Loan Market Adviser in Porirua, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, Hutt Valley and surrounding areas.
Mortgage lending and personal risk insurance can be intimidating, knowing or understanding the options available to you isn’t easy.
Which is why I work closely with my clients every step of the way, giving them “choices” so that they can make informed decisions, and then I can make the process as seamless and stress free as possible.

First Home Buyers
Buying your first home can be an intimidating process. My approach is to put the fun back into the journey by explaining each and every step as it is about to arise, whilst also ensuring you have the best lender and structure to make your home ownership a breeze.
Home Loans
There are many elements to making a home loan the right one for you. I help to streamline and explain your options to make your decision making process clearer and easier leading to more comfort in your home buying decision.
Self Employed
Running around the banks can rob you of precious time better focused on your business. I help to identify your abilities for home lending and put the best options in place. I then continue to manage your mortgage in the long term with you, all while you concentrate on what matters most...your business.
Refinancing
Whether you’re looking to review your current lending options, release equity to go on that much needed holiday, do home renovations or consolidate debt, I am here to help.
Insurance
When making the biggest purchase of your life it is essential to consider what your “Life Event” options are. I help to identify potential risks and offer solutions so that you can make an informed decision that is best for you and your family

"Take the stress out of mortgage managing and hand it over to Bernadette (Loan Market).... The first phone call with Bernadette was the best phone call we ever made. Nothing more stressful than trying to wade your way through the "minefields" of mortgages and then trying to figure out what is the best one for your situation, impossible tasks for some of us so we gave to the expert!!. We wanted to sell two properties, buy a new one and consolidate debts all at the same time and Bernadette took us through the entire process confidently and successfully. She provided solid information on what we could achieve by changing the way we manage our finances and no more panicking for us when mortgage rates are up for renewal, Bernadette has got this!! We cannot say enough about the services Bernadette provided and we highly recommend giving her a call whether you are trying to buy your first home or up to your 3rd or 4th home because she will take out all of the stress and get you the best possible deal....even when you least expect it."

Buying a house is a very stressful process and Bernadette took us under her wing and made it as easy and as simple as possible. She is very genuine so we were able to trust that she was doing everything she could for us.

Could not have done this without you!
