Scott Deserves An Oscar
I met this guy named Scott at 6:30pm in their Mike Pero office in Nelson. There was this positive vibe I could feel the moment he stood up of his chair and introduced himself.
He asked me what I do for a living, my finances, savings, expenses, other sources of income, etc. After a few minutes of talking, he told me I can borrow $6**,***. He said, "Start looking for a property and I'll get you that money in 5-7 working days". I had no plan of spending that amount but I was quite delighted to know that was on the table.
Five to six working days after my wife and I submitted all the required documents, we got a pre-approved loan from the bank. You couldn't be happier than that. Note: I'm a sole earner with three kids but with no debts at all, and have set aside money for 20% deposit, not relying on my KiwiSaver which was just $19k.
On settlement date, there was a gift basket left on the deck of our house. We didn't open it until the 2nd or 3rd day. It contained a bottle of wine, flowers, chocolates, etc. All along my wife and I thought it was from the real estate agent. To our big surprise, it was from Scott & Devina Jackson. Never in our wildest dream we expected something from Mike Pero. We paid initial 10% deposit to the agent. We paid our lawyer. However, not a single penny for Scott for his service. So it didn't make sense to us to receive a beautiful welcome basket from them. If it wasn't for the little card in the basket which I opened 2-3 days later, we would've not known it came from them.
Scott & Devina, the fridge magnet you gave us will stay in our fridge for years to come.
All the best!
Thank you,
The Brace Family

Scott Jackson - a SUPERSTAR
From the moment we contacted Scott Jackson, everything was easy! He gave us all the information and advice we needed, and took care of everything. Communication was so easy, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free.
Thank you so much, Scott!
Dealing with Scott and Devina was like a walk in the park
Dealing with Scott and Devina was like a walk in the park, very easy to communicate with and very quick to reply to myself and my wife if we were ever in need of support or information.
Super reliable and made the whole process of enabling us to buy our first home super easy and stress less, also I thought it was very impressive that they continued to work and be in contact with us whilst they were away on holiday in Japan.
Truly a great experience to work with them both and would highly recommend their services to anyone.

Extremely helpful and friendly.
Working with Scott was a fantastic experience.
Being first home buyers, purchasing a home seemed like such a daunting endeavor. However Scott made it as simple and straightforward as buying a coffee. He always took the time to explain the finer details and did so without us feeling like we were asking silly questions. All this made for a stress-free process.
I genuinely cannot recommend him high enough!
Again, thank you Scott!
Couldn't have asked for more.

Would recommend Scott over & over again
Scott was amazing to work with. He was very knowledgable, explained things in a way that was easy to understand and was excellent with fast communication!
He made the whole process smooth and stress free, keeping us in the loop and letting us clearly know what step was next and instructions he needed us to complete which broke the process down and made it all easy to follow along.
Would recommend Scott to anyone and everyone looking for a broker!

Scott was great! We didn't know if we could afford to buy and with Scott's help we managed to get into our first home. Highly recommend Scott and his team!
Would absolutely recommend!
Scott was a great asset in helping me get back onto the property ladder. Always providing great knowledge in an understandable manner during our meetings and prompt responses which are always needed for a house purchase. He was always positive and well engaged during the process. Great to deal with and will definitely continue to utilise his services.
