About Karen

Q. What inspired you to become a Mortgage Broker?

A. I had been working in banking for 20 years and wanted to be able to work more closely with clients to guide them through the entire process of obtaining finance.

Q. What is the best part of being a Mortgage Broker?

A. Dealing with a variety of people from all walks of life. Being able to help them achieve their property ownership goals.

Q. What is your most memorable client experience?

A. It is incredibly rewarding to help 1st home buyers buy their 1st homes. Sometimes you work with clients for a year or more until they are in a position to be able to buy their 1st home. Once they achieve that goal It’s almost as exciting for me as it is for the clients!

Q. If you were Prime Minister for one day, what would you do?

Q. Complete this sentence: If I Wasn’t in Mortgage Broking, I would be…
