“I grew up on the Mornington Peninsula, so I have always loved being close to the water, however I found myself spending a lot of time in the eastern suburbs and eventually moving to Mount Dandenong where I lived for 17 years. I moved back to Bayside with my family and opened a real estate office locally.
I am a proud mum of an 8-year-old boy who attends school locally and is involved in weekend sports at the football and basketball club.
Real estate has allowed me to help others with their most important decisions in life, buying and selling, whether it be for first home buyers, families, downsizers, investors, and developers.
Building a reputation on honest advice and hard work, I believe I’m admired for my ethical approach and the relationships I make with my clients. Building relationships with my clients that have lasted decades and continue to grow in the Bayside area, which I call home.
Mentoring, teaching and training new recruits in real estate has been a passion of mine while owning and operating my own real estate office. Along with head office training roles and franchise growth roles in the industry, I have also spent time over the years sharing knowledge with others in an industry I love. What could be better than that!
Bayside Real Estate Advocates enables me to help my existing and past clients and a vast array of new clients. Most of my business is word of mouth and because we offer such a personal and boutique service it allows our clients to get back to living their lives knowing they have 100% support in dealing with their buying and selling needs. My clients know their best interests are being looked after and that brings me great joy.”
