CLIENT TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS
On the right track.
Nothing speaks louder than a customer's experience. Below are reviews from our most recent customers following their encounter with Kea Mortgages.
*****
"I have known Rene for some time (previously as our relationship manager at one of the banks that we use).
I have been in business for many years and am a director of four companies. René looked after our requirements energetically and very well. After he left the bank, (in the knowing that he was running his own brokerage), we approached him regarding some financing of a commercial property purchase. He made this transaction seamless and provided us with much better options than our own bank did, saving us money in this process.
René is dedicated to customer service, he calls anytime after hours that suits and takes calls in the same way, in order to facilitate easy communication at times that work. He uses software that one completes only once, without messy difficult forms. His software platform can easily be updated to accommodate changing circumstances over time.
We will continue to use René. I am of the view that his honesty and integrity is beyond reproach."

"Moving to NZ with the family over 7 years ago was a daunting task. We approached multiple banks and basically encountered a common theme of "computer says no". My accountant recommended Rene and his team. At first meeting I expected the same blah, blah, doom and gloom, world's crazy, sorry can't help. What I did get, was a professional who was focused on the "how can we". Not how can't we. Rene was amazing. Love the guy. If you want it done 110% and want to enjoy the journey, see Rene."
Adam Brennan, Versatile Rangiora

“Having worked with René for more than a decade, his service, advice and experience has been invaluable. The passion he has for business is infectious. If you’re in the market, you’d be wise to get in touch"

"When it comes to getting things done in banking, René is your man. René made the whole process smooth and looked at all the potential angles and efficient ways to structure the lending we did. He made the process easy (when I am sure it was a lot more complex behind the scenes). I would highly recommend René to anybody looking to lend."
Sam Stapley, Mayfair Luxury Hotels Limited

“René is outstanding - an excellent adviser with tons of knowledge in his profession and a great person to work with. He always gives you the right advice. You can’t go wrong after getting Rene’s advice. I would definitely recommend him to everyone.”

"I have known Rene for many years. There are few people with more experience or drive available to help borrowers secure the lending they need for their property or business."
Greg Martin, Arrowsmith Law

"Our broker is Rene Artz and I can't impress enough how amazing this guy is."
"We have experienced a few brokers now and the majority have left us feeling flat, disoriented and to be honest, scared because for newcomers and aged applicants to financing or refinancing, it truly is "one hell of a ride" that can keep you on the edge of your seat.
Rene is philosophical about the process and guided us through it with a comfortable ease. We never felt overwhelmed and in fact he encouraged an attitude that allowed us to just 'see where this goes - no anxiety.'
Rene is very discerning. He read us like a book and lets be real, you bare your soul when you go through these types of processes but he was so easy to talk to and we were able to berate ourselves and congratulate ourselves for the good and the not so good aspects about how we manage ourselves. Sometimes it's good to look in the mirror and really see what's looking back!
Our application was successful and not merely, but extremely successful. The chinks in our road have been smoothed out, financially we are unbelievably better off and a re-evaluation of our position has seen us become less wasteful and that matters a lot.
Are we happy? Definitely! No debt (bar our mortgage); a holiday planned overseas with the kids in October and smooth sailing during a rocky financial patch in NZ.
Can't thank you enough Rene and your name and reputation are always on the tip of my tongue to anyone who is lacking. Thank you very much for your assistance."
Rona & Mike Williams

“Working with René was a lifeline during our first home buying journey. As first home buyers, we really underestimated the amount of work that would be required from us to secure our first home. Thankfully, René was very patient and thorough, and I always felt comfortable asking him the (many) dumb questions. He was very responsive, even in the late hours of the night (sorry René). We're grateful for his expertise and experience, and particularly in his forward-thinking approach that considers tomorrow's needs alongside today's plans. We look forward to continuing to work alongside René.”

"It was an absolute pleasure to have René as our mortgage advisor, in helping us with both residential and commercial lending. He has extensive knowledge and experience in both these fields and brings a top class professional service. He thinks outside of the box and comes up with tailor solutions to suit your property journey from what it is now and what it can be going forward into the future."

"René was instrumental in facilitating the purchase of our business, while working at Westpac. René's expertise and dedication ensured a smooth process from start to finish. His professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction set a high standard for service in the industry. We highly recommend René for anyone seeking exceptional banking financial support, especially for complex transactions like business acquisitions."
