Great to share your insurance expertise with us tonight and hear you give some excellent tips for first home buyers
𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗛𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝘆𝗲𝗿𝘀 – Kudos to Rosalie McGuire and RJM Legal Limited - NZ for bringing together a team of professionals to help demystify the home-buying journey and share practical tips on getting onto the property ladder!
Being one of the presenters, I focused my presentation, on just THREE points.
✔ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 - Making sure your KiwiSaver is in the right fund to help preserve its value when it's time to withdraw for your first home.
✔ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 - Because it's arguably more valuable than your new home — it's what keeps the roof over your head.
✔ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 - By supercharging your KiwiSaver again to build a nest egg for retirement.
𝗔 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗻𝗲. And it was encouraging to see so many, take the time out to attend, ask questions and come away better informed about what is, for most of us, one of life's biggest financial commitments.
A big thank you to Bronwyn Peters (RJM Legal) for explaining the legal process, Lexi Jones (Counties Home Loans) for her insights into mortgage lending, Louise Moore (Barfoot & Thompson) for sharing her expertise on finding the right property and John Le Prou (Absolute Building Inspections) for highlighting the importance of knowing exactly what you're buying.
Great to be part of an evening helping first-home buyers take their next steps with increased confidence!
