"A top notch professional service - took the stress & worry out of shopping around for a competitive mortgage rate - i highly recommend Mark Cook being a first time property buyer he was very patient & thorough yet personable - A+"

"Dealing with Mark made buying our first home easy and enjoyable. For two years we had struggled with the banks in terms of clarity regarding finance and conditions. However after our first meeting with Mark we came away with all our questions answered, and pre-approved finance that we understood and were happy with."
-
"Sloan was a fantastic morgage broker and I found that his service was exceptional. Being a first home buyer Sloan was really proactive and met with me prior my search and helped me to be realistic in my expectations and affordability. He also took the time to explain every step of the process and the jargon that was involved. Sloan gave me a real range of options when deciding on my mortagage package and set me up with a personal banker. When I finally was successful with finding a home Sloan was in contact with me through the settlement process and topped it all off with a friendly congratulatory call. I was also pleased with the people Sloan refered me to for valuations and insurance products. Top guy!"
-
"I would highly recommend the home loan shop and in particular Sloan McPhee . Sloan was highly professional, he paid particular attention to detail and continued to keep us informed of the process. We are absolutely thrilled with the service and outcomes . I have recommended Sloan and the home loan shop to our friends. Thanks Sloan and the home loan shop. Liana Eruera"
-
"Greg was super helpful and provided us with great advice. He found us pre approval when other banks said no. What i liked most about greg was that even though we were probably a very small customer to him he made us feel like we were just as important as the big players. Greg stayed in contact with us through the whole process. I highly reccomend Greg as a mortgage broker and also some to give external strategic advice."
-
"Excellent service and advice from Callan and Martin at the Home Loan Shop. Helped us secure our business funding and also provided advice and guidance which assisted us greatly. Highly recommend their services, both professional and easy to deal with."
-
"A work colleague of mine put me on to Martin Duncan and The Home Loan Shop. He said this guy (Martin) is excellent. Martin arranged pre finance for us and we were ready to look for a house. It took us nearly a year of open homes and Martin was there to assist us all of the way. We finally found our home and Martin had worked a finance deal with our bank which was better than we could have hoped for. I thought financing a home would be complicated, Martin made it easy. Without him we would still be renting. My work colleague was right!!"
-
"I went to the Home Loan Shop to refinance several investment property mortgages and my home mortgage. Martin was brilliant to deal with, friendly and efficient. He managed to arrange a super deal for me and I am far better off. I also used a lawyer which he recommended, she was also excellent. Will definitely use again and recommend to all. Huge thanks to Martin!"
-
"We are currently living in the UK and were wanting to purchase a property in NZ ready for our return. We thought this was going to be difficult and then we found Sloan at The Home Loan Shop. After 2 phone calls and 2 e-mails to Sloan our mortgage was pre-approved. 8 weeks later and we have just settled! Sloan and the team at The Home Loan Shop made the entire process so easy. Would have no problem recommending The Home Loan Shop to anyone."
-
"Martin is a super friendly and knowledgeable guy. He made the whole process of buying my first home very easy. He secured me a great rate, explained every detail and was always available when ever I had questions. He also put in touch with a great lawyer. I would definitely advise anyone looking for a mortgage that the Home Loan Shop and Martin are fantastic. Thanks heaps"
-
"Professional, efficient and reliable service for home finance and insurances. Recommended."
-
"Sloan who arranged our homeloan was brilliant. We knew where we stood right from the outset, he communicated with us regularly and sought out the best deal for us from multiple banks! We ended up with a great rate and lots of extras all without the hassle of having to do it ourselves. Fantastic service and fantastic results!"
-
"Highly recommended for first home buyers. Sloan made the process super easy. Gold star."
-
"Sloan was incredibly patient and helpful. Our situation was one out of the bag, and relating to the house sale and purchase, nothing was straight forward. Sloan had great advice, was on the ball the whole way through, and was incredibly professional but friendly at the same time. I would not hesitate to recommend Sloan to anyone looking for mortgage/finance advise."
-
"Martin was great to work with and got us a fantastic two year fixed rate. We had an unusual situation in that our new house didn't settle for over six months due to a boundary anomaly. Before the issue was remedied Martin tried to get us finance and even tried banks where he wouldn't get commission to get us something locked in. Martin definitely went above and beyond the call of duty and we would recommend him and The Home Loan Shop to anyone looking for a broker."

In particular Matt and Sloan were really good about taking me through the various options and enabling me to make a good, informed decision. it never felt pushy and I always felt in control, but all the details were taken care of."
-
"Martin is awesome, we had a thousand questions and they were all answered promptly and professionally. The advice and contacts from the homeloan shop took alot of the stress and hassle out of the process as well as finding us a great rate! I would happily recommend Martin to anyone looking to buy property."
-
"The guys who helped us get our mortgage and life insurance were really helpful and efficient, and also very proactive - we didn't have to chase them for anything. I would definitely use them again."
-
"Martin was great. I was turned down by one bank and two mortgage brokers, but Martin was there to help. I had less than 25% deposit and wanted a small apartment - the others didn't want to know me, but Martin said we could find a way from the outset. When I was looking at compromising, he said I should be able to buy the place I will be happy in for a long time. And we did it - I bought a place I'm very happy with. I recomment Martin highly."

"Working with Greg at the Home Loan Shop was the smartest decision my partner and I made when we started looking for our first house. He made everything so easy, and we wouldn't have got there without him. I would recommend Greg unconditionally to anyone looking to buy a house."
-
"I’m a man of few words so will keep this short. Martin Duncan will make buying a house an enjoyable process, my wife had a million and one questions but all were answered promptly and in detail. Very down to earth individual and was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend you seek Martin out before you even start looking at properties as his advice and knowledge in the industry will give you a good platform to make the right decisions. Thanks Martin, your O for awesome!!"
-
"Mark helped us with the purchase of our first house - a scary time and learning experience for anyone! Mark made sure that both of us understood everything we were signing up for from the outset and worked extremely hard to get us the best possible rates he could. I am so glad we used The Home Loan Shop rather than battling the banks ourselves - the amount of time and stress Mark would have saved us is huge! Mark is down to earth, personable, and very supportive. I would reccomend him in a flash to anyone wanting to purchase a property!"
-
"We are first time home buyers and Martin has been an absolute star throughout out the whole process, at providing advice and finding the best deals for us.

"As first time home buyers, Sloan was very helpful and went out of his way to assist us, even when on leave, to get finance sorted on very satisfactory terms, and, made sure we understood what we were getting ourselves into. He also put in considerable effort each time we had a property we were interested in, even though when these fell through, he didn't get paid!"
-
"I've used Sloan Mcphee for 5 years now can whole heartedlly recommend him. He works hard on any request you have, coordinates quickly and always keeps you in the loop as to whats required and going on. He's helped me with two houses and an overdraft so far and its nice to have it all sorted with a minimum of fuss. Highly recommended."
-
"Prompt and transparent operation, very easy to deal with and will always go the extra mile. 10/10"

"We dealt with Sloan McPhee to buy our first home and honestly couldn't recommend him more. He explained everything so clearly and really worked to get us the best possible deal available. He was always available to speak to and just made the whole process so much easier and relaxing, knowing that we were in safe hands. We went to Sloan on a recommendation and have in turn recommended him to anyone looking to purchase or refinance their property."

"I can't recommend Greg Scott and Matt Guilford from the home loan shop highly enough. Greg secured us a first home mortgage and gave us excellent advice. They are very friendly and kept us up to date though the whole process. Matt helped us with life insurance and provided excellent advice for house and contents insurance. Both of the guys were happy to meet us in the weekend. There is no doubt we will use these guys again!"
-
"without a shadow of doubt the work martin and his company has done for us has probably saved me from insanity....he has been patient through several false starts and remained open and concerned for us . he went to lengths to accommodate my somewhat frustrated attitude over the building process and helped me understand what i was going through. and he sorted the loan as well. i have never used a broker before despite having a number of house loans but i will never go back to me trying to do it all! i have nothing but praise for Martin and the guys at home loan shop"
-
"I was recommended HLS by good friends and they did not let me down! I have been an anxious customer, wanting to make sure I was doing the right thing, getting the right information where it needed to go as well as the right advice for me. Martin was more than a mortgage broker, he gave me real estate advice, relationship counselling and even calmed me down from panic attacks! He really earned his commission with me!! I would recommend the team in an instant! Thank you Martin :)"
-
"I have dealt with Martin for a couple of years now and he has always shown attention to detail, quick turnaround to any queries, offered helpful suggestions/solutions, set me on the right track and responded to my questions (no matter how obvious the answer may have been to him) on a level which I could understand. I would highly recommend Martin with the utmost confidence."
-
"I cannot recommend them highly enough. After a complete shambles and very stressful experience with NZ home loans we were relieved and delighted to deal with Martin. He was clear, honest, asked for everything we needed once and turned our mortgage around in a very short space of time. Really greatful for their efficiency and ability to answer any curly questions and solve any issues quickly and calmly!! Great service, friendly down to earth and helpful! Thanks for turning a stressful and difficult process into something easy."
-
"Martin made the entire process of buying a house simple and easy. I had no idea what to expect as a first home buyer but Martin was available whenever i needed help, guidance, answers. And now i have my dream home which wouldn't have been possible without his help. He pushed for a great deal! Would highly recommend using the Home Loan Shop!"
-
"It has been such a pleasure working with Mark Cook and being first home buyer I was not sure what do do and where to contact but 'the home loan shop' made the process so easy. Thanks again for all of your wonderful work. Gurpreet."
-
"Martin was fantastic! As a first time home purchaser, going into the process alone was pretty daunting. After a less-than-satisfactory interaction with a bank, I approached Martin (based on a friend's recommendation). Right from the start Martin was helpful, friendly and knowledgable. He negotiated a great rate with the bank and was more than willing to offer advice on other areas of the home-buying process. I will certainly be going through Martin and The Homeloan Shop for the loan for my renovations. Highly recommend!"
-
"We found working with Martin very hassle free, the whole process was straightforward and flowed with no problems. Martin negotiated a good interest rate and terms with our mortgage, and was a friendly guy who we could relate to easily. I highly recommend Martin to anyone else looking to buy property. When we spoke to our bank directly they were not willing to make any property purchase easy. Martin has the leverage to negotiate the best deal for you. We have already recommended a number of our friends to Martin, some of which Martin has helped already."
-
"Gregg saved me megabucks and nothing was too much trouble. Also he and his staff know a lot about all things to do with property and insurance."
-
"I have always wondered how it would feel like working with a broker. I have approached Home Loan Shop to look at the best deal for the deposit that we have for a house. Mark Cook had taken us to the process and we are impressed with the reliability, professionalism, customer service. knowledge and integrity that he had given us. I compared the experience with going through application process myself with 2 other banks directly at the same time. I am glad that I have a basis for comparison as Mark's ability to deliver has been far greater than doing it myself. I have already recommended him/The Home Loan Shop to 3 of my colleagues and 1 of them had gone and seen him already and happy to report to me that he has been a 'star'. Well done Mark!"
-
"Mark Cook of the Home Loan Shop was fantastic to deal with! We originally began the search for a bank to provide us with a home loan on our own, but after finding it a little challenging approached the Home Loan Shop, having used them previously, to assist us. Mark made the hunt for a home loan easy, kept us informed during the entire proess and was more than willing to answer the many questions I had. We were more than happy with the home loan we ended up with, and his advice about splitting our loan was very valuable. I would highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for an experienced mortgage broker. If we're in need of further assistance with looking for a home loan I would not hesitate to contact the Home Loan Ship in the first instance."
-
"more than happy with the service and people and will definitely use them again next time!"
-
"Mark & his team, were responsive, reassuring and clear communicators throughout our first home buying process. We came to them for advice and guidance and ended up educated and aware of what to look for and what we needed to do throughout each step. No question was a stupid question and Mark was great at checking in and explaining anything we didn't understand. So helpful and we really wouldn't have gotten there without these guys. Thank you Home Loan Shop!"
-
"Our introduction to the Housing market was a tough one as first time buyers we had no clue where to start or what to do first. Mark took us through step by step and made it easy to understand, if i got it then he did well ha ha. Mark was availible when ever we needed to ask a question and was very quick with any responses. This was the one stage we had no worries over, which was a big weight lifted. HIGHLY recommend Mark to anyone who needs his services. Thanks to Mark and the whole team. LEGENDS"
-
"The service we received from Mark and the rest of the Home Loan Shop team has been first class! We had a particularly stressful introduction to first-time home ownership, but Mark was always there to provide advice and navigate us through the process.over the last three months.His support has been invaluable in helping to get us to the finish line. He is an absolute star just like the rest of the team at the Home Loan Shop! We will be singing their praises to everyone we know :) Thanks again guys!"
-
"We arrived in NZ from the UK in 2008 knowing nothing of the NZ housing market or mortgage system. Laurie was fantastic, he gave us loads of great advice, put us in touch with a great solicitor and house surveyor and worked out a great mortgage deal for us. We return to the Home Loan Shop each time our mortgage is due for renewal and service has been fantastic each time... we will always use them and often recommend them to friends an neighbours. They provide a great service, communicate well and go that little extra step further to help you which is great and much appreciated."
-
"I highly recommend Mark Cook as a mortgage broker. Communication was excellent. I really appreciated how fast all my queries were answered, his advice about how to structure the loan and maybe most important, he negotiated very good rates with the banks."
-
"Greg was the person who initial got us started and guided us in the right direction, and Mark helped us all the way through it all...cant say enough about how great their service was from beginning to end. They shopped around and gave us a great offer and answered all of our questions we needed to know and then some. Would easily recommend you guys to others. Thanks again to Mark for the great advice and a special thanks to Greg."
-
"Mark helped me ll the way through the process of buying my first home, well beyond the brokering of my mortgage. I was always up to date with everything that was happening. Mark is a friendly, down-to-earth person who put my fears at ease and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend his services and those of the home loan shop."
-
"I simply can't speak highly enough of the service we received from Martin at the home loan shop. My partner and I recently purchased our first home - Martin took care of absolutely everything for us and made the process completely stress free. He had everything completely under control, negotiated fantastic rates for us and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He has also been genuinely encouraging and has provided us with sound advice for the future regarding our mortgage. It is clear that he is hugely passionate about his work - I will be strongly recommending him to all my friends and family - and anyone else looking to buy!"
-
"I was quite new to NZ and was not very sure about how to go about with buying a home. Martin was very helpful in providing me information and advise on the details and also did a lot to help secure very good deals with the mortgage with the bank. I am very pleased with his services and was actually recommended by a friend of mine who also really appreciates his services."

"Home Loan Shop can help your dream come true. We never think it is the time we can get investment property before meeting Martin Duncan. His professional service is outstanding. It took just two days our loan had been approved with really low rates. Martin is trustworthy and honest. Dealing with him will save your time and money. The main thing is he is not a sales man. What he is doing is providing high standard custom service and making you be looking after the whole process. We will highly recommend Martin and Home Loan Shop to everyone."
-
"Martin was fantanstic to deal with. He was professional, provided timely information, approachable, and got me a great deal. I can't recommend him highly enough."
-
"Martin’s service has been outstanding, after working through a tricky loan situation Martin got me the great result that I was looking for. His advice was excellent and I found him very trustworthy. I can’t recomment him highly enough and ecourage anyone looking for a great homeloan deal to give him a call. Even after the deal was done Duncan followed up to make sure that I’m still happy with the deal and offer advice on the best options for the future. Do yourself a favour and have a chat with these guys!"

"Thank you so much Martin for helping us into our first home. We still can't believe how fortunate we are and appreciate your help with this. You made something that we didn't think would happen, actually happen for us. You are a credit to your profession. Thank you for believing that we could do it. Cheers, Gayle and Dane"
-
"Martin was able to get me a superb deal on my first mortgage. Not only did he negotiate an excellently low interest rate, but he was also able to wrangle some extra, and much-needed money from the bank – without his help I wouldn't have been able to get the house that I wanted! Furthermore, I found Martin's advice excellent. His explanations on the details of mortgages were very clear. He made the purchase simple, and put me in contact with great people when it came to finding a lawyer, and getting an engineer's report. Martin was a huge help. Thanks!"
-
"Martin at The Home Loan Shop was fantastic. We went to him with no clue of how to start a home loan process and wanting to buy land then build it was a more complicated endeavor. Martin provided us with all the alternatives and different loan institutions, helped us with our insurances and communicated with out lawyers till the deal went through. Step one the land is complete and we are in the process of getting a build started. Very exciting. Martin also recommended the builder we eventually chose for the job. He has been helpful every step of the way and I wouldn't to hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a home loan or insurance advice."
-
"The service provided by Greg and the team was outstanding. The time taken to get to know us and understand what we were looking for, meant we were only presented with relevant information in a clear and accurate manner, and there was constant communication throughout. There were no surprises and dealing with Greg was an extremely positive experience. One that made an otherwise stressful situation, less so. I have no hesitation in recommending Greg to others."
-
"Simply outstanding! Will use him again and recommend these guys to anyone. They're honest & upfront, helpfull, & worked over their Xmas holidays without question. Simply the best!"
-
"Martin Duncan is amazing!. He understands the mortgage business, the banking industry and the real estate market. He brings industry excellence to the table, works very hard, and gets results. Plus he is upfront, honest, friendly and has wonderful manners! I recommend these guys to anyone looking to buy property."
-
"Martin is upfront and provides balanced advice. As new entrants to the homeloan market he guided us through the process from end to end, ensuring we understood the terminology and process to make informed decisions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Martin and the Home Loan Shop as quality service providers."
-
"Greg Scott (and the home loan shop team) went above and beyond what I expected from them. Their customer service is outstanding and they are excellent at their job. This is the second time I have used them and will do again in the future when I need to. They secured us the best deal I think you could possibly get and I would advise anyone who is buying (or thinking of buying) a house to contact them first. You will not find a more dedicated team or get a better deal anywhere else..........."

"Greg was fantastic. This is my first home and he patiently went through everything step by step for me and was willing to answer all my hundreds of questions. The whole team has been friendly and helpful throughout the whole process. I would have no problem at all reccommending them to anyone - in fact already have."
-
"Highly recommended. A great broker with TRULY honest and friendly advice without any pressure!!"

"Laurie Wills & Greg Scott were fantastic in assisting my wife and I. Their economic knowledge and professionalism is far superior to those working in the industry. Please don't hesitate in making an appointment with them. Cheers NV Morehu."

"Thanks for all your help and support concerning our balance transfer with a low interest rate. Martin and the Home Loan Team are professional and very friendly; their service and advise is the best by far I have used. I would highly recommend them to those looking for expert financial advise."
-
"Martin came up with a great solution for us. Genuinely felt he was acting in our best interests. Excellent communication and follow up."
-
"I have used Martin at the Home Loan Shop on multiple occasions and he has done an exceptional job each time. Martin goes well above and beyond the call of the average mortgage broker and is definitely a permanent part of my property planning team."
-
"I don't often recommend or rate people, but Greg at the Home Loan Shop provided me with the type of service that makes me want to refer my friends and family to him. He is extremely knowledgeable and was fantastic to deal with. I have a huge amount of trust and respect for him. Cheers, Tim."
-
"I couldnt say enough good things about Martin and the team at the Home Loan shop. Having had issues with BNZ and Kiwibank, we decided to try a mortgage broker instead. The Home Loan shop was recommended by a work colleague and we were really pleased with how things worked out. As first home buyers we found Martin approachable, friendly, professional and reassuring. Will be passing their details on to anyone who I hear is in the market for a mortgage. Thanks to all the team at the Home Loan Shop!"
-
"We currently are getting our house renovated. Martin has been dealing with the finances through the bank. He has been really good with this. By pointing us in the right direction and also arranging everything for us on time. He has a very nice personality and can cater anytime to come and meet us. I would definetly definetly recommend him to anyone at anytime with no problems."
-
"My family and I recently sold our home in Wellington to move to Auckland and we used Martin to organise our mortgage. Martin took care of the whole process and made this (by far) the easiest move we have ever had and to top it all off he managed to get us a very competitive rate! . I would highly recommend his friendly professional approach to anyone."
-
"We had availed Home Loan Shop's service in mid 2010. We primarily dealt with Martin Duncan and the office admin and recall that we received first rate service from them at all times be it a follow up on the documents, or the next step to take. There were times when we were lost in the procedures being first time buyers. Martin proactively guided us through simple 1-2-3 steps, and with the right advice. We were quite eager to listen to our trusted adviser's view points each time we shortlisted a property. An easy going down-to-earth professional, and someone who knows the market very well that's how we wish to describe him. Although we had good credit standing with the banks, we still preferred to deal with the banks through him. We are happy to recommend Home Loan Shop's services without hesitation."
-
"I thought Martin Duncan was great. He offered very good advice and saved me alot of time by not having to wade though all the mortgage providers. As it's my first property purchase it was reassuring speaking to someone who clearly knew what they were doing and took the time and effort to make sure that any queries that i had were answered promptly. It can be quite a scary process for a first time buyer, so i would definately recommend Martin to help you though the process."
-
"My husband and I were first time home buyers and had just moved to New Zealand from Canada. Martin, at the Home Loan Shop, clearly explained the process of purchasing our first home, helped us secure the funding required, and significantly reduced the stress of buying our first home in a new country. I would highly recommend him to anyone purchasing property."
-
"I would highly recommend Martin and the Home Loan Shop. He worked tirelessly to get us a mortgage when all the banks had turned us down. He listened to our concerns and was willing to take a risk with us. We have also received excellent follow up with the Home Loan Shop advising us on fixing our mortgage and gaining further equity. As first time home buyers Martin provided exactly the service we were looking for- at no cost to us!"
-
"My partner and I struggled to get finance for our first home, despite both earning good incomes we didn't have much of a deposit or a 'savings history'. We had found a house we liked but noone would lend us the full amount we needed. On a whim we walked into The Home Loan Shop and made an appointment to see Martin. He listened to our story and gave it to us straight. It wasn't going to be easy but if we really wanted the house he'd make it happen. The next couple of weeks we were in daily contact with Martin, finally we got there and managed to move in just before Christmas. After a fabulous year in our new house we heard from Martin again. He helped us refinance, now that we have some equity in the place and got us a great interest rate. He organised a valuer and a lawyer and kept us informed throughout the process. In an industry not known for its integrity and transparency Martin was a great find, we couldn't be happier with the service we recieved."
-
"Martin duncan at the home loan shop in wellington is simply the BEST. he helped me sort out my hose and mortagage - and also gave me help in financial areas that needed attention. was always on time and communication is a number one for him i am always always fully informed, and talked through any decisions that i have to make, he didnt mind when i said i didnt understand he explained it in another way without the help from this fantastic man - i am unsure of where i would be today . today i have my home - and my mortage at a manageable level and am enjoying my life. martin is always there to lend an ear and advise and he is one person i will always trust - when it comes to money this is very important especially when this is your home your investment and your livelyhood. i cant thank Martin enough for the great work he has done and continues to do for me and my kids. Thanks so much Martin!!"
-
"Back in 1995 my wife and weren't sure about mortgage brokers but a friend was adiamant we should try the Home Loan Shop. To be honest we felt obliged to. They were really excellent and we have since used them three times and I have recommended Gregg to many people. They understand what we are after, their advice has been sound and they have got us great rates."
-
"We were thoroughly impressed with the service of the Home Loan Shop. They were very professional, diligent and conscientous to work with. Our lending criteria did not fit the usual boxes however they were able to secure our loan at a very competitive rate. Our mortgage finance deal was better than our bank of 22 years could achieve! The pro's and cons of fixed or floating mortgages and the tax advantages were discussed with us in detail which enabled us to make an informed and intelligent decision regarding our best possible loan option. The Home Loan Shop's reputation is well deserved. Thank you for you friendly support and advice. It has been a pleasure doing business with you and we genuinely wish you well. Phil"

"Laurie and Greg helped my fianc? and I get into our first house, and the service they have provided (and continue to provide) has been fantastic. We were very clueless about the purchasing process, and over several meetings and many phone calls Laurie has been able to help us make informed decisions the whole way through as well as getting us a brilliant mortgage package. Every time a new hurdle or question mark came up - whether or not it was related to the actual mortgage - we were on the phone to Laurie. The final mortgage has saved us thousands, with not only a great rate but ALL low equity and other fees waived by the bank. I can't recommend these guys strongly enough, it's a free service so if you're even contemplating getting into the housing market give them a bell."
