Pivot client story w. Oliver – How to get onto the property ladder without sacrificing your lifestyle
Oliver was an expat living in Australia with his family and had been moving countries for a few years and hadn’t taken the time to focus on finances and think about their future.
Having a conservative money mindset with a focus on saving, taking the leap to do anything with their money felt daunting.
Oliver was a ‘numbers guy’, but quickly realised that his expertise wasn’t going to help him navigate homeownership.
Oliver and his family knew they needed a clear plan in place to shift home ownership from a dream into reality.
