At 20, I read a book that began my passion for finance. 'The Money Tree' was a book about budgeting and putting every dollar into individually labelled envelopes: rent, insurance etc. I was religious...every week, counting, saving (...and stashing envelopes). If it wasn't in an envelope it didn't get spent!
I shared my new found knowledge with friends and loved listening to their DREAMs and sharing our new found successes.
DREAMing of purchasing my first home, I knew the answer was to LEND the balance needed to OWN it. At just  22 (2 years after discovering the art of budgeting) I realised my DREAM and well, I guess you could say
                                                                         'My love affair with homes began.'
​During this time I began my banking career and seamlessly transitioned from 'friend educating friends on financial freedom', to educating clients. Thankfully swapping the envelopes for 19 bank accounts...yes you read right '19!'
I became manager of that Credit Union and over the last 20 years have been a mortgage broker, real estate rep, manager of a family business and business development and finance manager. Let's just say finance, homes and exceptional customer service are in my DNA.
I've always believed, 'If you can DREAM it, you can achieve it. What is your home ownership or investment DREAM? Let me help you...DREAM it, LEND for it, OWN it! - Claire Cartwright
