Sarah is a Buyers Agent at Empower Wealth and believes that property is the safest and most efficient way to create wealth over the long term. Sarah holds a Bachelors degree in Law (Honours) and Arts (Psychology & Chinese), and an Agents Representative Certificate. Being an avid investor herself, coupled with 10 years’ experience across real estate and finance, Sarah is well equipped to guide her clients on their property journey.

Born and raised in Melbourne, Sarah has always had a huge passion for property. Her own property journey started in her early 20s and with the benefit of “time in the market” for over a decade, she has witnessed the benefits of using property as a vehicle to create wealth over the medium-term.

Prior to Empower Wealth, Sarah worked in investment banking covering corporate real estate clients. During her 5 year stint, she was fortunate to have worked on some of Australia’s largest public and private transactions. Through this experience, Sarah was able to finely hone her negotiation skills and build financial acumen, which are vital skills that she has transferred to her current role representing clients in real estate transactions.

Since pivoting to residential real estate, Sarah has built agent relationships and industry connections that give her clients an edge in the fast-paced real estate market. What makes her spring out of bed every morning is knowing that she can help clients make better property choices and play a part in their wealth creation journey.

When Sarah isn’t trawling the real estate portals or listening to property podcasts, you’ll find her spending quality time with her young family (baby girl keeps her on her toes), jogging around the parks and beaches in Melbourne’s south-east, binge watching Netflix thrillers, or planning her next vacation.

Time is the secret sauce when it comes to property investment…

This is the second time I've used Empower Wealth Buyers Agency service and cannot recommend them highly enough. I am a sales agent myself but do not have the time to do the sort of research or deep dive into areas outside my core selling area. After putting my investment plan together, that brief was provided to the Sarah and she got to work immediately. The swiftness and thoroughness of her research was outstanding. She took the time to provide a comprehensive breakdown of each property and gave her recommendations as to how they suited my property goals. This purchase was interstate, and the referrals to the service providers I needed to complete the purchase made everything seamless and stress free. Sarah and her team are outstanding, I would definitely use her again and recommend their services.

I am writing this 12 months after my first property had settled. Sarah was fantastic the whole time especially with helping keep my buyers stress under control and was able to reassure me that the decisions being made were correct with ongoing facts and statistics of the area and properties i was looking at and was able to give me her real thoughts on everything which made it clear to me to trust the process. This property 10 months after settlement had a bank valuation of over 170k higher than the original purchase price and allowed me to purchase my second investment property! Very exciting to be able to acquire 2 in under 12 months and none of it could be done without the help of Sarah and the team!
