Bio
Hi there, my name is Brian Dalley, and I have been involved in the real estate industry since 1992.
A former company general manager I started out as the mortgage broker industry was in its infancy. When I started out, I sat my real estate licence to get a better idea of how the industry worked. Then I read many books, attended seminars and numerous training programs, which I continue to do, so I am always aware of new ideas and developments.
For many years I was an independent mortgage broker, but as products offered by lenders didn’t differ a great deal at the time I sold CMB (Citiwide Mortgage Brokers ) and joined The National Bank as a mobile mortgage manager. Back in 2006, the industry changed, lending criteria from different institutions became light years apart. Due to the change, I again work as an independent advisor which allows me to find the best deal for my clients needs.
My specialty is educating people about property finance, and I want to help you!

Gateway Housing Assistance, KiwiSaver home ownership assistance, Welcome Home First Steps, the Housing Innovation Fund and the Tenant Home Ownership Programme. Not one workable solution! “Gateway” will be yet another useless tool in the affordable housing tool-box.

The weather is changing, the flowers are flourishing, the birds are singing, the sun is putting the spring back into our step. Will this help revitalise the wilting real estate market?
