Tina started her career in Commercial banking over 20 years ago. After 14 years working in Corporate Finance and Property lending she transitioned into broking as it enabled her to provide a deeper level of service to her clients.

In 2022 Tina joined forces with two other highly experienced brokers creating Aria Financial, a boutique mortgage brokerage that specialises in complex lending, and providing holistic advice to ensure people achieve their personal and business growth strategies.

Outside running a business you’ll see Tina riding her Mountain Bike, lifting weights in the gym or cooking a storm in the kitchen.

When Sunelle is not mastering Customer Service you can find her powerlifting, enjoying the sand between her toes on a beautiful beach or nose deep in her Kindle

Jonathan Sermon believes life is a team game.

His life – both professionally and personally – centres around meeting new people, building relationships and acting as a connector.

Jon is an extrovert and loves people. But it’s also because he recognises we achieve more success and happiness when we work together.

On the professional front, Jon is the Partnership & Alliances manager at Your Empire Buyers Agent. His job is to grow and nurture the company’s referral network, which means he’s constantly meeting and communicating with people.

On the personal front, Jon runs a networking group called BIO Australia, which, as the name suggests, is By Invitation Only. This is a group where interesting people build relationships, share ideas and help each other out.

Jon is also the co-host of Lifestyle Pirates , a podcast that gives him (and his co-host) an excuse to converse with fascinating, inspirational people.
