About us
We’re not just mortgage advisers — we’re your calm in the chaos.
llama & co was founded on the belief that mortgages don’t have to be cold, confusing, or full of jargon. We do things differently — combining real expertise with warmth, honesty, and a down-to-earth approach that puts people first.
Whether you're just getting started or looking to grow, we're here to guide you with clarity, calm, and genuine care.
Our simple process
-
We’ll kick things off with a relaxed chat to understand where you’re at, what you’re aiming for, and how we can help
-
We’ll guide you through a simple online application and let you know exactly what documents we need — no guesswork, no stress.
-
We review your application, crunch the numbers, and research the best lenders and options for your unique situation.
-
Once we’ve mapped out your best options, we’ll jump on a call (or meet in person) to walk you through everything — clearly, calmly, and without pressure.
-
We submit your application, get you pre-approved, and support you right through to unconditional finance and settlement. Then it’s time to pop the bubbly — you’re officially a homeowner!

D Naidoo
As first-time homebuyers in Auckland, we honestly had no idea where to even begin with the mortgage process. From our very first conversation, Ro made everything incredibly easy and straightforward.
She was a true guiding light, keeping us informed every step of the way and patiently answering our million questions (seriously, we had so many!). Ro’s expertise, calm demeanor, and genuine care completely transformed what could have been a daunting experience into an exciting journey. What's more, she's already started helping us think about our future property goals, which shows just how invested she is in her clients' long-term success!

I can’t thank Ro enough for making my mortgage journey so easy and stress-free. From day one, Ro took the time to truly understand my situation and what I was hoping to achieve. She explained everything in a way that made sense, answered all my (many!) questions with patience, and made me feel completely supported throughout the process.
Thanks to Ro’s expertise and dedication, I secured a great mortgage deal without all the usual headaches. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares and will go the extra mile for you, I highly recommend Ro!

Purchasing a house can be very stressful and Ro has been amazing throughout the entire process. I had tried a few other advisors and because I’m on a single income with 2 dependents, I felt they didn’t really bother to help me and turn me away very quickly which made me give up multiple times.
Ro has been encouraging and supportive the entire journey and was willing to look at my application and work with me to achieve my home ownership dream. I really don’t think I could have done it without her support, guidance and positivity. -
