My passion for property started young—thanks to parents who taught me the value of saving and owning a home

I joined the Rise High team in 2020 as a Credit Analyst, where I developed a strong passion for helping people navigate finance and property. After supporting some of the industry’s top brokers, I’m proud to now be a qualified mortgage broker doing what I love every day.

My passion for property started early, shaped by parents who taught me the value of saving and home ownership. I built my first home at 19 and, as an active investor, have since expanded our portfolio into New Zealand. Property plays a big role in both my personal and professional life, and I love sharing these experiences with my clients.

Before Rise High, I spent over 20 years in customer service and government roles, as well as helping build a family business—experiences that shaped my commitment to genuine care, clear communication, and long-term client support.

My passion for property started young—thanks to parents who taught me the value of saving and owning a home 

I began my journey with the Rise High team in 2020 as a Credit Analyst, where I quickly discovered just how much I loved helping people navigate the world of finance and property. Over the years, I built up my knowledge by supporting some of the best brokers in the industry, and I’m thrilled to be a qualified mortgage broker doing what I genuinely love every day.

My passion for property started young—thanks to parents who taught me the value of saving and owning a home, which I hope to instil in my children and encourage many young Australians to do the same. I built my first home at 19, and today my husband, our two children, and I are happily living in our third build, our dream family home. Property has always been a big part of our lives, and as active investors we’ve even expanded into the New Zealand market, adding new experiences and learning to share with my clients.

Before joining Rise High, I spent more than 20 years in Customer Service and Government roles, and I also helped my husband build a successful business. These experiences taught me the importance of genuine care, communication, and commitment—qualities I bring to every client relationship. Whether someone is buying their first home or looking to grow a long-term investment portfolio, my goal is to support them not just today, but well into the future.

Outside of work, you’ll usually find me on a netball court—either playing or coaching my daughter’s team—or happily browsing realestate.com.au for our next investment opportunity. Property is more than my career; it’s truly a passion that has shaped every chapter of my life.

This is Me!

"They're all magicians!"

I think this is my 13th loan arranged through Rise High (it could be more). The team has always put my goals first and explored every lender policy to ensure that I'm not just able to achieve my objectives, but to get a great deal more than I ever thought possible. No wonder Rise High takes out just about every top award, every year. They're all magicians! There is simply no more nightmare of uncertainty, and their ethics is unparalleled. From 26 year of personal history in the property market, I couldn't offer any broker a higher commendation!

"Highly recommended!!"

RHFS helped us when we decided to buy our first house, and recently with refinancing our home loan. Thuy and Isabella did an amazing work and just leaving us to make the decision with a lot of useful information. Thanks for everything you have done for us, Thuy and Isabella and, of course, Rise High Financial Solutions.

We are long-term clients of Rise High and would highly recommend them. Over the years, James and his team have always been helpful and efficient.

"Expertise and professionalism"

Our experience with Rise High was amazing. The process ended up being so much simpler than we had thought thanks to their hard work. The expertise and professionalism they showed meant that it was one less thing for us to worry about. We were kept updated all the way and we're so happy to now be in our new home. We would highly recommend Rise High for anyone looking for these services.

"have your interests at heart"

James and the team at Rise High were amazing. This was my first time getting a home loan, whereas for my partner has gone through the process with Rise High several times. I must admit I was a little nervous and heard of many bad experiences with other companies but this was certainly not the case. It was so easy, the team led us through the documents they needed and answered all my questions quickly, the whole process was absolutely seamless. James provided us with the best options so quickly and within 10 days we had approval. Pretty unheard of in this market at the moment, just goes to show with the right team anything is achievable. I would highly recommend Rise High to anyone who is looking for a mortgage broker who is trustworthy, reliable and who have your interests at heart.

"got me the best loan I am eligible for"

I had a great experience with Rise High Morgage Brokers. They saved me a lot on my loan and I am confident they got me the best loan I am eligible for. They communicated with me every step of the way and made the process really easy. Thank you

"No question is too complex"

The Rise High team are absolutely on point with everything. Their communication is 11/10. I've refinanced with them twice now and on to my 3rd loan. Each time I have been informed of every step along the way and kept in the loop with everything. No question is too complex. I've referred family and friends to Rise High and will continue to use them in the future!

"Knocked this one clean out of the park"

I can't rate Rise High Financial Solutions highly enough. When dealing with banks and conveyancers and navigating the sometimes convoluted pathways to property ownership it's important to have expert advice and motivated staff in the form of the team at Rise High 'batting for you'. Thank you so much, you knocked this one clean out of the park. Rob 😊
