Proudly Purchased: What a home-not only does it have a grand street presence but it is also on a huge inner city block (double title 810sqm).
My clients who were relocating from Sydney had a vision of living in a Queenslander and I was happy to make it a reality!
This home offers location, character, future potential and aspect to capture those afternoon breezes on the back deck. It has been an absolute pleasure working along side this young family and making them feel like a local here in Brisbane. ✨✨
Now unconditional 🌟🌟🌟
This Grand Queenslander just landed herself some lovely new owners.
This home had a lot of attention in it’s short time on the market but all the good properties do.
More details coming soon......
It fills my heart with joy to watch my clients dream home coming to life. 💫💫

A big part of my role is not just about the property but the location and lifestyle it will deliver.
For my clients that aren’t local I do everything I can to familiarise them with the neighbourhoods they are considering. Making sure the suburb is what they are looking for. #personalisedservice
From personalised maps to videos/photos and many conversations about the area. It has become crucial as currently I have clients who can’t fly into Queensland. This family wanted to be in an area with playgrounds, good coffee, neighbourhood wine bars and multiple commuting options. I know it’s all of these things in a community that add to a home. If it’s a weekend walk to the park with a coffee in hand that makes you smile 😊 I know lots of great options. #brisbanesuburbs #movetobrisbane #brisbaneanyday #aussieexpats #localknowledge #theinformedbuyer

Client Brief: This property has now been secured for a deserving first home buyer.
A top floor, three bed unit with district views from the oversized north facing balcony was the result . More details to come. Thanks for your professional approach on the sales side @real_estate_rach
What a charming cottage in a much loved suburb.
Congratulations to my lovely clients who were brave enough to buy through Covid at an online auction with my help.
This home has so many loveable features. Oozing street appeal- it’s all 100 year old cottage at the front and architectural modern convenience at the back.
We searched high and low for an adorable cottage and we sure found it 🤩🤩🤩.
This recent client feedback made my day, why??? Because I want my clients to absolutely love their new home. I want them to smile every time they arrive home and when this email landed unexpectedly I knew someone was standing in their new home smiling 😁. Like that proud smile of ‘look at this place and I live here’! #homesweethome

Purchased off market and confidently through these uncertain times!
My client settled last week on their dream home and we couldn’t be happier.
(Social distancing hugs all round).
This property was found off market and it ticked every box and more.
In a time when everyone is uncertain of what to do my client pounced on their new home and made it theirs for a price that filled them with confidence.
I know they will enjoy this home for many years to come and the perfect location too.
The other great bonus is that I also purchased the home next door last year. So I was able to introduce all these lovely people who are now neighbours!
My work here is done but I can’t wait to celebrate with both neighbours soon!
𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐦!!!
We can do this people......
let’s face it we are doing it 👊👊 and our homes are hopefully stepping up to the challenge too!!
Where is everyone putting their classroom next week???
Ok happy to start..... we are using the guest room (no visitors anyway). We have pushed the bed over to the corner now known as the ‘cosy reading corner’ and popped the camping table up for the school desk. The kids have coloured some fun pictures to pop behind them on video calls with their class mates.
It will do for short term 🤞 school at home. The camping table has sharpie all over it but hey I am sure that will bring back memories one day of this crazy time. 📷 from back in the day of the ‘open home’. This one was in Toowong with @anne.mcgrathwilston
Happy Easter to everyone!
I am sure it will be a different one but something to remember. Our camping plans have been postponed so we will be painting our fence and spending more time at home as a family. #mariokart #roahldahl #roastdinners
I am sure we will eat way too much chocolate but right now that seems like a good plan. 🐰 🐰
Client currently seeking!!! My most ready to buy client is searching for this..... an inner city apartment.
Most important feature is a green leafy outlook. 🌳 🌳 🌳
When it comes to apartment buys I always look for a unique feature that will stand the test is time.
I know I have spoken to many agents directly but if anyone has anything that could fit please get in touch. ☎️ 0427623639
Home sweet Home through these times.
Another great way to use every inch of space at home while we move through this- that driveway and car parking space. Whether it’s hand ball 🎾 , hopscotch, scooter 🛴 track or chalk board! I am loving seeing this and we have been doing the same. Not as good as this one though.
Cars 🚙 move out of the way some good old fashioned fun is being had in your space!
Thanks for the share @twogirlsandalaptop 📷 thanks to a friend
Have our homes ever been more important....... Over the past few weeks we have all been busy transforming our home sweet home into our place for everything!
It’s our new workplace, where we exercise, school our kids, new family schedules are being put in place. Every nook and corner is being used and it makes me happy to see people enjoying their homes and neighbourhood in new ways.
Let’s share some ideas of what we are doing and enjoying about this time...... Ok I will start. 🙋🏻♀️. I am loving seeing people sitting on their front decks again. Using it as a quiet space to read, a cup of tea while waving hello to neighbours passing by. This space was for dust and shoe collections is now getting used for what they were originally designed for. 😊 📷 @rwnewfarm of a recent client’s purchase in Wooloowin.
