Get a coach and a game plan.

Your Coach will develop your personal fast track to your first home using the Aera Playbook™.

Get a Game Plan, get a house.

Working with your First Home Faster team, we’ll plan out your first home journey.

You probably think you know what you want, but do you? Is it achievable?

We’ll tell you straight to your face the fastest way to get what you can actually get.

Being real is really important.

Aera members have access to First Home Coaches, Financial Trainers and First Home Finders.

Together, we’ll work out the best path to take, and as a team what we need to do to do it faster.

People have debt. We work out the good from the bad.

People think they want three beds and a study, but do they? It’s changing perspectives on what a first home is.

People’s savings aren’t working nearly hard enough. It’s making the most of every dollar  and how to supercharge it.

A Game Plan will be a game charger.

Get Bank Fit.

Banks can be picky on who they give home loans too.

Working with an Aera Financial Coach, we go through your accounts and structure them to what banks like to approve.

This has to be done in advance of approaching banks, as they like to see a history of transactions and positive actions.

Each day, we deal with the major banks in New Zealand and know how far we can push them.

Also, our members would have worked with a First Home Coach. So their accounts are dripping with the positive information that ticks all the boxes for banks.

They want to lend to our members, offering the lowest rates because they’re seen as great investments.

Get Mortgage Ready.

Do you have the right stream of income to cover your outgoing expenses? Getting this right is Mortgage Ready. It’s proving to a bank that you are ready to cover the mortgage payments.

We all spend money on things we don’t always need. At Aera, we want to help you focus on your need to own your first house.

To do this, we hook you up with a First Home Coach.

They take your budget for a work-out, making suggestions and pushing you to think outside the box.

To help you spend less and earn more.

Doing the heavy lifting now will cuts years off building that deposit.

Today is the day to get your first home.
