Every great adviser has an interesting personal story to tell, and for Hayden Lind, the journey to becoming Advice4Life’s first mortgage adviser has been an adventure in itself. With a diverse background spanning automotive technician, truck driver, and small business owner in the coffee industry, Hayden has developed a keen ability to connect with people from all walks of life. That’s where he gets his empathetic and versatile approach to mortgage advice.

With several years of experience as insurance and mortgage adviser under his belt, Hayden’s passion for helping people reach their financial goals shines through in every conversation. “I truly enjoy being an adviser,” Hayden says. “It’s the moments when I can share my knowledge and use it to break down complex matters into simple, understandable advice that make this work so rewarding.”

A seasoned property owner and small business owner himself, he enjoys assisting clients with mortgage advice for purchasing homes, rental investment properties, and navigating construction or build loans. Together with his wife, Tori, Hayden has designed, built, and project-managed several homes, making him an exceptional guide for first-time homebuyers navigating the complexities of the home-buying journey.

Away from the office, Hayden and Tori are happiest when they’re sharing good food, fine wine, and great conversations with friends and family. Their shared love for the outdoors takes them snowboarding and skiing in the winter, and mountain biking in Rotorua, Nelson, and Queenstown. Excitedly awaiting the arrival of their first child in mid-2023, Hayden and Tori already have plenty of love to share with their adorable cat, Lumi.
