Using a mortgage broker makes good sense
If you're in the market for a new home or investment property, it's a pretty exciting time. You've got all those properties to look at, all those agents to talk to, all those homes to try to imagine yourself living in now and in 5-10 years time. It's exciting but sometimes a little daunting too. You may also be trying to sell your own home, keeping [...]
Time for research
Spring is almost on our doorstep and that means that the real estate market is getting ready to heat up. Winter has seen a bit of uncertainty in the market and some slowdowns in certain areas around the country, but as the experts say, the aim is to buy and sell in the same market. If you've got itchy feet and you're ready to move or you're determined [...]
A snapshot of property market in the Northern Beaches

Our clients come from all over Australia, and the property market differs wherever you are.

How do you know the right sale price?
Autumn is here! Whilst I love summer, I really love this time of year. It's a bit cooler, things seem less manic, we're basking in the glow of summer and making the most of the warmer days that we're gifted with. The real estate market has slowed down a little after another bumper summer sales season. Listings are still strong - as is demand. Interest rates [...]
Turning a house into a home
There's something very satisfying about turning a house or unit into your home. I think it taps into your basic needs of shelter, security and belonging. It also requires you to tap into both your creative and logical sides - making rooms beautiful as well as functional. Having recently moved house, it's really top of mind for me. Working with someone like you who is either [...]
Happy New Year
Happy New Year! I hope you had a relaxing break and caught up on some of those jobs that you put on your “one day” list. I have a huge end to the year and really enjoyed having some downtime. We’re also moving house in the next little while, so there was lots of sorting, culling and organising in preparation for the move. 2018 is looking [...]
Merry Christmas 2017
Another year has nearly passed and I've learnt a lot - both professionally and personally. Professionally, it's reinforced how much I love doing what I do. Helping people achieve security for their family through home ownership or accumulate wealth for their future through property investing or even helping make sure that someone has got a loan that is manageable for them right now - these are [...]
The property market is looking up
There's always talk about what's going on in the property market. It seems to be the favourite talk around the barbecue and dinner table. There's speculation, forecasting, research and opinions. So I'm going to join in on the talk because I'm excited about what I'm seeing. After a long stretch of being firmly wedged in a seller's market, the property market seems to be finally balancing [...]
