Having spent my career educating people on financial literacy and business, I’m here to help you find the right loan and structure for your needs.

Before becoming a Mike Pero Mortgage Adviser, I taught tertiary education courses on investment research, personal financial management, and managed my family’s investment fund for 15 years. I use this knowledge to support retirees to understand if a reverse mortgage is right for them, help first home buyers navigate the process of a property purchase, and assist investors grow their property portfolio.

I aim to give clients the information they need to make informed decisions and reach their goals. So, if you’re looking for support on your lending journey, my strategic approach can help.

I live with my wife and two teenagers, and love completing road cycling challenges. So far, I’ve cycled up Japan’s Mt Fuji in the snow, Te Mata Peak in Hawke's Bay, and Whakapapa near Taupō.
