Marissa Schulze 40 under 40
STATE WINNER - 2015 TELSTRA BUSINESS WOMEN'S AWARDS
I am a passionate mortgage broker, property investor, property developer and property investment educator.

I love empowering others to improve their financial position and achieve their financial goals so that they can live the life of their dreams.

I practice what I preach. Starting at just 18 years old, I bought my first investment property. Over the next decade, I achieved financial freedom through building a multi-million dollar property portfolio with a six-figure passive income and I continue to be an active Property Investor and Developer today. I have experienced, first-hand, the opportunities, challenges, and rewards of buying, building, renovating, subdividing and developing.

Combining my background in accounting, finance and law, together with my mortgage and property investing experience, allows me to identify opportunities to help clients build wealth, save money and more importantly, live the life of their dreams.

Leaving a thriving career in commercial banking, I, together with my husband James, established Rise High Financial Solutions in 2011 with the key goals of educating, inspiring and empowering Australians to improve their financial literacy and well-being and achieve their financial goals. Our business, Rise High Financial Solutions is one of the most awarded and celebrated Finance and Mortgage Broking businesses in Australia and has helped thousands of Australians save money and achieve their financial dreams through smart property investment.

The success of the Rise High team is a result of its focus on building long-term relationships with clients, understanding their long-term goals and providing them with ongoing education and support to empower them to achieve their goals. To achieve its mission of empowering Australians to achieve their financial dreams and goals, the Rise High team run free property investment education seminars and regularly provide useful resources and tools to assist Australians to make smart finance and property decisions to achieve their goals sooner.

Since the inception of Rise High Financial Solutions, year after year the business continues to be recognised as a market leader within the Mortgage and Finance Industry receiving the most prestigious National and local awards and accolades the industry has to offer, including being recognised as the best Finance

and Mortgage Business in Australia by the Mortgage and Finance Association of Australia(MFAA) in 2017, 2019, 2020 & 2021. I have also been recognised for my dedication to helping others and for my success as a leading Entrepreneur receiving the 2015 Telstra Business Women’s SA Entrepreneur Award and the 2021 Top 40 under 40 award. From a young age, I have always had a passion for business and helping others and was awarded the Australian Young Achievement Business Person of the Year Award in 1999 and then in 2007 received the SA Government Innovation Award for developing a program teaching entrepreneurship to Indigenous Youth.

As a leader in the Australian Finance Industry and a successful property investor in my own right, I am often asked to speak at

numerous industry events throughout Australia to educate and empower others to achieve the business and financial success they desire. My comments and views are regularly featured in a variety of National Finance and Property Investment Publications and websites and I am also highly sought after as the author of feature articles in leading Australian Property Investment publications.

Prior to entering the Finance Industry, my career was dedicated to helping young entrepreneurs achieve their dreams and goals and turn their ideas into commercial reality. Through the University of Adelaide Entrepreneurs Challenge and the Young Indigenous Entrepreneurs Program, I changed the lives of thousands of young budding entrepreneurs giving them the business skills and confidence to turn their dreams into reality.

In my spare time, I enjoy giving back to the community and I have held various volunteer board roles.

I love travelling, being in nature and spending quality time with family and friends.
