Director and Chief Adviser

In 2025, Satyan was recognised as Adviser of the Year – Specialist Lending, and Commercial Mortgage Broker of the Year for the third consecutive year – a testament to his expertise in navigating complex lending scenarios and securing solutions others might miss. He was also honoured with the Liberty Adviser of the Year 2025 award, recognising his commitment to innovation and outstanding service in a fast-evolving financial landscape. Satyan has won numerous other awards over many years, making him one of the most awarded brokers in the country. Satyan’s approach is grounded in understanding – not just the numbers but the people behind them. Whether he’s structuring a commercial loan for a growing business or guiding first home buyers through their financing journey, his focus remains the same: clear advice, transparent communication and tailored lending strategies that support long-term success. A strong advocate for financial freedom, Satyan believes that smart, strategic lending is one of the most powerful tools individuals can use to create long-term wealth and independence. He applies this philosophy both personally and professionally, building his own property portfolio while helping clients unlock opportunities to invest, grow and plan for a future on their own terms. A specialist in non-bank and alternative lending, Satyan has carved a niche working with clients who often fall outside traditional lending criteria. This includes but is not limited to self-employed borrowers, property developers and investors, and those with complex income structures. His network of trusted lenders, paired with his in-depth product knowledge, allows him to deliver fast, flexible solutions – often when other brokers can’t. Satyan’s success is also driven by his strong relationships with lenders, real estate professionals and accountants, all of whom value his integrity and problem-solving skills. His clients describe him as approachable, knowledgeable and tireless in his pursuit of the best deal – no matter how complex the case. Beyond the accolades and milestones, Satyan is deeply committed to building financial confidence in his community. He regularly mentors up-and-coming advisers and contributes thought leadership to industry forums. His practice is guided by a simple philosophy: “When you put people first, the results follow.” When he’s not helping clients achieve their property goals, Satyan enjoys exploring New Zealand’s outdoors with his family and staying current on financial market trends to continuously refine his offering. In a competitive and often confusing mortgage market, Satyan Mehra stands out not just for his credentials but for his consistency, care and clarity. For those seeking a broker who listens, leads and delivers, he’s a trusted name you can count on.
