Applying for a mortgage is rarely straightforward. But for Rosina, the process came with a particularly long list of moving parts. Three family members involved in the application, multiple lawyers, a brand new business, and a deadline that allowed no room for delay. It was, by any measure, a complicated situation.
What made the difference was having Judy Steiner, a local Hawke’s Bay Mortgage Adviser, in her corner.
A situation with a lot of moving parts
From the outset, the pressure was on. The combination of family complexity, a newly established business, and a tight approval window made the whole process feel overwhelming. Rosina needed someone who could handle the detail, manage the relationships, and keep things moving. All at once.
Rosina already knew Judy through a local business networking group, and that familiarity gave her confidence. She reached out to her knowing she was in good hands. “I had complete and utter faith that Judy would pull it through,” she says.
Taking the complexity off Rosina’s plate
Judy stepped in and dealt directly with the accountants and lawyers involved, coordinating the conversations and paperwork that needed to happen to keep the application on track. The family dynamics and new business structure were handled with care and professionalism. Nothing was left to chance.
Even with the holiday season looming, the team kept pushing forward. They got the mortgage across the line just before Christmas.
More than just a mortgage
Once the mortgage was sorted, Rosina chose to bring her insurance needs to Judy as well, including a somewhat tricky case of insuring a pilot daughter! Judy took a fresh look at all of Rosina’s existing insurance policies, some of which hadn’t been reviewed in around 15 years. It turned out Rosina had been over-insured, and the review resulted in meaningful savings.
As Judy puts it: “Experience and good relationships really help when you are needing to make things work. Knowing how to make things work and who to work with makes all the difference.”
Rosina’s verdict
Despite the complexity of her situation, Rosina found the whole process straightforward and virtually stress-free. She achieved her goal within a strict deadline and came away with better insurance cover than she’d had before. She wholeheartedly recommends Judy and the team to anyone navigating a tricky mortgage or insurance situation.
Complex doesn’t have to mean stressful
