Begin your journey to your first home
For every Kiwi dreaming of homeownership, Opes First Home is your dedicated partner, guiding you step-by-step to make that dream a reality.
How can Opes First Home help me?
Sammy will personally guide you through every step, from selecting the ideal property to thoroughly carrying out due diligence.
01
Calculate your deposit
An adviser from Opes Mortgages will give you a call to calculate the deposit you’ll have available. You’ll talk about government grants, Kiwisaver, and cash savings.
02
Work out what you're looking for
Before you start your hunt, you want to ensure you know what you want as your first home. You’ll sit down with Sammy and establish your buying criteria. Things like property profile – 2bed, 3bed etc, desired area, layout, purchase timeline
03
Help you find the right property
After choosing a property, you have 10 days to confirm it's the right fit. Signing the contract is not final at this stage. During this period, you'll visit the development, meet with mortgage brokers, solicitors, and possibly the property developer. These professionals will assist in determining if the property suits your needs.
Who's Sammy?
What does it cost?
It’s free. Complimentary. No Cost.
Why?
The developer pays us a marketing fee when you confirm that the property is the right fit for you. Very similar to the way a mortgage broker gets paid by the bank.
