Get a coach and a game plan.

Every Aera coach is a registered financial advisor and mortgage broker who knows what it’s going to take to secure you the big tick from the bank. They develop your personal fast track to your first home in half the time.

Get a Game Plan, get a house.

Working with your First Home Faster team, we’ll plan out the fastest way to get into your own home.

Our 100% focus is to tell you straight to your face what you can actually get so you can get home, in half the time and not waste precious years renting.

Why is being fast so important? Because house prices go up on average 6-7% a year so you’re in a race against time. The house you want today, could need 40% more deposit in 5 years. Need to be convinced? Read this.

With the Aera app, your First Home Coach and a First Home Finder we cover everything you’re going to need to find that perfect first home and have the finances ready to buy it. 

Most people we speak to don’t realise they are much closer than they think - the average early-30s Kiwi couple is less than a year away from a first home. 

You probably think you know what you want, but do you know what you need? There’s a big difference and knowing it is key.

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

‍An Aera Game Plan is a game changer.

People have debt. We work out the good from the bad and help you take action quickly.

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

We all have things we don’t always need to have.

At Aera, we want to help you focus on your need to own your first house.

Your team takes your mindset for a work-out, making suggestions and pushing you to think outside the box.

Doing the heavy lifting now will cut years off building that deposit - which is what we want. 

We work with the banks every day and know what they’re looking for to get the best mortgage for you. And we share the commission they pay us with you. 

Getting this right is Bank Fit and Mortgage Ready. 

It’s proving to a bank that you are ready to cross the finish line.
