Avanti has ramped up its mortgage team to support the increased demand they have experienced from mortgage advisers seeking nonbank specialist solutions.

Since the introduction of their specialist long term mortgage offering 2 years ago they have seen a steady and significant increase in demand for both this product and their other wider product offering.
Avanti has been committed to supporting and growing their valued adviser network throughout the country; demonstrated with on the ground BDM support, Paul Rolton based in Wellington covering the lower North Island and Michael Harrison based in Christchurch covering the South Island along with Julia Winterbottom National BDM based in Auckland.
They recently created a new Property Portfolio Manager Role.  They see this role as key to the continued development and growth of their mortgages channel. This new role will ensure the commitment to delivering proven products and excellent customer service is carried through the entire end to end customer experience. They are excited to announce that Tammy Stitt has accepted this leadership position within Avanti.
Many of you may know Tammy from her recent role as Lending Manager with RESIMAC. Tammy brings with her over 20 years of experience in the banking and finance industry and her diverse background, which includes risk management, credit, project management and her knowledge of the specialist lending and adviser markets will be key to Avanti’s ongoing growth and success.
Three new staff have also joined their Auckland based lending team. Barry Brown and Liz Downs in lending roles and Lee Alexander in an administration support role. These appointments will support their current experienced lending team to ensure that they live up to their mantra to be the “first second choice” for advisers and borrowers across a broad range of specialist lending products.
