Some want to work directly with Andrew Nicol - our founder, managing director, and one of New Zealand’s most experienced property investors.

So now, you can.

Book a 1-on-1 with Andrew

$199

Personally build your Wealth Plan
Advise on your strategy
Help to guide your next move
This is a one-off, flat fee

I'm keen to book in with Andrew

Why the Fee?

Most of our service is still completely free and that’s not changing.
But Andrew’s time is limited, and he gets asked to work with a lot of investors.

So if you want to work with him directly, there’s a flat $199 fee.
That covers his time, and helps make sure those sessions go to people who are genuinely ready to make a move.

This is a one-off, flat fee. No surprises.

What do I get for $199?

A 1-on-1 strategy session with Andrew Nicol

A customised Wealth Plan tailored to your goals

Honest, practical advice based on 20+ years of property experience

Insights from someone who’s built a 40+ property portfolio — and helped thousands of Kiwis do the same

I don’t want to pay $199

That’s totally fair.

You don’t have to work with Andrew Nicol. You can meet with any of our other financial advisers for free.

In fact, that’s what most investors do.

Every Opes financial adviser is trained in the same process and uses the same tools.
They’ll still help you build a personalised Wealth Plan and guide you step-by-step through your investment journey - all at no cost.

So if you're not keen on the $199 session with Andrew, no problem at all.
You can still get the full Opes experience, just with someone else from the team.
