Meet Campbell

Head Honcho

I’ve been told I should be a therapist… and some days being a mortgage adviser feels a lot like that! I’m there to listen, to put myself in your shoes, deal with any sticky financial situations, and perhaps just order those panicked house buying thoughts running through your head!

People seem to trust me as they would their GP… or a fireman. Perhaps because I say things straight and in language you can understand. I also lay out the options and let you choose one that makes sense. It’s you who has to pay the damn mortgage after all, so it’s got to suit you, not me.

The funny thing about the mortgage business is that not one of my clients really wants one! Instead, you want the house. The cool renovations. The new home in a better school zone. Or get a rental for your retirement… The mortgage? Just a means to an end, and that’s something I never lose sight of.

Apart from work, I like fly fishing. There’s something cool about flicking a piece of fur and fluff to a fish and having him take it. You should try it sometime. I also like wood chopping. You know, the sport where burly blokes use 7lb razor blades to chop big logs of wood as fast as they can. Catch me at the next A&P show.

I do have some qualifications behind all my talk – a BCom and a BSc at Auckland Uni, which was great fun, but no use since. Never mind. Like most things, you learn a heck of a lot more on the job. I’m married to Kirsty, the love of my life. We recently had our 16 year anniversary which is cool because a lot of marriages don’t last 10 minutes these days. We don’t have any kids, but we do have a fat cat called Bella.
