FINANCIAL PLANNING

To get ahead financially one of the first and most important steps is learning how to best manage your money. After working with thousands of clients over the years we have found most people have some form of financial goal, whether it be pay off debt, upgrade the car, go on yearly holiday’s, buy a house or buy multiple properties.

The first step of any financial planning is to break it down and understand where you are at from there you can put together the appropriate action steps to achieve your financial goals.

Get a Financial Plan

We have built an incredible tool which breaks down debt, expenses and helps you understand and manage your money better.

We get approached by hundreds of people every year wanting to figure out how to get in to their first home, our Financial Planner allows us to break down the steps for our prospective first home buyers and make the process that much more obtainable. Unlike banks and many brokers, as soon as you engage with us we are committed to helping you achieve your goals. We don’t believe in the word “No” instead it’s always yes, whether that be yes you can buy a home in 12 months, or yes you can buy a home in 5 years, either way we will never turn people away, instead we work with them to get to the point of “Yes, you can buy now”.

Whether you are just after a copy of our Financial Planner to get going yourself, or you are looking for in depth sessions and ongoing accountability we are the team for you. We are driven by helping people succeed, so if you are ready to get ahead, we are committed to helping you. Consider us you Financial Personal Trainers.

Planning for Retirement

Many people do not have a plan for retirement, and while it may seem like a long time away for most of us, it is never too early to start understanding what is required to live the life we want to when we retire. People are living longer and longer now, meaning we are faced with having to plan to financially support ourselves for possibly 30 or more years past 65. Making it one of the largest financial commitments of our lives. We have an awesome and interactive tool that helps us determine what you need to retire comfortably and allows us to map out the pathway to get there. From there we help you take action and work towards a happy retirement.

Asset Finance

Short term debt such as personal loans, hire purchase and credit cards are a regular part of many people’s lives. Unfortunately, most people we come across are paying high interest rates on unsecured debt in a variety of forms making it harder and it taking longer to pay off. Securing your debt against some form of asset allows you to bundle your debts in to one easy repayment and securing an often much better interest rate. Saving you money immediately in repayments and helping pay down your debt sooner.

Or maybe you are looking at taking out a new loan and what to explore your options and nab a great rate

Either way, with the help of our industry partners we can help you with secured loans for whatever it is you are after. Have a chat to one of our team today to find out more.

Matt Has provided me some great information on both my kiwi saver and insurance. He was able to save me money as well as get me more coverage on my current policy. His kiwi saver information was fantastic. Matt took the time to understand my needs and morals around where my money would be invested and provide me a couple of options to look at. If you want someone who has lots of information up to date on technology and provide you honest and good results Matt is your guy

This is now the second time I have used Matt for his financial services and he delivered again in a rough period for banks lending too. I would definately recommend him to anyone looking for a broker as he makes the whole mortgage process very simple. Thanks Matt for all the amazing work you have done for us!

Using Matt and his team was a game-changer. From the get-go, their clarity in communication and promptness in response stood out. Their in-depth knowledge of products across home loans, insurance and KiwiSaver gave me the confidence that I was making the right choices. The cherry on top? Their warm and welcoming nature that made the entire process feel like a breeze. A great experience from start to finish – can't recommend them enough!

A couple of years ago Matt showed me an amazing spreadsheet which led to me buying another house which I’m about to settle. Everyone should know what Matt taught me. He and his team have been amazing with their advice and facilitation of everything. Can’t speak highly enough about Matt and his team.

Patient and knowledgeable. Matt guided us through our first home purchase and, a few years later, organised insurance for the family (with a pretty non-standard situation and series of requests). Thanks again!

I absolutely 100% recommend Matt. Not only is he damn good at what he does, Matt also humanises the whole industry and process. Before Matt was my broker I found everything so daunting but Matt made everything easy and took so much stress off me - giving so much help, guidance and simplifying every step of the way. Most importantly, he made getting my dream home happen!

Matt is a highly efficient professional. He’s a pleasure to deal with and was very helpful in coming up with a plan that suited our situation.He’s an investor himself so can provide sound advice around building a property portfolio unlike a lot of brokers who only know loans and insurance.I highly recommend his services and look forward to using Matt again for our next investment property.Thanks mate 😁

Matt is an excellent financial advisor who guided us through the tricky process of securing our mortgage. Very thorough and professional, yet friendly and relatable would be how I would describe Matt’s approach.

We were over the moon when we found out our finance had been approved for this beautiful home. We purchased a home for our parents as they were getting the boot out of their rental and it was important that we gave them a stable home. Would definitely recommend these guys and will return.Thanks again Matt

Wow what can I say, my first home buying went so much smoother than I ever imagined! I knew absolutely nothing about mortgages and Matt had explained everything in terms I could totally understand. He made the whole process smooth and seamless, without much work from us because him and his team had done it all! Thank you so much for everything you've done so far 🙂

Matt was easy to work with and did a great job of negotiating good rates for our mortgage. Our pre-approval came through really quickly thanks to Matt and his team. We found the advice received on how to structure the mortgage very clear and helpful.

I will recommend Matt to everyone. My partner and I owe him for helping us get into the Auckland property market. Not only is he professional, simplifies the daunting process of purchasing a home. He is always a phone call away when you have any questions (very quick in returning a call).When issues or concerns were raised by the bank, Matt went into fight for us and got us across the line.Thanks Matt, five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I had a 3year goal in place to buy our first home. A friend of ours told us about Matt Willoughby so i sent him a text. Matt and his amazing team were able to help us buy our first home in less than 6months. What seems impossible quickly became a reality for us.Although a few hiccups on the way, matt was able to quickly fix it and inform us along the way. Ive seen people go through this process of buying a home and being stressed, but our experience was great! absolutely recommend Matt and his team.Thanks again Matt and team for helping us.

We would not have been able to fulfill the kiwi dream and buy our first home if it was not for Matt Willoughby Ltd. They respond quickly and were able to communicate in a way that let us understand the entire process. Will use again for any lending in the future.

Matt Willoughby you have helped both me and my partner so much! You have exceeded all expectations and gone above and beyond! Matt helped me and my partner re-finance our mortgage he helped us with everything! It was a struggle as it felt like everything that could go wrong went wrong but he persevered and not only got us a "good" interest rate he got us the BEST interest rate and the BEST repayments. I would highly recommend Matt as he makes the impossible happen and doesn’t pass that stress on! Matt you are amazing take credit you deserve this so much you literally ease the stress and you take the weight off your client’s shoulders! You have done an amazing great job Thank you SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH 100+ Stars 🙂
