Who Are We?

April 23rd, 2009

Darcy Ungaro - Director

Darcy has completed a degree in Economics majoring in Finance at Massey University in Auckland. Originally from Canada, Darcy moved here 14 years ago to study at university - the rest is history.

Darcy enjoys flying in his spare time – an active member of North Shore Aero Club (see http://www.nsac.co.nz/). Darcy and his wife, Tanya, also enjoy going up to their “Bach in the Bush” near Whananaki, Northland.

 “Mortgages are a very powerful tool to assist people in getting what they want – Insurance is a very powerful tool to help people keep what they’ve got.” Darcy works in partnership with other mortgage advisers in Auckland also – offering specialist mortgage insurance advice to these clients when they are taking out new mortgage debt.

Kerry Chalmers- Personal Assistant

Kerry joined the team about a year ago - her role is to provide back up to Darcy with regards to servicing existing clients. Kerry has worked in the insurance industry for 10 years and has brought much to the team as far as exceptional customer service and good industry expertise.

Jerome De Silva - Mortgage and Insurance Adviser

Jerome started this year with us as a mortgage and insurance adviser.

Jerome has 19 years finance experience across three different sectors of the industry; mainstream banking, vehicle finance and commercial building finance with a non-conforming bank.

These three different sectors of the finance industry have exposed him to a wide range of financial situations and solutions and allows him to assist first home buyers, clients refinancing to upgrade or renovate, clients investing in a rental property and people with different or challenging loan requirements. 

Overall, you’d be hard pressed to find another mortgage adviser with his wide variety of lending experience; this means he can look at your situation quite differently and will easily grasp alternative solutions for you that others may not see or know how to make work for you. As you can see, he is a real asset to the team!  

Where are we located??

Recently, the offices of Ungaro & Co have moved to Level 3, 202 Ponsonby Rd. Many will know the White Cross building on the intersection of Franklin and Ponsonby Rd. The office is located on the top floor and the entrance to the building is on the side - parking is available in the rear of building.
