When Vee Sami began her journey to buy a home, she wasn’t sure where to start. With limited lending knowledge and hurdles around her deposit, the process felt daunting and at times, out of reach.
Everything changed when Vee received an email from MTF Mt Eden owner-operator Ishfaq Mohammed (Mo) introducing their new mortgage adviser services. Having already experienced MTF’s care and support with a personal loan, she felt a spark of hope and curiosity about what might be possible.
The real turning point came when she visited the MTF Mt Eden team.
“They welcomed me with such warmth and positivity – it gave me the confidence to restart my property search. They also introduced me to BNZ’s First Home Buyers Package, which I hadn’t known about before.”
With MTF Mt Eden’s mortgage advice, Vee’s dream of homeownership became a reality and today, she has a place to call her own.
“This is a great achievement in my life. Creating a home for my family makes me so proud.”
For Vee, this is more than bricks and mortar – it’s stability and belonging. One of the most meaningful parts of this milestone is knowing her young niece, who has autism, will one day have a permanent place to call home when she studies in New Zealand.
“Previously, we moved often with rentals and never felt settled. Now my niece will have a place she can always call home.”
Vee describes the service provided by the Mt Eden team as nothing short of exceptional.
“The MTF team feels more like family. That’s why I recommended them to my best friend – who, with Mohammed’s help, now has a home too.”
