Property Investment
Wills and EPAs explained: What every New Zealand property investor needs to know
A practical guide to wills and Enduring Powers of Attorney for NZ property investors. That includes costs, risks, and common family traps.
Hi, I'm Louis – a registered financial adviser with an MBA from Massey University, and a proud father of three wonderful children. I live in Auckland, where I also own two rental properties, so I understand firsthand what it's like to balance family, investments, and long-term financial goals.
When it comes to investing, my approach is holistic. I truly believe that a strategy must be tailored to your unique situation and appetite for risk. After all, an investment plan that keeps you up at night isn't a good plan. My goal is to create a strategy that fits your lifestyle, your goals, and gives you the peace of mind to sleep easy.
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is helping clients build wealth through investment properties. I’ve seen firsthand how creating a solid property portfolio can change lives—whether it’s achieving financial freedom or simply securing a more stable future. As your adviser, I’m here to guide you through every step of the journey, from finding the right properties to managing your portfolio effectively, ensuring you make informed decisions along the way.As a financial adviser, I’m with my clients every step of the way. If building a property portfolio is one of your goals, I’ll be there to guide you through the entire journey, making sure you make informed decisions and feel confident at every stage.
So, if you're ready to tackle your financial goals—big or small—I’d love to help you get started. Book a meeting with me, and let’s work together to turn your financial dreams into reality.
Looking forward to connecting with you soon!

What's it like working with Louis?
5/5 stars Grateful for Opes
I want to thank Opes Partners for the invaluable support throughout my property journey. What began as a daunting process became manageable with your expertise and encouragement. I deeply appreciate the guidance has been freely offered, including recent portfolio review sessions with Louis Fraysse and other AdvisorsAlisa R.27/11/20255/5 stars Great success securing investments
We had been considering property investment for a while and came across Opes Partners – from the moment we reached out, we haven’t looked back. The team made the whole process straightforward and surprisingly enjoyable (as fun as investments can be!). Our financial advisor, Louis Fraysse, was fantastic to work with. He’s very knowledgeable, took the time to truly understand our situation, and tailored his advice to fit our goals perfectly. We felt confident every step of the way thanks to his guidance. Our mortgage broker, Gary Lin, was equally impressive – efficient, responsive, and accurate. He made the lending side of things seamless and stress-free. We’ve had great success securing investments through Opes, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. If you’re looking to invest in property, this is the team to have by your side.Felix B.15/9/20255/5 stars An amazing company to deal with
