About me

Helen recently assisted us to refinance our existing mortgage. She was extremely helpful at each stage of the journey setting out our options and helping navigate the process of shifting from one bank to another (including providing recommendations on efficient and cost effective lawyers to use to undertake the refinancing). Helen was responsive, professional and great to deal with throughout making the process easy. I'd recommend Helen to anyone looking for a mortgage broker.

We have used Helen for the purchase of two investment properties. We were new to investing so had many questions along the way and Helen would always have the time to discuss. We were especially impressed with Helen's responsiveness, she would be back to me in minutes with answers. We will definitely be using Helen for our next property purchase and would highly recommend her.

Helen has been our broker for the past five years and has been fantastic to work with. She is professional, friendly, and always goes the extra mile to help us achieve our goals. She’s also very accommodating and has taken calls late in the evening when it suited us. I happily recommend Helen to my friends and family.

Helen was so much help to my fiancé and I through the process of buying our first property. She was there every step of the way and communicated to us really well. Would absolutely reccomend.

Helen was recommended to us when our normal mortgage broker was crazy busy! We are really happy with Helen - she's friendly, helpful (which is always good as a broker!) . We found her reliable, & she spoke in normal terms and nothing was complicated. Thanks Helen.

We contacted Helen through a recommendation of a friend and have been amazed how far she went for us. Buying our first home was daunting but Helen made sure we understood everything that was happening and gave us infomation on any property we went to view without us asking. I would 100% reccomend working with Helen and will be recommending her services to any friends in future looking to nogotiate there morgage or looking to buy a new home.

Helen was amazing! I can’t recommend her enough! I had know idea what I was doing buying my first house and she held my hand and walked me through the process. She was honest and realistic and supportive from start to end! She recommended a brilliant solicitor and was always a phone call away when I had questions. I would use her services again in a heartbeat! Thanks so much Helen, I am so happy to be in my new home. Aimee

Helen was amazing! Extremely responsive, answered all our questions and explained all our options clearly. Most importantly excellent communication ! Highly recomend !

Helen did a fantastic job securing our mortgage and advising on the structure. In particular, there were some complications with our existing bank over unconsented works. Helen negotiated with a different bank to take us on and made the transition really easy. Thanks - can't recommend enough!!!

I've worked with Helen Stuart for about 4 years, and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. She’s incredibly hard-working, with a strategic approach that always felt tailored to my needs. Helen took the time to fully understand my requirements and guided me through the loan approval process with clarity and confidence. Her communication was always prompt and transparent, and I felt completely supported at every step. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, my loan was approved smoothly and efficiently. Additionally, Helen helped me arrange an efficient solicitor and provided a detailed summary. If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about achieving the best outcome for you, Helen is the one!

We had an excellent experience working with Helen! She made the entire process straightforward and stress-free with clear advice. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service, making life a lot easier through the whole processs.

I’ve recommended a few of my customers to Helen and have been consistently impressed with her approach. From the outset, she stands out as someone who genuinely knows her craft—professional, fast, and efficient in everything she does. Her no-nonsense, straight-talking style is incredibly refreshing, especially in an industry where clarity and confidence make all the difference. Helen has a remarkable ability to put her clients at ease while keeping things moving forward without delay. She’s proactive, thorough, and always goes the extra mile to ensure everything is handled to the highest standard. The service she delivers is second to none, and the feedback I’ve received from those I’ve referred to her has been nothing but positive. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Helen to anyone looking for top-tier service and results—they’ll be in very capable hands.

Helen could not have been more helpful and professional in the dealings we have had with her. After our first contact we were unable to find a suitable property for months, but she patiently stayed in touch with us offering support the whole way through. When we did find the one, she sorted the mortgage options quickly and was able to render very helpful advice. My wife and I would recommend Helen Stuart to others and will definitely use her skills at any time in the future that we need mortgage advice. David

Helen helped me from the start of my home buying journey when I was just looking at saving and optimizing my potential. 3 years later I managed to buy a house. She was always clear and quick to respond. Advice was clear and my learning through the process was life changing. Thank you Helen for helping me make this happen.

We were recommended Helen by a friend and I couldn’t be more grateful! Helen goes above and beyond. She is extremely knowledgeable, easily & efficiently navigating any curve balls we threw her way and ultimately getting us better results than we’d had with other brokers previously. She didn’t just get the job done, she went out of her way to make sure we got the best we deal we possibly could with clear communication the whole way. Very highly recommended, I personally wouldn’t bother looking elsewhere.

Helen made the process a lot less stressful, she explained everything so well. No question was a silly question! I will absolutely recommend her to anyone buying a home.

Helen is absolutely amazing, and makes the process very simple. Highly recommended.

Kia ora I first contacted Helen before Covid querying about mortgage and Helen was so helpful and gave advise as to how i can climb the property ladder. COVID happened and i let go of the idea of buying my first home. In 2024 my circumstances changes and i contacted Helen again. She was so helpful, kind and had patience to answer all my queries. She helped my dream of buying my first home come true. I moved into my home in 2025. I am very grateful to Helen. She made the whole process easy for me. Helen, i am glad i took my brothers advise and contacted you. You were amazing and i highly recommend you. Thank you so much Naseema

Helen is fantastic to deal with and we cannot recommend her highly enough! She was able to walk us through the complicated steps of obtaining a home loan and provide guidance on how this could be structured. Working with Helen was so much easier than going straight to the bank. We found her incredibly knowledgeable and her calm approach is definitely a bonus in stressful situations. We look forward to working with Helen again in the future.

We had a fantastic experience working with Helen. She was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the process, providing us with advice that was both insightful and tailored to our needs. Thank you, Helen!

Fantastic to work with. I highly recommend!

Helen is proactive, professional, and super efficient - would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who needs a mortgage broker.

Helen is a very good mortgage broker. Helped my partner and I buy our very first home after much difficulty in these past months. She helped ease the load of buying a home. I would like to give more stars but 5 is the maximum. I would recommend Helen to anyone looking to purchase a home.

I love working with Helen to get our mortgages sorted. She always listens to what we want and suggests ways to make things better/easier for us if necessary. She takes all of the stress out of dealing with the banks, we just talk to Helen and then sit back and let her do her thing!

Helen from Compass Mortgages comes highly recommended, she make to process of obtaining a mortgage as smooth and straight forward as possible. We are very satisfied client as always!

Helen was amazing to have in our corner. We were in a really sticky situation between two houses and Helen made sure the process of applying for our loan and then ensuring the access to the loan was ready to go upon settlement. We honestly couldn’t have sold and bought a home without her. I highly recommend using Helen’s services.

Helen made the whole house buying process so much easier. She was not only our mortgage broker but our sounding board for all our worries during the process. I wish I could give her 10 stars.

Greste service from Helen. Made things so easy to understand

Helen was recommended to us by a friend and she was amazing. She talked us through everything and explained all we needed to know. She helped us find the best deal for us and was there to support us with our first mortgage. I’d definitely recommend.
