When Claire joined Adam at My Mortgage in 2015, we were a team of three.

Ten-plus years later she's a co-director of a 17-strong business and one of the Waikato's most recognised voices in property and personal finance.

Claire's real gift is making the complicated feel doable. Whether you're buying your first home, restructuring after a separation or building an investment portfolio, she'll explain every step in plain English and fight hard for the right result.

She has a special passion for helping women navigate property on their own terms, and has supported close to 100 solo female clients into homes they're proud of.

As an accredited KiwiSaver and investment adviser, Claire looks at the bigger picture too, so your mortgage, KiwiSaver and long-term plans all pull in the same direction.

Outside the office she's the author of Smashed Avo to Smash Goals, chair of WAM, and host of the My Mortgage and Growing Kiwis podcasts.

Home is a rural block near Cambridge, where you'll find her in the orchard, out for a run or planning her next adventure.
