I'm Peter Norris, the Managing Director at Opes Mortgages, a mortgage advisory firm fully owned by Opes Partners. With over a decade of experience in the industry, I've dedicated my career to helping investors and home buyers secure financing for their properties.
My journey began with five years at BNZ, where I worked my way up from a teller to a branch manager. I later co-founded my own business, which merged with Squirrel, where I continued to excel as a mortgage adviser and eventually became Managing Director for almost five years.
In addition to my advisory work, I'm also a frequent writer for Informed Investor Magazine, and I've contributed to Property Investor Magazine. Throughout my career, I've concentrated on property investment, having facilitated over $1.2 billion in lending for more than 2000 clients. I hold a Financial Advice level 5 certification and have received accolades, including BNZ Mortgage Adviser of the Year in 2018 and recognition as one of NZ Adviser's top advisers in 2022.
My journey, from my early career to leadership roles, highlights my dedication to excellence and expertise in mortgage advisory.
