Founder of Abundance and Beyond, Syphers has grown and developed a career in supporting women going through separations.
These types of clients gravitated towards her naturally. After experiencing how rewarding these client successes could be, Syphers dedicated her business to supporting vulnerable women.
Women going through divorce need more than a broker, said Syphers. They’re after a trusted professional who can guide them through unfamiliar territory. Empathy and clarity are key.
These circumstances require a different approach. Syphers noted that emotional weight, financial stress, fear, uncertainty, and sometimes shame are heavy themes that must be considered in servicing these borrowers.
However, through the journey, these borrowers are making it out the other side in a position of power.
“That transformation is everything. I’ve seen women go from thinking they’d never own property again to settling into their own homes with pride,” said Syphers.
Other than the emotional weight that comes with divorcee loans, complexity is a core component.
This comes in the form of recently separated assets, informal agreements, or pending settlements. Not to mention ongoing legal proceedings that are common, spousal maintenance, and shifting custody arrangements that impact financials.
“You have to slow it down, simplify the process, and give people room to breathe while still being strategic and outcome-focused. It’s a different energy than a standard loan, and it requires a more holistic approach,” she said.
Syphers is thriving in her niche and encourages others who are passionate about certain demographics to home in on a niche.
“I think every broker should consider finding a niche but only if it comes from a place of genuine connection. A niche isn’t just a marketing angle. You need to fully understand the client’s needs and challenges. My niche gives me purpose and direction. But I also keep my skills sharp across other lending scenarios which keeps my work diverse and interesting,” added Syphers.
