Director & Mortgage Broker

• Sep 2014 - Present

Up Loans is a boutique mortgage and financial broking company - we love taking the stress out of the process of building your future wealth. We specialise in: - home loans - refinances - construction loans - investments loans This is why I do what I do: "I cannot thank Kirsty from Up Loans enough for absolutely every thing she did for me when assisting me to buy my first house. I could NOT have done it without her. And I don't say that lightly. From the very beginning, it was never more than a few hours to ever get replies from Kirsty, even on weekends! It felt like she would always be there when I needed to ask questions that probably sounded so silly, but she even made me feel okay to ask those kind of questions! Even now, she checks on me to make sure everything is going okay and she is just so sweet! I know it is her job, but I am just super grateful and will always remember how easy you made it seem! Even when banks were being stubborn! It was stressful, of course, but 80% less stressful with Kirsty on my side! Thank you, thank you, thank you." Naomi Pearson "I know I speak on behalf of my fellow ventureres when I say how amazing I think your service was for us. The tireless communication and updates kept us going when we thought we were going to end up in the 'too hard' basket. You also assisted with improving my individual loan rate which was awesome! I honestly cannot give you any advice on how to improve, if you keep providing the same level of service and replicating what you did for us, your business will thrive. Word of mouth is invaluable and I hope you get some ongoing business from us putting your name forward as we undoubtably will and already have. I hope we have another venture so we can meet again!"

I was very proud to establish Baby Teresa with Sammie Appleyard. We sold gorgeous organic baby clothing and accessories and for each romper we sold we donated another to a baby in need.

Reallysold.com was my first foray into a fully online company. It was a database of real estate headings, catch phrases, marketing text and a thesaurus facility to assist real estate agents in preparing catchy, memorable advertisements. The business was sold in 2015 and ceased operation under the new owner in 2017. Reallysold.com was my first foray into a fully online company.
