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
- Be kind
- Everyone is going through their own journey
- 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.

One of the most common questions property investors ask is how it is possible to borrow the full purchase price of a rental property. On the surface it sounds impossible, because lenders generally require a 30% deposit and will not offer a true 100% loan against a single property.
Smart Christmas Spending: Protect Your Budget and Your Borrowing Power
Christmas is a wonderful time of year. It brings family, celebrations and the joy of giving. It can also bring a lot of financial pressure. With gift lists, entertaining costs and last-minute purchases, it is easy to rely on credit to get through the season. The trouble is that consumer debt taken on in December can follow you well into the new year, especially if you are planning to purchase a property.
