I’m Eddie Biesenbach — a Tauranga mortgage broker with 20+ years’ experience. I come to you (home, work, after hours) and help you get approved faster — whether you’re buying, refinancing, or investing.

Banks have strict rules — especially in Tauranga where:
Coastal properties (Papamoa, Mount Maunganui) need extra insurance checks
Older homes (Greerton, Otumoetai, Bethlehem) need Healthy Homes compliance
New builds (The Lakes, Pyes Pa) require correct valuation + construction structures
Self-employed clients need exact income presentation
I check every one of these BEFORE the bank sees your application — saving you weeks of delays and the risk of decline.
I design the structure that fits your goals — fixed, split, interest-only, offset, revolving credit, or a mix.
I package your application so banks can’t misunderstand your income, deposit, or credit.
Local lenders vary in policy — I match you to the bank that will approve 5–10% deposits.
We’ll guide you through using KiwiSaver or applying for First Home Grants in the smartest way possible.
I compare 15+ lenders and negotiate on your behalf — often saving clients $300–$600 per month.
Every year when rates roll over, I review your structure for free. No bank does this for you.
Josh & Miriama — Mount Maunganui
Their bank declined them due to “inconsistent income.” I repackaged their application, added income explanations, and matched them with a lender that supports variable income.
Result:
Approved in 4 days.
Saved $168 per fortnight.
Refinanced into a better structure 12 months later.

A mortgage broker compares home loan options across banks and non-banks, then helps you apply, negotiate, and get approved. At Best Mortgages, we work for you — not the lender — to find the right structure and rate.
Nope — most of the time our service is 100% free. We’re paid by the lender after settlement. If a situation requires a fee (rare), we’ll tell you upfront.
Yes. We work with flexible non-bank lenders that understand self-employed income, low deposit buyers, or complex situations. We often get approvals where banks say no.
All of them. We work with clients in Papamoa, Mount Maunganui, Bethlehem, Pyes Pa, Welcome Bay and anywhere in the Bay of Plenty — in person or online.
If your documents are ready, we can often get pre-approval within 3–5 business days — sometimes faster with the right lender.
Real answers. No pressure. 100% free expert guidance to get you sorted.
