We’re more than just mortgage brokers.

We are a team of financial advisers with a mission to empower people with quality financial advice, so they can make informed financial decisions, and create a life where they’re not limited by their mortgages.

Our Story

In 2017, Eugene founded Twine Financial Advisers with the aim to empower families with quality financial advice and make a significant impact on their finances. Mortgages are a significant financial commitment for most families, and Eugene recognized its potential to shape their financial futures. However, the lack of advice on how to effectively manage their mortgage leaves many New Zealanders struggling to repay their mortgages or failing to seize the investment opportunities that are in front of them.

At Twine, we believe that mortgages are a valuable tool that requires strategic management and advice, similar to any other investment. With the right approach, a mortgage can be leveraged to grow property investment and build wealth over time.

Our personalized mortgage strategies consider all relevant factors to help clients achieve their long-term financial goals. We provide tailored advice and ongoing support to navigate the complex world of mortgages, especially when interest rates and property prices keep changing.

Our extensive experience and expertise have earned us several Top Adviser awards in New Zealand and industry recognition for our work. We believe that everyone, regardless of their property journey, deserves access to expert financial advice on managing their mortgage effectively. At Twine, we go beyond getting you the pre-approval and the lowest interest rates to help families build a solid financial foundation for their future, and create a life where they’re not limited by their mortgage.

Our Approach

At Twine, we pride ourselves on being relationship-driven advisers who prioritize delivering effective and strategic mortgage advice that responds to our clients’ evolving needs. We hold integrity as a core value and make a concerted effort to educate our clients on mortgages and property, empowering them to make informed financial decisions that align with their goals.

We recognize that education is key to making sound financial decisions, and we take great care in ensuring that our clients fully understand the mortgage process and the implications of their choices. Our advisers are committed to building lasting relationships with our clients, based on trust, transparency, and mutual respect.

We believe that our success is intrinsically linked to our clients’ success, and we work tirelessly to help them achieve their financial objectives. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of the mortgage market or providing tailored advice on property investment, we are dedicated to helping our clients make the most of their financial opportunities.

Galina Golub

Mortgage Adviser

P: 022 387 1833

I have over 9 years’ experience working in financial services ranging from Assistant Adviser at a Wealth Management firm JBWere to Client Relationship Manager in UBS Sydney to Mobile Mortgage Manager at ANZ.

My love for property began when my husband and I purchased our first family home. I’m very familiar with that feeling of anticipation when we received our pre-approval and the multiple weekends of house hunting. It all came together with the ecstatic happiness at the auction when the hammer went down. I’ve become passionate about helping others achieve the same happiness.

When I work with first home buyers, I really connect with them through my own first-home buying journey. I nurture them by being their biggest advocate to the banks and guide them using my own personal experience and expertise.

I’m also a property investor with properties throughout New Zealand, so I can relate to many of my investor clients. I have a well-established network of professionals such as accountants, property managers, insurance advisers and lawyers who form a supporting team.

When I work with my clients, I keep them focused on the future through a tailor-made strategy. I listen to my clients and give them confidence that achieving their goals is possible.

In my spare time, on a sunny day you’ll see me spending time outdoors with my family and friends. Every winter we love to go skiing in the South Island.

Isla

Furnancial Adviser

Isla is a blue roan English Cocker Spaniel, born and bred in Rotorua from a lineage of championship show dogs. The life of a show dog can be hard, but Isla was fortunate enough to not make the cut due to the spots on her nose and back. And for that, we are forever grateful. She's been part of our family and team since the early age of 8 weeks old.

Her daily responsibilities include greeting the team every morning, alerting everyone that the courier guy has arrived, and keeping the team happy and healthy by getting everyone to go for our daily lunchtime walks around Rosedale business park.

She'll join her colleagues on whatever they have going on, whether it's a team meeting or eating lunch - she'll be there.

Isla will be the first to greet you when you visit the Twine office, she'll come with her wiggliest of tails.
