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.

Home Loan Rates Are Dropping – But Look Who Quietly Beat ANZ to the Punch

There’s no denying it: after the Reserve Bank’s OCR cut last week, interest rates are finally starting to fall – and fast.

ANZ made headlines with a sharp round of fixed rate drops this week, bringing its 18-month special down to 4.89% and its one-year fixed rate to 4.95%. That’s the lowest ANZ’s fixed rates have been in over three years, and a welcome reprieve for buyers and refixers alike.
