About Sarah

There is nothing better than seeing our clients achieve their property goals.

No one is born with financial knowledge, therefore as advisers, we play an important role in helping clients to understand the implications of their spending personalities and habits.

I have over 11 years’ experience in helping clients achieve their goals, complemented by a specialised background in managing operations for a network of Real Estate offices.

My passion is helping advisers learn and improve their knowledge and to think outside the box, while encouraging and supporting continual improvement. I love workshopping applications and training our team of advisers. Helping them to hit their aspirations and earn a great reputation in the industry is paramount.

I have three children ranging from twenties to teens. When I’m not working, you will usually find me on the sideline of the various sports and hobbies they attend. Both my husband and I like to be involved in all aspects including volunteering on club committees. We have a lovely home in the sunny Bay of Plenty, and we always enjoy having a houseful of friends and family.

My Three Golden Rules

  1. Be kind
  2. Everyone is going through their own journey
  3. Stay honest

 

 

Neither Lifetime nor I have been subject to a reliability event. A reliability event is something that might influence you in deciding whether to seek advice from either myself or Lifetime. As an example, this would be a serious event such as legal proceedings against me, or bankruptcy in the last four years.

Using Your Home to Grow Your Wealth: How to Leverage Equity to Buy a Rental

You have worked hard to buy your home. Paid the mortgage, watched the value rise, and chipped away at the balance over time. Now you might be wondering: can this be the foundation for something more?

If you have built up equity in your home, the answer might be yes.

Refixing a Mortgage Isn’t Just About the Rate, It’s About Strategy

When your fixed mortgage rate is coming to an end, it is tempting to focus on one thing, the new interest rate.

And understandably so, interest rates are front-page news, and they directly affect your household budget. But while the rate itself is important, it is only one part of the picture.
