Client feedback shapes the top 25 in the country

Despite increasing availability of digital platforms and self-service lending tools, many New Zealand borrowers continue to engage mortgage advisers when arranging home finance. Recent lending figures suggest that demand for professional advice remains resilient amid market fluctuations – and now the cream of the crop has been recognised.
NZ Adviser recognises top brokers based on client feedback
Reflecting the ongoing relevance of advisers in the mortgage process, NZ Adviser has released its Top 25 Brokers 2025 report.
The annual initiative acknowledges mortgage professionals across New Zealand who have been recognised by their clients for quality service and consistent support throughout the lending journey.
Unlike rankings based solely on loan volume or settlement numbers, this report is centred around client satisfaction.
From March 10 to April 4, NZ Adviser conducted a national nomination process, inviting clients to rate their brokers against six performance metrics, including communication, loan structuring, and follow-through.
Only brokers who received the highest number of nominations and scored an average rating of 9.0 or above were selected for the final list.
