New Auckland franchise owner for Mike Pero

Natasha Popova joined the business earlier this month.

The new owner boasts more than ten years of experience in finance and accounting, and has a keen interest in helping buyers get onto the property ladder, "whether it’s through tailor-made loan solutions, debt consolidation, goal setting, or affordability reporting," Popova said in a statement.

Popova moved to New Zealand from the UK four years ago.

The new franchisee said: "I believe in the importance of the ‘why?’ in achieving my goals. This inspires me to help people and their families settle into their dream homes, and support their why?"
