Hi there,

I'm James Schulze

Head of Operations and Customer Experience
08 7131 1149

I specialise in:

Investment Property Portfolio Financing
Complex Financing Consultation
Homebuyer Mortgage
Refinancing and Debt Consolidation
Financing for Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF)
Financing for Health Care Professionals

In my early 20’s I learnt an important lesson about the value of money and how it impacts and drives your way of life.

From a life of debt and habit of spending more money than I was earning, I decided to make a change and start learning how to be smarter with money. Within 12 months of this decision I had bought my first home and my passion had begun for the world of property investment. Since then, my property portfolio has grown and I love being able to share my journey and wealth of experience with others wanting to learn and improve their way of life.

With over 15 years’ experience in the Banking, Mortgage and Finance sectors, I understand what my clients’ need and can help

them navigate the intricate and often complicated path to success. Whether my clients are looking at purchasing a home or investment property, refinancing to saving money or building wealth, my goal is to set my clients’ clear and realistic financial goals, empowering them with the right education, advice and tools to ensure that these goals become a reality.

Since launching Rise High Financial Solutions in 2011 with my wife Marissa, we have become a multi-award winning local family run business. Our passionate, highly skilled team with over 60 years’ experience always put our client’s needs first through exceptional customer service.

Outside of Rise High my passions are centered around my amazing family and maintaining optimal health and wellbeing. I love going to the Adelaide Central Markets with Marissa and my 2 beautiful

kids to sample the best produce that South Australia has to offer and spending quality time together soaking up the atmosphere. I also love hitting my local Crossfit Gym regularly to stay strong and healthy.

I feel so blessed to live in Adelaide and love life because every day brings a new and exciting challenge to learn from and grow as a person!
