Nothing ever seems to be the slightest trouble, meeting at venues and times that are convenient to you and explaining everything clearly and concisely.”

    L & CAdviser: Kim Lyons
  • “We are so pleased with the help and advice we received from Kim. We were very unsure about how we could sort our finances out and had been turned down by the bank. Kim was extremely helpful and so easy to deal with. We conducted almost all the correspondence via email, which made things much easier for me. Kim made everything very easy and really reduced our stress at a difficult time. Thank you for your great service.”

  • “Having dealt with Kim Lyons from First Rate Mortgages & Non Bank Ltd, I highly recommend his services. He was easy to work with and was able to arrange my facility easily, all done by email & phone. With me being in the South Island and Kim in Auckland one would assume the task at hand to be difficult, not so, it all came together easily. Kim also understands the difficulties presented by banks, when self employed people wish to raise funds to purchase property. Once again I highly recommend his services, and would certainly use him again if the need arose.”

    Malcolm, south IslandAdviser: Kim Lyons
  • “We had the good fortune to meet with Kim Lyons, following a google search. Kim was diligent, informative and determined to help get us back into the property market, following our bad experience with a leaky home. Throughout the entire process we were kept informed of developments. Kim was also great in negotiating the way through obstacles that presented themselves. I have no hesitation in recommending Kim Lyons. His integrity speaks for itself.”
