10+Professional Bio: After two decades in the telecoms fraud industry, Sarah made a bold career change and hasn’t looked back since. Now with over 10 years of experience in financial services, she brings a fresh perspective and a genuine passion for helping clients achieve their homeownership goals.
Sarah works with a wide range of clients, from first-time buyers and home movers to those with more complex needs such as adverse credit or buy-to-let investments. She’s known for her approachable style and her ability to turn can’t, into can, helping clients who may have been turned away elsewhere find the right solution.
For Sarah, every client has a unique story, and she’s proud to play a part in helping them take the next step toward their dream home or financial goal.
Personal Information: I started out my working life in Telecoms, nearly 20 years in total. Redundancy led me to look for a change in direction, and I’ve been in the mortgage world ever since. I live in Cambridgeshire with my Cockapoo, Jenny, and 4 talkative Lovebirds!
Something not everyone knows about me: I took a year off between mobile phone networks and went to Guatemala where I taught indigenous children for 3 months in Spanish. It was a great challenge especially as I couldn’t speak a word of Spanish when I arrived. I then spent 3 months in Argentina where I learnt to ski.
If I won the Euro millions lottery I would: Clear the mortgage, help some friends and family out and then have a really big holiday!!!
First Full time job: Working at Vodafone as a Fraud Control Engineer, back in the days of mobile phone cloning, which involved identifying how fraudsters were de-frauding the network and then finding ways to stop them. I remember the day in Vodafone where we celebrated the millionth ever (!!) SMS being sent.
I love my job because: No two days are ever the same, and there’s no better feeling than to be able to help someone achieve their goals, particularly if they’ve been told what they want isn’t possible.
Likes: Rowing (as in on the river rather than arguing with someone!), working out, and walking in the countryside with my nutty pooch.
Dislikes: Dishonesty and writing profiles above myself!
Favourite destination: I don’t have one. There are so many beautiful places in the world with such wonderful people, it would be hard to choose! Some places that have stuck with me were Cambodia and Guatemala.
Favourite food: Something that someone else has cooked for me! Otherwise, fruit!
My ultimate 4 dinner party guests would be:
My grandad (sadly dead), he was so full of the joy of life, with an infectious laugh and great sense of humour. Otherwise, I have no idea. To be honest, I’d be too busy catching up with my grandad anyway! Lol
