Campbell at Hastie Mortgages is a truly exceptional Mortgage Advisor. He has a genuine passion and care for what he does. We first met Campbell several years ago when building our first home and he helped us secure our first mortgage. We were a tricky situation and he somehow managed to make it all work for us.

Recently we found out dream home for sale so we got back in touch with Campbell to see if he could help us again. I wasn't confident this could even be possible. This time we were selling and buying so there were lots more variable and things to consider. He turned what I expected to be a stressful, daunting experience into an empowering one with an incredible outcome of us being able to own our dream home!

One of the best things about working with Campbell was how much we learned along the way. He explained each step of the process and I've now got a much clearer understanding of interest rates, loan terms, and how different mortgage options impact my financial future. He took the time to ensure we felt informed and comfortable every step of the way.

So thanks to Campbell and Hastie Mortgages, we not only secured a fantastic mortgage deal and were able to buy our dream home, but also gained financial insights that will benefit us for years to come.

If you're looking for someone who truly cares, takes the time to educate, and works tirelessly to get you the best possible outcome, please give Campbell at Hastie Mortgages a call.

Cam and the team at Hastie Mortgages have been outstanding for us as First Home Buyers, it was a long process (18 months) as we didn't want to differ too much from what we wanted, specific suburb with a list of non-negotiables. We went through a number of Auctions, Multi-offers and dodgy Real Estate Agents over a dozen houses we had a serious crack at. When we were down and thinking of giving up, Cam was there to offer support and advice and we kept plugging away. He navigated through all the Bank stuff, allowing us the freedom to go out and house hunt. His Skills, Knowledge of the industry and more importantly the process, made this an amazing experience. If you are unsure if you are ready, give him a buzz and have a chat. Its worth it.

Campbell & the team have been incredibly helpful in making an extremely daunting and anxiety provoking experience (buying our first home) feel seemless. They are so down to Earth too - which makes this experience a lot easier. Campbell has been so great in answering all of our questions in a timely and non-judgemental manner. We've learnt so much about the realities of buying a house, how to best manage our money and the steps and processes (open homes, lawyers, real estate agents, having a first mortgage, rates, banks & all of the jargon attached). It's been so amazing to have a go to person who we truthfully feel has our best interest in heart. 100% recommend!!!

Campbell and the team were fantastic! They made the whole mortgage application process so simple, explained everything really clearly throughout the whole process, and were always available to answer any questions. I would highly recommend Hastie Mortgages to everyone (and have already done so!). Thank you so much to Campbell and Kirsty - we really appreciate all you did for us.

As first time home buyers we were nervous about the process. Campbell and Jo were easy to work and communicate with. They put us at ease, and answered all our questions without missing a beat. Felt very comfortable with the Hastie team. Highly recommend.

Cam from the Go2guys helped us with the refinancing of our home and rental property. From the get-go, Cam was professional and knowledgeable and great to deal with. The application was fairly quick and painless. After getting a pre-approval from our existing bank to increase our lending, Cam did all of the legwork in contacting other banks to get the best deal. The end result exceeded our expectations and we don't believe that we would've achieved this had we approached the banks directly ourselves. Thanks Cam for all your hard work! P & D, Auckland

We previously, we worked with another broker and felt disheartened by the process, as we didn’t feel heard or involved. Hastie Mortgages, however, completely exceeded our expectations. Campbell, our broker, along with his team, went above and beyond to ensure we understood every step of the process and explored all our options. They were quick to respond to calls and texts and really came to our aid when we were putting in an offer on our house. Our experience with Hastie was exceptional, and we’ve already recommended them to friends and family.

We recently had the pleasure of working with Campbell and the team, and the experience was exceptional.
From our initial meeting, Campbell went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed. He was incredibly patient and always willing to answer our many questions, and explain each step in terms we could easily understand, giving us confidence and peace of mind.
Also navigating us through the complexities of loan options, interest rates and helping us secure the best possible deal for our situation.
Thank you so much.

Campbell and the team at Hastie Mortgages have been amazing in helping me become a first home buyer. My situation was overwhelming, involved several parties, and didn't seem to tick all the boxes at the start. It took someone like Campbell that could see possibilities and find solutions. He has been so helpful on a professional level but also so kind on a personal one. I am very thankful he took the challenge on board.

I don't think you could ask for better brokers than Campbell, Kirsty and the team at Hastie mortgages. We were first home buyers and Campbell was patient, thorough, and responsive with us throughout the process. In contrast to speaking with a mortgage manager from the bank, all information from Campbell was super clear so we could make informed decisions ourselves which is what we wanted. We also really valued the support given when we began viewing properties and still had many more questions. Thanks team!

We recently purchased our first home, and we could be more grateful for the amazing service provided by Paula and the team at Hastie Mortgages. Paula was incredibly supportive and resourceful, always available to answer our questions and guide us through each step. Paula's kindness and genuine nature made the entire process smooth and stress-free.

We highly recommend Paula and the team at Hastie Mortgages to anyone looking for a mortgage broker who is not only professional but also genuinely cares about their client's needs.
Thank you Paula, and the team, for making our first home purchase such a positive and memorable experience!

Friendly and walked us through each part of our mortgage for our first home, so glad we chose to use Hastie Mortgages instead of trying to figure it all out ourselves!

Fantastic team to deal with! Campbell and Jo at Hastie Mortages helped us get into our first home. They walked us through the whole process and provided invaluable advice that you just do not get dealing direct with the bank. Tailoring the mortgage structure to best suit our needs 👌Communication and follow up even well after getting into our home has been amazing. Thanks again guys, Liam & Camryn

Campbell, Jo (actually the whole team) are fantabulous to deal with. Pragmatic, practical advice and enthusiastically efficient. Chased the bank and overdelivered. Couldn't ask for a better service and nicer people. Easy peasy

Campbell and the team at Hastie Mortgages were fantastic. They were easy to deal with and handled all the detail while I could focus on finding and buying our new home. In the past I'd dealt with the bank directly but this was much easier. I got regular updates and check in phone calls from them to see how things were going. They were an amazing listening ear that helped me with much more than just my mortgage. I can't thank them enough for all their hardwork and would recommend them to anyone.

Campbell and Jo are superstars. If it wasn't for them we wouldn't be living in the house we are now. At the very last minute when we were struggling with the bank Campbell came in, took it off our hands, sorted it and got it past the finish line. It was exactly what we needed and I will always be grateful. Wonderful team and service. I highly recommend them.

Sam Sykes

1712183420

Campbell is good at what he does.
I would use him again anytime. I thought it was easy to speak to the bank and approach them direct, how wrong I was, it was like they were speaking a different language, and I was not understanding half the things they were asking me for. I gave up and went through Campbell. he got answers and got us to the finish line a lot quicker than I could have on my own.
Cheers Sam Sykes

Paula & the team at Hastie Mortgages have been absolutely amazing. Our journey took 12months from the initial conversation about whether we could buy, through to selling a house and buying another. As stressful as house buying can be the team at Hastie do what they can to alleviate as much of that stress and more.
We've learnt so much and are absolutely grateful for the guidance and advice provided. Can't thank the team enough!

Thank you for always being professional, approachable, reachable and super knowledgable - we appreciate you very much and will be recommending your services to all our friends & family. Jan & Esmari

We worked with Paula from the moment we arrived in New Zealand. Paula guided us through the process, as we were new to the country we needed a lot of support and guidance. I found Paula's service and the rest of the team at Hastie exceptional. We are now living in our dream home thanks to them.

Campbell and team are amazing! We had no idea where to begin when purchasing our first home, but Campbell sat down with us, explained how everything works and guided us throughout the process until we settled on our home. We couldn't have done it without them!

Campbell made the whole first-home-buying process less terrifying and confusing. He demystified everything from start to finish and always made us feel positive about every step of the way. There's no way the journey to getting into our first house would have been as enjoyable without his guidance. So stoked he was recommended to us. Thank you!

Campbell really helped us get our hopes up and realized that we could actually afford our first home and within a reasonable timeline. He explained everything clearly with what things we are doing right in our budget and what things we could improve on. I would highly recommend Campbell to anyone looking for a first home, he is very understanding and even got excited with us when we said the deal went through.

Our first time using a mortgage broker. Cam and his team took great care of us, found us the right mortgage, and shepherded us through the process. Very friendly, approachable, and professional. I had always thought going direct to my bank would get me the best deal, but Cam found us a much better offering through another bank. We needed to extend our approvals a couple of times, and the Hastie team did all the heavy lifting for us, and kept us informed at every stage. Fantastic service, and didn't cost us a thing!

Jason Bayly

1668990554

We have found the Hastie team knowledgeable and very professional to deal with. With all the new legislation to go through it is well worth having an expert team that knows their stuff to guide you through. I have no hesitation in recommending the team at Hastie Mortgages to look after your financial needs!

Whether it’s your first home, your forever home or something in between, buying a house is always a bit of a roller coaster. Campbell and his team have seen it all, & are prepared for it all. Our family has been relying on them for over a decade. The team provides straight-talking, straightforward advice, which is exactly what you need in such a changeable market. And, if you are unlucky enough to find yourself in a wee crisis on settlement day, we can honestly say there’s nobody better to have on the other end of the phone than Team Hastie. Thank you Cam, Jo, Kirsty and the rest of the team - we love our new home!
