Robyn is a director of Vogue Lending having owned her first business –a 7day Deli– when she was 22. She then spent over 15 years in sales, firstly in the highly competitive telecommunication industry and then as a kitchen designer with Alby Turner & Son. Meanwhile she was growing her investment property portfolio with her husband Jeff. They soon realised they needed to find out how to structure investment loans after experiencing conflicting information from home loan advisors each time they purchased a property. Robyn has now been a mortgage broker since early 2001 and has over 30 investment properties.

“Having been a consumer of a large number of mortgage products and providers I know how important it is to structure the finance with the flexibility to suit not only the current situation but any future purchases. It’s great working together with my clients to assist them to acquire property in the most advantageous way to meet their budget and needs.”

After working in the wine industry for over 8 years as an International Customer Service Officer, Sam decided to use her skills with computers and marketing to establish her own bookkeeping business. She joined Vogue Lending as Administration Manager to gain valuable insight into the mortgage broking industry. This enabled her to demonstrate her people and financial skills and ultimately to complete the Certificate IV in Financial Services to become a loan writer.

“My interest in accounting and data management spurred my initial investigation into becoming a Mortgage Planner. I decided the best way to learn about the industry was to work in it! I have always loved helping family and friends to manage their debt by structuring their budgets around their lifestyle.”
