An award that really hit home

2023-09-05T08:54:52+10:00August 30th, 2023|Tips|

Awards are funny things, aren’t they. They’re nice to win and they give you good boost of confidence. They’re good for your clients and potential clients to see that you’ve been recognised as doing well in your profession. They’re good to add to your email signature as a sign of credibility. Generally, they’re a sign that you can be trusted. But then you’re [...]

Take a breath and slow down

2023-08-23T07:27:24+10:00August 23rd, 2023|First home buyer|

I’ve been reading a lot of inspirational stories, blogs and posts over the past couple of weeks and came across a quote that really resonates with me, “Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.” The quote is by John Maxwell, a well known author on books primarily on leadership. I think the reason that this really [...]

Can we talk about the Matildas for a minute?

It seems that everyone else is, so why not us! How incredibly awesome are they as individuals, women, athletes, a team, ambassadors for Australia, soccer and women's sport! I'm amazed and delighted at the excitement, engagement, passion, pride and even obsession this World Cup competition and this team are igniting across the country and the world. From little kids to hardcore macho males, to [...]

We’re here to help with mortgage reviews or pre-approval

2023-08-02T08:22:20+10:00August 2nd, 2023|First home buyer, Home loan, Money management, Refinance|

Real estate agents are reporting that they've seen a big increase in the number of properties listed in the last three months. Surprisingly, many of them, particularly in Brisbane and Hobart, have only been in the hands of the current owners for less than three years. Many are being sold by first home buyers and investors. Sadly this is one of the impacts of [...]

Lessons I’ve learnt buying property

2023-07-26T08:36:38+10:00July 26th, 2023|First home buyer|

I’m often asked what are the most important things that I’ve learnt throughout my time of buying property, so I thought I’d share them with you. Set your goal. Figure out what you want and how much it will cost. Create a vision board, write it in detail in a book, visualise it. How many bedrooms and bathrooms? A “fixer-upper” or an “already done-upper”? [...]

Review, revise and adjust

2023-07-20T15:01:55+10:00July 19th, 2023|Tips|

This can be said about so many things in life - career relationships renovations or home construction holidays business growth budget savings the list goes on… But equally important as the planning component is the review, revise and adjust components. Sometimes we have a [...]

Is it time to look at the subtraction side of the equation?

2023-07-19T12:01:05+10:00July 12th, 2023|Money management|

There are a few givens in life that we just take as fact without putting too much thought into it. One of those "facts" is that the more money we earn, the better off we will be financially. Whilst that may be true for that one day a fortnight or month that your salary is deposited to your account, it doesn’t ring true for [...]

Happy New Financial Year!

2023-07-20T15:05:18+10:00July 1st, 2023|First home buyer, Money management, Next home, Property investor|

To many people, this is just a date on the calendar. A day to give your kids a pinch and a punch for the first of the month - unless they beat you to it. But it’s also a great time to set financial goals. What do you want to achieve this financial year? Do you have goals, targets, a plan, a spending and [...]

Does money really buy happiness?

2023-06-28T08:59:44+10:00June 28th, 2023|Money management|

I subscribe to a US based investment adviser, specifically designed for women, and they’ve just posted an interesting article quoting research from US Ivy League Universities, Penn and Princeton, that proves that there is a very strong correlation between more money and happiness. It doesn’t literally buy the feeling of being happy but it does have the ability to seriously influence our overall [...]
