Read this first

We asked thousands of people for their recommendations on mortgage brokers they loved.

Then, we called all of them.

We dug deep, asking how they work, who they partner with, and all the questions only someone obsessed with finding the perfect fit would ask

Why did we do this? With over 2,000 mortgage advisors out there, we knew it wasn’t about just choosing a brokerage — it was about finding the right person. We wanted someone we could trust: an advisor experienced with clients like us, highly recommended by real people, and genuinely invested in our success, not just the one with the biggest ad budget.

Then we thought, "Why not make this into a site other Kiwi home-seekers could use?"
