Having a genuine determination to exceed my client’s expectations is what drives me to succeed in the real estate business. I am a Licensed Real Estate Agent with a passion for property and a strong awareness of the individual needs of each of my vendors.
As a lifelong resident of the Lower North Shore, I have always been well grounded within the local community and have a thorough understanding of the real estate market. What makes me a little bit different from other agents is that I have acquired a range of technical skills from studying for a Bachelor of Business and Masters of Marketing at the University of Technology, Sydney. This knowledge ensures my clients receive a sophisticated, tailored approach to the marketing of their property.
Prior to being involved in real estate, I worked in the Finance industry and gained an impeccable work ethic and invaluable corporate experience, skills which are now put to good use as a real estate professional.
Here is an extraordinary opportunity to own one of North Sydney’s original historic freestanding homes, dating back to 1888.
