Sook Curlett
I have over 25 years of experience in the Banking and Finance industry. With a strong passion for helping people find their dream homes and build their futures, I work closely with my clients and strive to find tailored solutions to their complex needs. I treat their affairs with the utmost care, just like my own.
My expertise lies in assisting first-home buyers, including Kainga Ora, off-the-plan purchases, turnkey solutions, and more. I also have extensive experience in Investment properties, Family Trust, refinancing, self-employed income, and non-bank lender options. I am particularly enthusiastic about land and building construction Loans.
Collaborating with my colleagues as a team, we cover a wide range of financial needs, including asset protection, home loan protection, investment strategies, including retirement planning, and other related services.
Outside of work, I am a dedicated family person, married with two active teenagers who affectionately call me “Taxi” and “ATM”. In my free time, I engage in various activities and contribute to the community as a qualified and active NZ National swimming official, coordinator of the Mountfort Water Polo Club, and volunteer with the Botany Crime Watch Patrol in Auckland.

Why clients love working with our team.
“My wife and I decided to get financial advice for our first home purchase and chose to work with Sook and honestly, she has been exactly what we needed. As first-home buyers, we were struggling to understand how the property market works, but Sook made everything clear and manageable.
Not only does she have the experience to give sound financial advice, she has guided us through the entire process and beyond. She always answers our questions patiently and points us in the right direction. Her 28 years of experience really shows; her guidance puts us at ease and we've learned so much from her.
She’s also incredibly dedicated, often making herself available even after hours. We truly feel supported every step of the way.
I would highly recommend Sook and Apex Advice to anyone looking for mortgage or financial guidance.”.Josh S,

“If you are lucky enough to have Sook as your home loan adviser, your experience will be incredible. She walked us through a number of sales that fell over and with patience and positivity we got a fantastic home in the end. Sook is dedicated, detailed, committed, kind and interested in your best interests. We really appreciated her never declining a call outside of work hours and the fact that she was willing to come to our home to meet or online. She is committed and very hardworking. It was a privilege to work with her.”.
