First Home Buyer Experts

These guys are great. Make all the tricky stuff easy for you.

Great Team, made the whole process seamless and kept us updated throughout it all.

Thanks heaps will definitely recommend onto others!

Grant and his team made the entire mortgage process stress-free and easy. We weren’t the simplest case, having just moved back to NZ, but they navigated everything with expertise and secured us a mortgage with an excellent deal.

Grant was incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and patient throughout the whole process. He guided us every step of the way and made what could have been a very difficult experience feel easy.

We genuinely couldn’t have done it without him. We highly recommend Grant and his team to anyone looking for a mortgage advisor!

Had an awesome experience with the HelloYello team Kyle (Brownie) in particular. Would 1000% recommend this team and I will come back to the team again if ever needed in the future. I was informed the whole way through the application and knew what next steps had to be taken to continue. Thank you Brownie and the HelloYello team for getting my whānau (family) and I into our beautiful whare (house)

We've worked through multiple pre-approval / mortgage processes with other brokers over the years, HelloYello's has by far been the easiest. Grant is great to deal with, super prompt with communication, and he and the HelloYello team was able to get our needs met, with favourable lending approved within a tight timeframe. They have a great online portal, utilise video conferencing, and made the whole process super comfortable and stress free. Thanks again guys!

Grant and the HelloYello team are fantastic! We've used Grant twice now and both times the the advice has been incredibly helpful, timely and pragmatic. We will definitely use HelloYello again in the future!

Grant has helped me secure new mortgages several times over the past 10 years, between Hawkes Bay, Wanaka and Nelson. He is very knowledgeable, easy to deal with, and just an all round top bloke. This time round we also had help from Annie and Kyle who were also great. I Would highly recommend the HelloYello team to anyone considering a mortgage broker. Thanks team!

We loved working with Hello Yello, they were so helpful with our clueless questions and guided us through the process. Big thanks to Annie and Grant. Legends.

Grant and his team are fantastic to work with. We've worked with HelloYello on securing mortgages & refinancing on multiple properties now and each time the team has really put in the time and effort to get us the best outcome. Kyle was fantastic at communicating with us along the way as well. Great team, highly recommend.

Grant and the team are always super helpful and a pleasure to work with.

Superb team! No words are big enough to thank the team here ☺️ Best in the business 👌 I’m so pleased we were recommended to you! Communication was a big thing for us not having this from our previous Broker, but you went above & beyond than our expectations, so thank you ☺️ Sometimes small things matter the most. Thank you Grant 😁

Superb service - very knowledgeable team. Highly recommend!

Kyle was the best broker we have had; he did all the heavy lifting to get everything done, he works hard for you, recommend highly 10/10

We couldn't recommend HelloYello enough! Especially for first home buyers like us, they were super patient and knowledgable, happy to share insights about the process and were so supportive throughout, helping us feel confident and informed through some tricky aspects of our home buying journey. Kyle was especially great at proactively checking in, making sure we had everything we needed and helping us into our awesome first whare. Ngā mihi maioha ki a kōrua, thanks heaps!

The best! So helpful and knowledgeable
The team is great.

We only have good things to say about Hello Yellow. Their communication is on point, professional and timely.
Their service style is helpful, supportive and friendly.
I highly recommend these guys.

HelloYello are awesome Mortgage brokers!

Grant and his team were able to get our slightly complicated loan over the line with a better outcome than we'd even hoped for. We felt incredibly supported and well informed during the process.

We will definitely use HelloYello again should we need.
Can not recommend them highly enough!

I recently worked with HelloYello to do a refinance/bank change.
They were very proactive, getting in touch with me ahead of schedule to enable me to lock in a great rate with great cashback.
Very professional, easy to work with, and great people too.
Thanks a bunch 🙂

Grant and Kyle have recently helped us with the purchase of an investment property and refinance. They are so experienced in the process and made the whole experience a pleasure. I imagine without them it would be a stressful struggle. We look forward to working with them for many years to come.

HelloYello is comprised of best mortgage advisors who helped us buying a house. Grant and Kyle were very helpful throughout the process. They helped us from scratch to completion, provided the possibilities to get the loan approved, and to make our dream come true. If you want to buy a house please approach them without hesitation, they are always there to help. I wish them all the success.

Grant and the team are very switched on and helpful. The whole process of buying a first home made easy. Thanks Team!

Grant and the team have been amazing helping us sell and buy at the same time. Communications was brilliant and managed to get best possible deals on mortgages. By crunching all the complex numbers for us, and running multiple scenarios, we had a good grasp of what we could afford and ended up with our dream house. We couldn't be happier. It's quite isolating in the negotiation game when dealing with Real Estate agents and eye-watering numbers. Grant was a sound ear, always available for advice and talk us through. Thank you Grant!!

Thank you to Kyle, Grant and the whole team at Hello Yello. You made the purchase of our first home super easy. Great communication and professional advice. We could not have done it without you all. I would highly recommend speaking to the team if you are looking to secure a mortgage. Csilla and Gilly

Grant and his team were fantastic. Professional, responsive, and easy to work with. They explained everything clearly, moved fast, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Fantastic experience with the Team at HelloYello. The support,advice and communication is great. No question was a"silly" one and we felt the team were with us all the way throughout the process. Thank you HelloYello

Grant, Annie, Kyle, and the Hello Yello team are absolutely AWESOME! They made the entire house buying process stress-free and straightforward, and we’re so grateful for their support. If you’re looking to buy your first home and want professional, friendly guidance every step of the way, get in touch with Hello Yello - they're the best!

Grant and the team were awesome, they had loads of advice and were sure we got the best deal out there.

Working with Grant and his team was the best decision I have ever made. We have now done circa 5 transactions together, and it has been an absolute delight every time. No judgment, a lot of patience and very helpful advice every time.

The service from Brownie and Grant was unreal. We appreciated their ability to explain terms that were new to us and the prompt responses to our questions and concerns. Would definitely work with this team again.

We were lucky enough to work with Kyle & Grant. They helped us through every step of the home buying process - from bank loan applications, to our settlement date, and they’re still there to help us with anything and everything we need. Very grateful, and recommend to all.

I highly recommend Hello Yello. My mortgage brokers, Kyle and Grant, were fantastic — they explained every step clearly and kept me updated throughout the entire process. As a first-home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for better support. Thank you!

Grant and his team have helped me buy both my home, and a commercial property. With each mortgage application, Grant went above and beyond, to patiently answer my questions, and walk me through the process. Thank you Grant and Co!

We've had a great experience with Hello Yello, patient and knowledgable helping us restructure our loans. Highly recommend!

We recently worked with the HelloYello team on the sale of our home and purchase of a new family home. Grant, Brownie and the team made the entire process seamless from start to finish.

What really stood out to us was how personable and responsive they were. The team was always quick to come back to us with clear advice and reassurance. We felt genuinely looked after throughout the process.

We’re thrilled to now be in our new home, and we couldn’t have done it without their help. We've worked with Grant for several years now and we’d happily recommend HelloYello to anyone looking for knowledgeable, genuine and professional mortgage advisers.

Ryan & Lizzie

From the very first moment we met Grant, he made an amazing impression. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and just a genuinely nice guy. Working with him and Annie has been an absolute breeze.
They’re quick, efficient, and very informative. Their communication is excellent, and we’ve felt fully supported and well-advised throughout.
We honestly can’t recommend Grant and the Hello Yellow team highly enough!

We used HelloYello and were very happy with the service provided. Grant in particular took alot of his time to fully go through the process of helping us buy our first home in Auckland. Would definitely recommend for anyone - particularly those purchasing their own home like us.

We love working with Grant and his team, they make buying a breeze. We’ve worked with Grant for years, from refixing our mortgage to recently helping us prepare to sell in Hamilton and make the big move to the South Island. If packing up your house and kids to move 1,000km isn’t stressful enough, we also decided to do it all within three weeks of putting an offer on our house, probably the tightest timeframe possible! Grant and his team were all over it. They made sure we knew exactly what needed to be done and when, so everything was processed on time. Behind the scenes, they just made it all happen and kept things running smoothly for us. I couldn’t recommend HelloYello more - whether you’re exploring your options, buying, or refixing your mortgage, they are a team you can always rely on.

Grant and Kyle were absolutely amazing to deal with and we couldn’t recommend them highly enough. They super helpful through the whole process and made it as easy as possible for us to get into our new house.

We highly recommend Grant after working with him for several years. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable and experience mortgage advisor. Grant and his team made our whole mortgage process smooth and stress free.

Grant and the team at HelloYello have been fantastic to deal with. Incredibly knowledgeable, fast, friendly and funny. HelloYello the only place you should be thinking for your mortgage needs. Thanks team!

Grant & his team are fantastic! We've used them as first home buyers as well as refinancing. They're quick, efficient and super friendly! Grants knowledge is fantastic too. Highly recommend!

I am so happy that I found Grant and his team at HelloYello. I couldn't be happier with the nature and scope of advice that they gave me, as well as the months of ongoing support to me - in my search for our new home.

It is the simple truth that I would not have been able to purchase any property at all, without the professional and friendly guidance given to me throughout the entire process.

After thinking that owning my own home again was a goal so unattainable - I now have the Keys to our new Home - and it's been due to the efforts of the HelloYello team!! Thank you HelloYello, so very, very much 💐

We honestly cannot recommend Grant and his team enough. From the very beginning, he made what could have been an overwhelming and stressful process feel clear and manageable. We originally worked with another broker but didn’t feel 100% confident, so we made the switch to Grant and it was the best decision we could have made.

Grant took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all of our questions (no matter how small), and made sure we always understood exactly what was happening. As young buyers (21 and 24) going through a tricky buyout situation, it meant so much to have someone on our side who was knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely had our best interests at heart.

He guided us through the complexities, reassured us when things felt daunting, and went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on track. Thanks to him, we’ve now secured our first home, and we couldn’t be happier.

If you’re looking for a mortgage broker who is approachable, supportive, and absolutely knows his stuff, we would 100% recommend Grant and his amazing team.

Grant and his team, can’t say enough about these guys at Hello yellow. never pushed us into anything but really knowing there stuff made us feel like we where in good hands. Have used Grant a couple times and will keep coming back.

Such a good experience and demystified everything about buying our first home. Couldn't have done it without the HelloYello team. Thank you!

Reliable, trustworthy and knowledgeable. What you need in a mortgage broker. Would highly recommend

Nightmare of paperwork and logistics. Mind numbing conversations with banks. All this is sorted by HelloYello and then some! Great rates, great cash backs and great banter. If you are looking for a mortgage broker stop now and contact these guys. Thanks so much. We are so happy in our new forever home.

Grant at Hello Yello Mortgages was absolutely fantastic to deal with! From the very beginning, he brought fresh ideas and real creativity to the table. By thinking outside the box, he was able to secure lending for me that was far higher than I ever thought possible. His originality and problem-solving approach made all the difference in getting my deal across the line.

I am truly grateful for his support, professionalism, and determination. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, I can’t recommend Grant highly enough. He delivers excellent service with a unique way of thinking that sets him apart from the rest.

Grant was extremely helpful and prompty replied to any of our queries throughout the process of changing banks for our mortgage. He made the process very simple and stressful for us! Thank you Grant!

Grant and his team helped us acquire our new dream property. Dealing with banks and mortgages can be stressful, HelloYello almost makes it fun. We had a tight and competitive deadline sale situation that required some last minute increases to our offer (after hours) the team was there to help us, we couldn't have got it over the line without them. Can't recommend enough 🙂

The Team at HelloYello helped us through what can be a daunting process and made it seamless. We were able to buy our dream home due to their connections and expertise.

Much appreciated team thank you

Highly recommend.

Could not speak more highly of Grant and his team; his support and guidance through the purchasing process could not be faulted.

“Grant and his team were fantastic to deal with. They reached out in advance of our current mortgage rate expiry and listened to what we wanted. The team then came back to us a with expert advice and a good range of options before sorting everything out. No hassles or back-and-forwards with the banks, five stars for HelloYello🌟👌”

Grant and his team are the best in the business. Helpful, informative and will save you money.

Grant recently helped me to secure a mortgage for the purchase of my house. He was fantastic and very easy to deal with. Grant made the process incredibly easy and helped us to secure the best deal there was available. Highly recommended and I will be using his services again in the near future 👌👌

I can’t speak highly enough of the team at HelloYello for their outstanding support in helping me secure my Good Energy Top Up loan. From start to finish, the process was smooth, professional, and genuinely stress-free.

A special mention must go to Kyle Brown and Grant Stephens – absolute legends! Their communication was clear and timely, and they truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled efficiently and with care. They made what could have been a complex process feel straightforward and manageable.

It’s not often you come across a company that’s this committed to helping their clients succeed. If you’re looking for knowledgeable, friendly, and proactive people who genuinely want the best for you – HelloYello is the team to call.

Highly recommended – thank you again!

Grant and his team were nothing short of outstanding in helping us purchase our first home. We recently returned to NZ after over a decade overseas and were navigating a completely different home buying process. The laws and processes here were unfamiliar, but Grant made everything feel simple and stress free. He went above and beyond, guiding us through every step - nothing was ever too much trouble. Thanks to Grant and the team, we're now proud first home owners in Aotearoa. Couldn't recommend HelloYello more highly! 💛👏

We can't recommend hello yellow enough

Grant and his team were amazing with our recent home purchase. Guided us from start to finish and were on to it when some niggly issues arose right before auction. 10/10 would trade again.

Excellent service, thorough, trustworthy. Bought our first-home, happy to own a patch of land to raise our kids, and have his on-going service/support. 3 years on and Grant and his team still reaches us to offer us their services. Thank you!

10/10 experience with Grant and the team. Very responsive, thorough and always went the extra mile to answer questions and provide advice. Excellent communication and updates throughout the process. 100% would recommend.

Grant and his team have been nothing short of amazing! My partner and I recently purchased our first home and wouldn’t have picked anyone else to help us on the journey. It wasn’t smooth sailing (buying your first home never is!) but they were always there for when we had questions/reached out for help. 10/10 !!

Grant was a delight to work with. He made what was supposed to be one of life's most stressful and challenging experience of buying a first home, a seemless process. Every step of the way he was there for us. He explained these uncharted water to with ease and assurance. He continued to simplify and explain all steps, with dates deadlines and expectations which turned to the whole process into something so simple. The house completion went off without a hitch. Grant even referred ourselves to lawyers and eternal advise who where factastic to deal with. I will continue to use Grant into the future and refer friends and family alike. Thank you Grant!

Grant was great to deal with, he was very helpful in guiding us through the process and keep us updated regularly. we would definitely use him and the team again.

We have worked with Grant since 2019 - he helped us purchase our first home and upgrade to a new home a few years later. Grant is extremely efficient, knowledgeable and easy to deal with. His clear communication and quick turn around times make the process seamless & stress free. We look forward to many more deals with Grant!

Highly recommend Grant and the team at HelloYello if you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely dedicated to helping you through your home buying journey.

We found Grant and the team to be really knowledgeable and a huge help. They took away the admin of getting auction pre-approvals and were always really responsive.
Thanks again Grant.

We recently had the pleasure of having Grant and his team at HelloYello be our advisors to purchasing our first home, and it was a great experience.

We strongly recommend HelloYello for first home buyers, and without a doubt we will be returning customers for refixing.

Thank you once again!
