Sara Perez
I joined The Grove Financial Group because I feel deeply called to serve others with excellence and to create meaningful connections. My background as both a small business owner and a mom of three has shaped how I approach my work- with energy, a “get it done” attitude, and a passion of connecting others to solutions.
Faith and family are at the center of my life. I’m a passionate follower of Jesus, wife to my college sweetheart Allan, and mom to three wonderful kids who keep me busy cheering from the sidelines, celebrating recitals, and enjoying time together. Assisting Chaz and Eric in this role allows me to use my skills and experiences to support our clients and team, making sure each person feels cared for and valued.
