Achieving a dream of home ownership
When Arna Lackner and Alex Tate started looking for their first home in Masterton, they came across the house of their dreams. But, while they had pre-approval to buy a home, the bank they were dealing with would not extend that approval to cover the dream home. That’s when Arna and Alex came to WBS and that’s when their dream home became a reality.

Lending and mortgage specialist at WBS, Rose Stevens, guided Alex and Arna from their initial enquiry through to settling the loan document for their Masterton home. She was honoured to be able to help them.
‘Alex and Arna are such fun and enthusiastic young people,’ said Rose. ‘They’re both working hard at jobs in Masterton and deserve to have their own home.’
Alex and Arna came to WBS after recommendations from several friends as well as their insurance broker. They also both work with people who are connected to WBS in some way and had positive things to say.
According to Arna, the couples own impressions of WBS when they did make contact were of a welcoming and can-do attitude.
‘The main one for us was the positive vibes, regardless of whether we were going to be successful or not,’ she said.
‘Our whole experience with WBS was positive. They didn’t make us feel like a hassle and you could tell they really wanted to help and were excited for us. The whole process was really smooth and easy too.’
The experience of helping Alex and Arna into their home was a positive one for WBS too.
‘To be able to help their dream come true was such a privilege,’ said Rose.
