Meet Our Founder, Lauren
Hi! I'm Lauren Tennent, founder of Central Home Loans. Living locally on our sheep and beef farm with my husband George & our two energetic girls, I understand that life moves fast! My goal is to simplify financial jargon and make this journey as easy and stress-free as possible, by communicating clearly, utilising my relationships with fabulous local industry professionals, and offering a variety of options so that you're always in control.
The finance industry has undergone dramatic changes since I began my career in banking in 2015, however my passion for financial advice continues to grow. Changes to financial legislation can make obtaining finance tricky, which makes getting the right financial advice even more crucial in this environment. Opening up about finances can feel vulnerable and overwhelming, so step into a judgement-free zone and let's chat about your next step!
