received from Sloan and the team of Home Loan Shop was top notch. This can be a tricky way to get into your new home but Sloan helped us smoothly navigate the process and went over and above to provide us with advice along the way with regards to contracts, lawyers, builders, banks etc. Thank you for your help. We are so happy to be in our new home.
T.Sloan and the team provide expert, impartial advice that removes the complexity and hassle associated with navigating the lending market. We felt at all times, that the Home Loan Shop had our best interests at heart, leveraging their substantial relationships and premium provider rating to get us into our home. Could not recommend more for those looking to simplify their buying experience, and have real conversations with real people who seriously get it.
G.Highly recommend The Home Loan Shop. Sloan was amazing to deal with, it made the whole process so easy for us. He was really knowledgeable and talked us through all the aspects of our loan that, as first home buyers, we had no idea about.
W. E.We were very pleased with the service provided by the Homeloan shop. We are experienced house buyers but not in the New Zealand market. Sloan not only helped us with getting the right mortgage for our situation but also provided some useful information about the process of buying a house. The reminders about the next steps to take were also helpful. It gave us confidence that we were on the right track. We can highly recommend the Homeloan shop and Sloan in particular and we would definitely would do business with them again would the opportunity arise.
B.Sloan and the team at Home Loan Shop exceeded our expectations. Very professional and super quick to respond to any query. Made the whole process a breeze, highly recommended.
M. M.Oliver Keogh was outstanding in arranging a valuation, mortgage, lawyer and accountant for us in order to purchase our dream home (a second property). We approached Oli 7 business days before the deadline sale after incorrect advice from our bank and he went above and beyond to get us ready to submit a successful offer. He kept us informed every step of the way, and really cared about our outcome. Without Oli we would not have this property. I cannot thank him enough!
N.Awesome service and advice. Would highly recommend Sloan McPhee.
S.I've set up a number of home loans with Sloan McPhee at the Home Loan Shop over the years. Sloan and the team always give the best advice and are proactive in following up the banks and me to get things over the line. Would recommend without hesitation
J.My wife and I purchased a house with the assistance of Sloan and the team down at the home loan shop. We found our dealings with Sloan to be particularly personal, with Sloan taking a deep interest in who we were, where we wanted to buy and price ranges etc. Sloan explained the structures of a mortgage really clearly and concisely and we felt confident all the time relying on Sloan's advice. Overall, I really enjoyed using the home loan shop and would highly recommend them to all. I will certainly be staying in touch.
C.Sloan was great. He and Xavier were very organised and communicative, and really guided us through the process of getting our first home. Highly recommended!
D. B.Graham and I were so appreciative of Sloan's help. Not only did he get us a mortgage at a great rate he also provided us with excellent advice that helped us decide what sort of property we wanted to buy. He was honest and helpful and great to deal with. We have no problem in recommending Sloan McPhee and the Home Loan Shop.
C.I would highly recommend the Home Loan Shop team to anyone! Steven was really knowledgeable and communicative, and able to get quick responses from the bank which was invaluable in such a crazy market (definitely wouldn't have got the property I did without his speed and dedication). He was really on top of things and provided great personal service. Ngā mihi Steven!
S.Sloan and the team do a great job, even working through some really complex lending. It's great to have them on your team and to benefit from their extensive skills and experience.
They are also nice guys and really easy to deal with.
B. S.Sloan was crucial to the purchase of our first home without him we would have been swimming up stream. Sloan locked in the best deals for us numerous times and at a speed that meant that we always had offers in when it mattered. We now own an awesome home and we can't thank him enough! Where are the six star ratings?
J. D.I had the pleasure of having Steven Hogg assist me with my first home purchase. He and his team were able to take what seemed like a daunting task and turn it into series of achievable steps with assistance all throughout. I found the process to be completely transparent without any indication of being pressured at any stage. Steve was able to help formulate a deal that worked right for me, and I would not hesitate to use the Home Loan Shop again in the future.
V.We were well looked after by Sloan and Matt at The Home Loan Shop :)
They gave great advice, lots of options, and kept in contact throughout the whole house-buying and life-insurance process, which was invaluable for our first home purchase.
Excellent customer service, lovely friendly team. Highly recommend!
F. M.I would highly recommened Sloan and the Home Loan Shop to anyone buying a new home. Sloan made everything so simple for us and helped us throughout the whole process. He is very good in communication and has plenty good suggestions and advice. Very happy with the service. Keep up the great work :)
K.Sloan McPhee at the Home Loan Shop was incredibly helpful to us! We had a bit of a complex financial set up and he was super patient and able to exceed our expectations. He is calm, professional, organized and optimistic. Everything you'd want to help you purchase a home!
J. D.Dealt with Sloan for the purchase of our new property after the great service he provided us 9 years ago when we brought our previous place. Of all people I have worked with across all fields I can honestly say without exaggeration that Sloan provides a level of customer service without peer. Thanks again Sloan - I couldn't recommend you more highly.
B.Was great to have Sloan and the team supporting us through the process.
Sloan had a wealth of knowledge and was so easy to deal with.
R.On Christmas Eve we viewed a property that we decided to make an offer on. At that point we had no pre-approved finance so we contacted Carley. She worked tirelessly for us over the Christmas break and our finance was sorted within a few days. We can’t speak highly enough of the professional and friendly service Carley provided and would have no hesitation in recommending her services to anyone.
A.We had the pleasure of working with Sloan to rearrange our finances, he made it so easy. He explained everything in detail and then guided us through from start to finish. We would highly recommend working with Sloan and the Team. Thanks so much for everything.
R.Sloan and the rest of the team at the Home Loan Shop have been absolutely wonderful to deal with. Good advice, super fast response, clear guidance and no surprises from first contact to settlement. Would definitely recommend them.
S.As a first home buyer I was a bit nervous and needed some extra support. Steven was so supportive through the process and took time to explain things and reassure me. I would absolutely work with Steven again.
J. a. H. W.Sloan was awesome, helping us navigate through obtaining a mortgage for our first home a few years ago, and just recently again for an investment property. Nothing was a hassle and he was always free to chat and answer any questions we had. We'd thoroughly recommend his services to anyone looking to purchase a property!
R.Oli was very quick to respond to my application and showed a great deal of respect, professionalism and knowledge. He was available to answer any questions I had and kept me updated with any new correspondance. I highly recommend Oli from the Home Loan Shop and will certainly be passing on his details to friends and family.
S.Martin Duncan at the home loan shop was really helpful at every step, he helped me work out what I could afford and what steps I could take to increase it.
He assisted with multiple offers with a really fast turnaround before I found the place I've moved to.
I definitely recommend popping in to chat with the staff if you have any questions about house purchasing.
L.We sought advice from Sloan for our mortgage, and he was able to take us through the preapproval process quickly and find us excellent options for our loan. Sloan was quick to respond and gave us helpful advice on all our questions. We would highly recommend Sloan and the Home Loan Shop team.
T.As first home buyers, the advice from Sloan and the team was instrumental in giving us the support we needed to get our feet on the property ladder finally! We would absolutely recommend them, proper first class mortgage brokers!
J. S.Couldn't be happier with our experience of buying our first home with the help of Sloan from The Home Loan Shop. He made everything really easy and was always so quick to respond to all the questions we had. We're so grateful for the awesome deal he got us. Thanks heaps!
M.I was well looked after by Sloan and the team during the whole mortgage process. He ensured I was made aware of and understood the whole process and more importantly was very patient. He is a trusted advisor who I feel safe and confident with. This is the second time I've used his services and I have been impressed both times. I would highly recommend the team to you.
T. L.We thoroughly recommend going to see Sloan, Matt, and the rest of the team at the Home Loan Shop. They made buying our first home a hassle free experience, helping us understand the various stages and making sure we stayed 'on track' as the settlement date finally arrived. Easily five star service.
K. S.Stevie and Matt from the Home Loan Shop were an excellent help in getting our mortgage and insurances sorted. They took the stress out of buying our first home and were always happy to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend both their services!
S.Oli made this process so easy for us and hassle free. Always responsive, and took away all the stress associated with organising our mortgage when we had no idea what we were doing. Thank Oli
J. T.Home Loan Shop were amazingly supportive through my re-financing. Thank you Jordan Mitchell for patiently enduring my home-renovation aspirations, creating options & opportunities, guiding me through the big words I didn’t understand, and making those far-fetched aspirations a reality. He made the process simple, transparent & seamless. Thanks team!
t.To Martin D. - he is the right guy for us in achieving our dream 1st home. We have never thought we could achieve it this year, but when you have the right people in your back- your dream will become a reality.
He will not give up on you and will go above and beyond to help you achieve your dream home. We will surely recommend Martin to be your broker, to our friends, family and eveyone else.
Thanks heaps Martin. - Gaspe Family
J. F.Thanks again to Sloan McPhee and the rest of the team at The Home Loan Shop. You guys go above and beyond when it comes to organising finance! Sloan has now helped me with 8 different mortgage applications, and while I no longer live in Wellington I still entrust raising finance to him.
He is hard working , very reliable and quick to respond.
He is a valued part of my team and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone looking at buying.
K.Thank you SO much to Stephen and the team for their exceptional service. He went above and beyond and made the process so easy for us. We will be recommending far and wide!
F.Oli has been a fantastic support. Diligent, responsive and clear in communication. He has significantly reduced the legwork we need to do, helped push forward applications with lenders, and given good insight on trends.
C.Oli was very fast to respond to all our questions in detail.
Very knowledgeable and explains information clearly.
Oli was excellent throughout the process. Would highly recommend.

We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Jordan to family and friends as you are in very good hands.

S.Multiple time this outift has sorted us out with good advice and great outcomes. Steven Hogg this time around went above and beyond and really delivered for us - he's a hard worker who really knows his stuff. Great to have him on our team.
A.Oliver has been super amazing, helpful and always friendly! Highly recommend his services!

He is such a pleasure to deal with and puts up with a million different questions from us and always responds to us in a timely and helpful manner. Oli is super knowledgeable about products and services from a range of banks and helps us problem solve any potential road blocks. Definitely recommend 100x over and we hand his details out to all our family and friends ☺️
J.It's not the first time we have gone to Sloan from The Home Loan Shop and it won't be the last. Sloan is a professional in every way and makes the process smooth and enjoyable. Thanks again - Emma and Joe
K.Highly recommend going through The Home Loan Shop! My partner and I just bought a house, and Callan made the process as easy as possible with helpful information and referrals. Matt has sorted all our insurance needs (going above and beyond by checking with every possible insurer to find the best rates and coverage, always being responsive to emails etc.), and we also found a wonderful lawyer through the shop. For first-time home buyers or even if you've done it before, this is the place to go!
L.We dealt with Bernie who was excellent - proactive and explained everything extremely well. He gave us full confidence throughout the home buying process. We would definitely recommend visiting Home Loan shop when you are looking at taking on a mortgage.
O.We had the pleasure of working with Nick Virtue.
He was a top notch bloke who understood well our need and achieved a great result for us resulting in our new home.
Had a good capacity to explain the somewhat complex process at hand in a simple to understand format. Always responsive and happy to help.
Cheers mate!
P.We had heard great things about the Home Loan Shop so decided to get their assistance with a mortgage top-up. We were lucky to be seen by Carley Brunning who was amazing to deal with. Carley is empathic, a great listener and went out of her way to explain the process and interpret the jargon for us. She is now our go-to person for anything mortgage-related. We definitely recommend that you ask for Carley by name.
a.Can't speak highly enough of Greg & Nikki. We had a bit of a complex home loan and Greg sorted everything out no dramas! Professional, helpful & great communication at every step. We're now building our lovely new home. Thanks a lot guys!! :-D
L. G.We had Greg Scott as our mortgage broker and he was great. Since it was our first home that we were purchasing we had absolutely no idea what we were doing or where to start. Greg was friendly, informative and efficient. Everytime we rang or emailed he never acted like it was an inconvience and we contacted Greg a lot! I’m so relieved we made the decision to go with the Home Loan Shop as I don’t think our first home purchase would have gone as smoothly as it has if we went directly to the bank. 5 stars for sure and we will definitely be recommending the Home Loan Shop to any friends or family who are looking for their first home
L.Sloan McPhee and his team give full circle service, from liasing with lawyers, banks, insurance, follow-up emails and calls.
Buying and selling a house was made so much easier.
Amazing! Thank you! 🤩 10/10
A.The Home Loan Shop really is a class act. I really felt that they were doing their best for my interests. At no point did I have to 'chase up' an errand and they would regularly check up on me to make sure that we were progressing in the right direction. Everything was well explained and they made the process of buying a house a lot less stressful than what I thought it might be. The HLS went above and beyond their area of work and offered advice on things to avoid and what to look out for when buying a home. Sloan McPhee who was my Mortgage Advisor is a credit to the company and I am very fortunate to have had my mortgage dealt with by him. Also I'd like to mention Matt who helped me decide what life insurance and income protection I wanted. Equally impressed with his service. I would strongly recommend the HLS to deal with mortgage and Insurance matters. A great team of people who deliver excellent customer service. A rarity these days. Thumbs up!
B.We were supported by Sloan & Nikki when buying a house, every step of the way. They guided us through the whole process with a high level of service. Of all the people we dealt with during the entire house hunting and purchasing process Home Loan Shop was the best!
N.My partner and I worked with Stevie from the home loan shop to purchase our first house. Stevie made the entire process a breeze and was with us right through. There was no pressure to go a certain way and all our decisions were our own. If you are looking at what you need for a deposit or got a house in mind The home loan shop is my recommendation! :D Thanks again Stevie, you are fantastic!
M.Awesome service from Oli as always. Always makes it easy with no fuss or stress. Have recommended him to plenty of friends/family and he always looks after them well right through to settlement day.
K.Stevie at The Home Loan Shop was great to deal with when we were getting a mortgage for our first home. She is knowledgable, patient and friendly, and secured us a great deal. I would recommend her to everyone.
D.Dealt with Mortgage Broker Oli Keogh. Made the process super simple and made sure we knew what we had to do in order to get the best deal. Would absolutely recommend if I knew someone looking for a mortgage broker in future
B.We thoroughly enjoy working with the team at The Home Loan Shop. Steven has been outstanding professionally and personally and you would be lucky to work with him. A+
S.Steven Hogg was my mortgage broker and offered great advice, he worked hard of my behalf to get me the best rates possible for my situation and was always very timely and professional in his communication. I would highly recommend Steven and The Home Loan shop.
D.Mark and Stevie were recommended to us by our
friends, and although the expectations were already
set high, they totally managed to exceed them. Ours
was the easiest and most stress-free first home
purchase I have ever heard off, all thanks to the
professionals from Home Loan Shop.
K.Mark and Stevie at the Home Loan Shop are home buying angels and I couldn't recommend them enough! There is absolutely no way we could have bought our first home without their help. I approached them with a slightly pessimistic view on our chances of being able to get a loan after speaking to a couple of other brokers, but with their expertise, constant guidance and genuine passion for helping people, we got approvals and a house in just over a month! I had no idea on how the process worked, so I was incredibly anxious about everything, and between them both my nerves were always put at ease and they always responded to any questions straight away. Amazing service from genuinely amazing people! Our young little family cannot thank them enough!
J.Sloan just made everything easy from the very start when we needed finance to build our home, through to all the changes and re-arrangements over the years. It's great having a single point of contact who sorts everything & anything we need, getting us great results super fast and making the process easy and stress free!
M.We worked with Oli at the Home Loan Shop - couldn’t recommend him more highly. He was highly responsive and bent over backwards to get us the best result possible.
S.These guys were fantastic at guiding us through the first-home buying process. It was so helpful to have someone walk us through what we needed to do and make sure we were on track. We really appreciated the excellent communication - we sent a lot of emails and always received a reply quickly. Definitely recommend.
S.Multiple time this outift has sorted us out with good advice and great outcomes. Steven Hogg this time around went above and beyond and really delivered for us - he's a hard worker who really knows his stuff. Great to have him on our team.
K.Oliver was great to deal with, he was professional, responsive and got what we wanted done very quickly. Would highly recommend Oliver to anyone needing a home loan
J. C.My partner and I worked with Mark Cook and Stevie Wallace at the Home Loan Shop to secure our mortgage and first home purchase. I genuinely can not speak more highly of them, their hard work ethic, how they went so far above and beyond for us in all aspects, their efficiency, their knowledge blew my expectations out of the water.
As anyone looking to buy their first home can understand, there is a lot of unknowns and uncertainties around how everything works, in all our correspondence with Mark he walked us through everything in detail and made the whole process seem so much easier taking all the stress and worry away. They really know this business inside and out, you couldn't be in safer hands.
We couldn't be happier and I couldn't recommend these 2 more highly. Thanks so much Mark and Stevie, you guys are the real deal!!!
A. a. N. O.Mark Cook is the best mortgage broker ever and I cannot recommend him enough!
This is the second time I have worked with Mark, both times he has been excellent. My partner and I were so well looked after - his advice, knowledge in the industry and communication was superb - we never had to chase to have things done, he did what he said he would do (which can be rare these days). Not only a genuine nice guy to work with, he also sourced great interest rates for us and a cash bonus, which is what it is about right.
If you need a mortgage or would like to refinance Mark is your guy, he is great at what he does, he takes all the hard work and stress out of getting a mortgage and will fight for you and ensure the best rates. Thanks Mark, look forward to working with you again soon.
G.Steven was very easy to deal with and made the prospect of getting a mortgage actually a positive experience. He was friendly, knowledgeable and always available when needed. I would have no issue going back to Steven again, or referring friends and family onto him as well. Nga Mihi,
J.Sloan and the team from the Home Loan Shop are brilliant to work with.
They guide you along every step of the way and are always just a phone call away if you have any questions. If you require the services of a mortgage broker in the Wellington region look no further.
M.Wonderful service :) Made buying a house so much easier than expected! I would definitely recommend Steven Hogg, he was available when we needed him - very committed!
B.If you are looking for a team who are quick, efficient, and hassle free then it is The Home Loan shop! Sloan and his team help us with the process which can be quite stressful for 1st home buyer like us but nevertheless we are proud owner of a house now! Thanks to the Home Loan Shop!
K.Callan could not have been more helpful with the purchase of our first home. We had no agent as it was a private sale, so Callan really went above and beyond to support us and walk us through this process which was completely new to us. Angela was also really helpful and provided us with regular updates on the approval process of our home loan. We are really happy with the home loan that they arranged for us. Thanks guys!
S.Callan at The Home Loan Shop has been my mortgage broker for more than 5 years and have always provided me great customer focused service to get the best deals possible. He is very easy to deal with and his industry knowledge and rapport with the major banks makes wading through banking red tape simple. I definitely recommend The Home Loan Shop
L.Outstanding service from Sloan. Extremely knowledgeable in his field and got us fantastic results, even though it was a long haul for us to finally get in to our first home. Thanks so much, Sloan comes highly recommended by us.
M. S.Sloan made the whole home loan process easy and relaxed. Got us the deal we wanted after we had no success shopping around ourselves. I'm a convert to using brokers!
T.Great service and made the whole process significantly easier and streamlined. 10/10 would recommend.
A.Couldn't recommend Oliver Keogh more! As first home buyers, Oli made an otherwise daunting process incredibly easy for us. Throughout the whole process Oli was professional, supportive and incredibly quick to respond. Thanks again Oli!
E.We had the pleasure of working with both Martin and Pippa on our recent, albeit long and arduous, search for a new home. They were fantastic to work with - friendly, supportive, patient and always ensured we met our tight deadlines. They have strong relationships with the banks and were able to ensure we got the best deal possible that met our goals and objectives. We can't recommend them highly enough. Thanks again for all your help.
T.Nick was extremely helpful and informative throughout this process. It was a real pleasure and he guided me each step of the way. Top class and genuine service.
S. C.Sloan and hit team were amazing to work with while we looked for our new family home. They answered all our queries promptly and went to extra lengths when we needed urgent help. I can't recommend these guys enough to anyone who needs their services... thanks team!

T.Oli is the exceptional at what he does. He goes above and beyond, often outside normal working hours. I highly recommend Oli to anyone looking for advice and help in relation to home loans.
T.Steve was absolutely awesome! The rock in the unknown waters for a 1st house buyer!
l.Received excellent service from The Home Loan Shop. Sloan was there every step of the way and made the whole experience hassle-free with excellent communication right to the end.
T.I have dealt with Oliver Keogh for a couple of years now. Hes fantastic and goes the extra mile to get you to your desired outcome whilst providing clarity throughout the process. Thanks again Oli
T.Sloan directed us through the whole process of pre-approvals and purchase, got us a great deal with the bank, and then sorted everything out for us - great service! Highly recommended.
I. H.This is a team of Pros, they have all the contacts and all the answers. It's a no brainer, why bother chasing the banks when these guys get it done in half the time.
Sloan was always ready to help, called us even in his own time to help out.
100% recommend!
P.Very Happy with Sloan and the Team at The Home Loan Shop. Guided us through the process of buying our first home and kept in constant contact throughout. Thank You!
D.We were catered by Stevie, and we were very pleased with her service. She helped us go through the process of buying our first home. She also referred us to the right people which were also very great. We highly recommend them.
S.Helped us out a lot buying our first home and stuck with us all the way, we definitely couldn’t have done it without all their help. Big thanks to Nelson!

J.Steven has been amazing throughout the process. Very supportive, proactive, patient and clear with his guidance. Highly recommended!
H.Bernie is an outstanding mortgage broker. I could not recommend him highly enough. Over the last couple of years that we’ve been looking for a house Bernie had our back on several occasions and he always went the extra mile for us. His responsiveness and attention to detail is exemplary and to top it all off he happens to be a genuinely nice guy. What more could you ask for?
L.Big thanks to Steven Hogg for all his efforts. He is such the professional and I recommend Steven / The Home Loan Shop to anyone buying a house or refinancing their current mortgage.
T.I've been working with Marty from Home Loan Shop for a number of years now and would highly recommend their service. A great bunch of guys and keen to get the job done! If you're looking for good home loan advice or a quality mortgage broker in Wellington, Home Loan Shop would be my choice.
C.Callan made the process of buying a house so easy for us! The Home Loan shop's simple easy to use online application is a painless and quick process, and Callan's experience and expertise helped with how best to structure our loans. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend.
V.Fantastic , Professional ,Quick response and easy to deal with. Takes away all the hassle of doing the leg-work yourself! Can I give you more than 5 stars!!! Thanks Nelson.
L.Stevie did an amazing job helping us to find our first home. She made the process super easy and was quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Thanks again Stevie 😊

V.The Home Loan shop is fantastic, made the process of us buying our new home so easy. Thanks Sloan for all your hard work!
E.Sloan and the team were superb, super easy, professional and with all the best advice. Always with a super positive attitude and responding fast to all our questions!
A.Highly recommend The Home Loan Shop. My brother and I were buying our first home and Jordan was extremely friendly, made us feel at home and very helpful throughout the process. Thanks Jordan!
K.I think you get to a point where talking to someone who knows next to nothing about finance, around something as important as your mortgage becomes a sadistic joke. This is what awaits you at most major banks at their front line call centres. Simple math and English escapes the majority of the operators and you end up spinning in circles. To get a decent deal you need to get past the paper pushing, process driven first tier customer support.
I knew I needed a broker who could penetrate that initial layer.
I had known of Sloan for a little while through a colleague and he was always down to earth, called it how it was and was good to deal with. Those are all great but Sloan knows what he is talking about, he's been in the game for a long time and has the relationships deep within lending institutions to make a difference, both in your customer experience and in your wallet.
I'll probably be a customer for life!
S.Sloan worked to secure us a great deal. Really happy with his advice and the end result. Happy to recommend him.
S.Oli from HLS was super awesome in helping us get everything sorted for us! 10/10 would recommend :)
S.Great service from this place! Would highly recommend both Callan and Oli. I was a first time home buyer and they made the process super simple and kept me informed and advised along the way!
T.All our expectations were exceeded – and then some! Made buying a house as stress-free as it could possibly be: connected us with the best options and working relationships for our wants and needs, and celebrated with us when all was finalised. A fantastic experience.
R.Stephen was really helpful through the whole process, he was pretty much always available to contact - he even called us when he was on holiday once. Recommended.
K.My experience with Home Loan shop has been excellent.
I found my Mortgage Broker Sloan Mcphee to be helpful, provided good advice, was diligent and prompt in responding to any query that I had.
K.Sloan has been super helpful and responsive throughout the process of pre-approval, one failed offer and one successful property purchase. Really recommend him!
S.Oli was so easy to deal with and made the whole process so easy. Great communication, happy to answer all questions. Can't recommend Oli highly enough.
A.Mark and the Home loan Shop have been nothing but amazing from start to finish!! I was made to feel like i was a priority and every question and concern i had was answered with a calm professional response, taking any of the stress out of what can be a stressful time especially under a time constraint, thanks heaps guys! Highly recommend The Home Loan Shop
T.Sloan provided top quality advice and a fantastic customer experience. He clearly knows his way around the market and made everything so easy for us. We will definitely be back.
M.Absolutely incredible, efficient and painless . Callan went the extra mile to help us out. I honestly believe if it wasn't for Callan we would be still renting. The team were there at any moment via text, email and phone, nothing was too much trouble, More importantly him and the team recognise the stress buying a home can be so go the extra mile for you to ensure they validate any concerns , answer questions and basically just are at the end of the phone.
We also need to acknowledge Angela and Emma, when Callan wasn't available, these two picked up and went with it, they knew where we were at in the process, so obviously team communication is spot on, so no repeating ourselves. The whole process was seamless and smooth transition between consultants.
For anyone out there even just thinking about buying, go and see these guys. We didnt even realise it would be possible, first approach to me felt like we were dreaming, but somehow they made it happen!
Can't thank you guys enough!!!! Oh and for the record, we now have the keys for our own home :) Bloody brilliant!!!!
J.Sloan and Nikki at the Home Loan Shop make the process of arranging finance so simple. I highly recommend speaking to them before looking to purchase a house.
