Starting fresh as a single father of twin boys, Jordan Holmes never thought homeownership was within his reach. After growing up with constant relocations across the UK before settling in New Zealand, Jordan craved stability—not just for himself, but for his children. "Having that instability, I've noticed later in life how it really affected me," he shares with raw honesty.

The path to property ownership wasn't straightforward. After feeling dismissed by previous mortgage brokers, Jordan finally connected with someone who took his dreams seriously. What followed was nothing short of miraculous. From finding his dream character home to securing loan approval and completing the purchase, everything fell into place with unprecedented speed. "I was expecting this process to last a month," Jordan reflects, still amazed at how quickly his life transformed.

What truly shines through our conversation is the profound emotional impact of homeownership. The simple freedoms—letting his sons paint their bedroom walls, hosting birthday parties with bouncy castles in the backyard, planning tree houses and bike ramps—represent a fundamental shift in Jordan's sense of autonomy and belonging. "You can't do that in a rental," he points out. "Now I can do what I want to do."

For other single parents who might think property ownership is out of reach, Jordan's message is powerfully simple: "Just give it a go. You don't know until you try." Sometimes all it takes are small financial adjustments and the right guidance to turn what seems impossible into reality within months. His journey from uncertainty to opportunity showcases how homeownership isn't just about property—it's about creating the stability and security every family deserves.

Listen to Jordan's inspiring story and discover how taking that first step might open doors you never imagined possible for you and your family.
