From Surviving to Thriving: Why Katrina is the Broker Every Single Parent Needs

From Surviving to Thriving: Why Katrina is the Broker Every Single Parent Needs

Separation is hard. Emotionally. Mentally. Financially.

Trying to rebuild while caring for little ones and worrying about keeping or finding a home can feel impossible. And that’s something Katrina knows all too well.

Before she became a broker, Katrina was a single mum of two, juggling life, bills and the weight of uncertainty. What helped her through? Property. More specifically understanding how to use it.

Having already invested in real estate, Katrina had the knowledge (and grit) to navigate her way through banks, paperwork and all the red tape that comes with trying to secure finance when life feels messy.

And now? She’s made it her mission to help others do the same.

From understanding how your post-separation income stacks up, to navigating tricky support assessments and structuring your loan to suit your real lifestyle Katrina’s approach is all about making the process less intimidating and more empowering.

Many of the strategies she now shares were ones she discovered herself. She knows the difference a creative solution (and a kind voice on the other end of the phone) can make when you’re at a crossroads.

Homeownership is still possible and you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Katrina’s biggest passion is helping single mums and dads keep their homes or take that brave first step into ownership post-separation. Why? Because she believes everyone deserves the chance to build stability, security and a fresh start.

"I cannot recommend Katrina highly enough. As a single mother, navigating the property market and finance world on my own felt overwhelming but Katrina made the entire journey not only possible but empowering.

She secured my second home loan with incredible efficiency and care, and then went above and beyond by guiding me through the process of setting up and using my self-managed super fund to purchase my third property. Her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine passion for helping her clients build wealth and security are unmatched.

Thanks to Katrina, I am now in a financial position I never thought I’d reach on my own. Her support and direction have truly changed my life. If you’re looking for a broker who is not only brilliant at what she does but also genuinely invested in your future, Katrina is the one"
