gary@peakfinancial.co.nz
Gary has been a finance and insurance Advisor in the Financial Services Industry for 30 years.
During that time he has run his own Finance Company, placed many millions of dollars of lending and insurance cover as well as assisting many into their first home. He has even been involved in designing new insurance and lending products over the years.
With a wide range of contacts in the industry and experience managing his own and other business’ Gary is well placed to advise and design business and shareholder insurance packages.
Many clients have been surprised at the comprehensive levels of cover they can achieve for similar premiums that they have already been paying. Gary’s mantra is all about ensuring that the client is getting the best value for their premium dollar.
Sometimes that means redesigning existing insurance packages or getting insurers to offer new ones. Almost any situation can be insured, it’s just a matter of finding a reputable insurer and striking a rate.
Putting together commercial finance packages for developers or those adding to their Investment portfolio takes more than being able to crunch numbers.
Having long term relationships with the lenders is also critical and with 30 years of experience, Gary certainly has these and is happy to use them to his client’s advantage.

Richard is a Philippines Registered Nurse by trade. Although, in New Zealand, he stayed working in the Health industry as Phlebotomist.

His wealth of knowledge in health and the healthcare system in New Zealand drives him to help people and provide what they need in times of crisis.
In his own words
“I have been married for 5 years now and we are blessed with two beautiful daughters. My wife is a New Zealand Registered Nurse working in Northshore Hospital Elective Surgery Department. She comes home with stories I wish I could help with or better yet provide relief to families that are exhausted from processing requirements before they can have the surgery, unfortunately, most of the time re-scheduled. I have a young family and as immigrants, we do not have much family support here in NZ, that is why I value having insurance in place to look after me and my family when needed most”

billig@peakfinancial.co.nz
I allocate most of my time advising my clientele on how to best structure their financial securities such as their Insurances, Mortgages, and Kiwisaver. My clients often mentioned that even though I may look younger compared to some of my peers, I have the knowledge and experience to give them competent advice.
Time and time again, I have seen and heard many stories from clients, the lack thereof and “no real advice” on their insurance and was just bombarded with words they could not understand. They are either paying too much (overinsured) or too little (underinsured) and getting poor policy wordings and did not explain the effect of poor policy wordings upon claim time.
As a Mortgage adviser, “our job is to get the best possible rates and cash incentives for our clients”. However, what we are really advising is the advice on how to best structure your loan. We approach it holistically which really gives us the word of mouth referrals from our clients. Thus, referring us to their family and friends.
Here at Peak Financial Services, we work for you! and we want to build a long-lasting relationship.
As independent advisers, you won’t need to spend countless hours searching for the right banks for your mortgages and company for your insurances to get the right tailored plan for you and your family.
I am one phone call and one email away.
