Mosman | Downsizer Home

After making their home in the Southern Highlands, my clients found themselves drawn to Sydney as their adult children had all relocated to the city. The need for a Sydney base became more than a convenience, it became a priority, driven by a desire to be close to their children and grandchildren.

Their brief was clear: a fully renovated character home, walking distance to Mosman Village. High on their list of non-negotiables were a pool, a small low-maintenance yard and a floor plan that was either single-level or could accommodate a future elevator, ensuring the home would serve them comfortably for years to come.

The property we secured ticked every box. Elegant, private, and beautifully finished, it offered not only the lifestyle they had envisioned but the long term liveability they needed. My deep local network and thorough understanding of their brief allowed us to move decisively when the right opportunity arose.

Curl Curl | Family Home

When a downsizing family from the Upper North Shore approached me to help with their sea change move, they had a clear vision - more lifestyle, less maintenance, and a fresh start by the beach.

I introduced them to several outstanding off market properties, one in particular caught their eye but with their home not yet sold, they hesitated. Just three weeks later, they were ready to move forward, but by then, the property had launched with a price guide over $500K higher than originally discussed.

Rather than chasing what was now becoming a competitive campaign, I redirected their attention to a property they had previously dismissed. A closer inspection revealed that while slightly narrower than the home they had their hearts set on, this one sat on a larger block, had more internal space and rather than district ocean views, it was absolute beachfront. A remarkable trade-up.

Willoughby | Family Home

Relocating to Sydney from Adelaide, this young family was facing significant time pressure to secure a new home before the start of the school year. With their children enrolled into private schools, proximity to the school run buses, the city for work and family-friendly streets high on the priority list, we cast a wide net across the Lower North Shore, Willoughby quickly emerged as a standout.

After a competitive campaign, we walked away as underbidders at auction for a beautifully renovated home in the area. On leaving the auction grounds, the agent contacted us with a rare opportunity: an invitation to view an exclusive off-market property just a few streets away, the first of only two groups to be offered access.

The moment we stepped inside, it was clear this was something special. The high-spec renovation, architectural detail, and warm, considered finishes exceeded every expectation. In fact, the home surpassed the one they’d just missed in both quality and alignment with their vision.

Mosman | Downsizer Unit

After nearly five decades in her cherished Manly waterfront home, complete with its own harbour pool, my client was ready for a fresh start. While she was open to change, she admitted she’d miss the water most of all. Her one request: if she had to leave Manly Harbour, she wanted to trade it for something equally special.

Within just two weeks of the search, I found an exceptional Mosman apartment boasting sensational front row views of the Harbour Bridge, Opera House, and Fort Denison and, remarkably, its own harbour pool and heritage landscaping done in the same style of her Manly waterfront. It was clear: this was the one.

Having not bought or sold in nearly 50 years, the process felt overwhelming for her at first. From due diligence to final settlement, I helped guide her through every step, ensuring the experience felt as calm and considered as the home she was moving into.

Artarmon | Downsizer Home

After more than 30 years in the same family home, my client was ready for a fresh chapter but the process of letting go, searching, and securing the right home felt understandably daunting.

We worked together to define a clear brief: low-maintenance living without compromising on quality, space, or location. With that in mind, I tapped into my off-market network and uncovered a beautifully maintained, private property that aligned perfectly with her lifestyle goals.

Not only did the home deliver on all fronts it was also secured off-market, below the asking price and under budget. A rare combination in they Sydney market.

With the purchase secured, she now turns her attention to packing up three decades of memories and preparing for a new, exciting chapter.

Mosman | Contemporary Apartment

When a local business owner came to me looking for his first property, he had a clear vision: low maintenance living, walkable location and views that would make coming home feel like a reward. He wasn’t just looking for a place to live, he wanted a home that reflected his lifestyle and long-term goals.

We focused the search around Mosman, attracted by its village atmosphere, proximity to the city and the beach and with high-quality properties that refelcted his personal style. After inspecting several options, we came across a standout property: a light-filled apartment with panoramic city and Harbour views and a prime position near cafes, transport and Balmoral Beach.

The property offered exactly what he was after, privacy, outlook and future capital growth, I was able to negotiate a strong result prior to auction taking out the competition after only two opens.

Mosman | First Homebuyers

This young couple came to me as first-home buyers with a dream of owning something beautiful, but with a mindset shaped by compromise. They expected to settle, assuming a stepping stone home in a less central suburb was their only realistic option.

So when I came across a stunning upper duplex apartment in Mosman, already on the market and heading to auction, they initially dismissed it as out of reach. Beautifully renovated and full of character, it was exactly their style but in a location they never thought they could afford.

What changed the outcome was the relationship I had with the selling agent. Behind the scenes, I was able to open up a direct line of communication and negotiate strategically, ultimately securing the property before auction and within budget.

Mosman | Family Home

Relocating from the UK, this family came to me with a detailed wishlist and a clear vision for their forever home. With children to consider, lifestyle goals to meet and a desire to truly settle, they were looking for a property that delivered on every level, from space and layout to light, liveability and location.

They had grown to love the position of their rental home in Beauty Point and hoped to stay in the area, though they knew finding the right long-term home nearby would be a challenge. What they didn’t expect was to find their dream home directly across the road and off-market.

Thanks to a longstanding and trusted relationship with the selling agent, we were the only group taken through the property. Combined with a deep understanding of my clients’ brief, we were able to move quickly and secure a home that met every single requirement, including their ultimate wish of expansive views over Middle Harbour. It wasn’t just a great match it was the exact home they’d hoped for, in the location they’d already fallen in love with.

Willoughby | Investment Unit

Having just sold their family home in Willoughby and purchased in a downsizer-friendly development nearby, my clients were looking for a unit for their adult daughter that offered comfort, security, and close connection.

Their brief was thoughtful and clear: two bedrooms, level or lift access, a lock-up garage and ideally something within walking distance of their new home. The emotional value of proximity was just as important as the practical needs.

Within days I found the perfect property, a ground floor two bedroom apartment, visible from their new residence, offering rare peace of mind. It featured a great floorplan, very low strata levies and potential to create a second bathroom from the oversized laundry, adding long-term value.

Though on the market with over 20 groups through on its first open, I quickly submitted an offer that met the vendor’s needs and timeline, allowing us to secure the property with confidence. Settlements aligned seamlessly, enabling both moves to be completed with ease and their family’s future firmly in place.

Neutral Bay | Family Home

My clients had been searching for a family home in on the Lower North Shore when they came across a grand Federation residence with harbour views in Neutral Bay, a rare and beautiful home that captured their hearts immediately. The only hesitation was it was priced above their budget. Despite that, the home clearly stood out as the one. It had been on the market for some time and passed in at auction with only two registered bidders, my clients being the highest on the day.

With the vendor holding firm on a price above market response, negotiations stalled. However, I stayed closely connected with the agent and continued to advocate for my clients’ position. A few weeks later, as vendor expectations softened, I was able to re-engage, negotiate and secure the property for a figure slightly above our auction offer but still well below the original asking price.

The result was a strategic, emotionally satisfying outcome on a Federation home with sweeping views, in a location they love, secured with confidence and care.

Wamberal | Holiday Home

When my clients began dreaming of a holiday home on the Central Coast, they weren’t just after a weekend escape, they wanted a property that would offer a true sense of retreat and long-term value for their family.

Knowing the importance of strong local insight, I partnered with a trusted colleague based on the Central Coast to ensure we had the right eyes and relationships, on the ground. Together, we refined the brief and coordinated the search, blending my deep understanding of the clients’ lifestyle and vision with his intimate knowledge of the local market.

After exploring several options, we secured a beautiful property that offered everything they were hoping for, elegant coastal charm, plenty of room for guests, and close proximity to the beach all at a strong price point with great future potential.

Confidential | Trophy Home Redevelopment

Engaged by a private client seeking a family estate, I was tasked with securing a prestige waterfront property with redevelopment potential, where position, privacy and future vision aligned.

The search took almost 12 months, a highly considered process involving off-market discussions, feasibility reviews and a meticulous alignment of position, orientation and future potential. While a number of impressive properties were viewed, the right site needed to offer something exceptional.

That opportunity came in the form of a deep waterfront property, with direct water access and the scope to create something truly extraordinary, the property attracted strong interest from both local and international buyers.

With confidentiality front of mind, I navigated the process on behalf of my client in a tightly controlled manner. The result was a seamless acquisition reflecting one of the area’s most significant residential transactions in recent years.

Turramurra | Renovation Project

Relocating from the UK, this couple was searching for more than just a house, they wanted to create a long term Sydney base that their grown children, now living all over the world, could return to and call home. Their brief was clear: a character-filled property with renovation potential, in a peaceful pocket of the North Shore.

They weren’t looking for turnkey, they were drawn to possibility. After narrowing in on their preferred suburbs, we identified a home on the market that offered the perfect combination of scale, light, garden space, and the kind of floor plan and land size that could be reimagined over time.

With a strong understanding of the market and a clear negotiation strategy, we secured the property leaving them with room in their budget to bring their vision to life.

Erskineville | Downsizer Home

After raising their family in Northern NSW, my clients found themselves drawn to Sydney, as all of their adult children had relocated to the city for university and the couple were ready to make their next strategic move: purchasing a Sydney base that blended lifestyle, location and long-term return.

Although this was their tenth property purchase and they were highly experienced buyers, they chose to engage me to act on their behalf, recognising that Sydney’s competitive inner-city market would require strong agent relationships, local knowledge and fast, informed action.

To ensure we had every angle covered, I teamed up with a trusted colleague who specialises in the Inner West. Together, we combined our networks and insight to identify a home that not only met the brief but exceeded it.

Frenchs Forest | Family Home

This young family came to me with a clear brief, they needed more space, wanted to stay on the Northern Beaches and were working within a tight budget, all while preparing to welcome their second child. With baby number two arriving midway through the process, we paused and pivoted when needed, but always stayed focused on finding the perfect home.

After nearly six months of searching, I was contacted with a pre-market opportunity and we were invited to view the home before it’s first open. It ticked all the boxes, a leafy outlook, multiple living zones and scope to add value over time, within a price point that worked. With a motivated vendor, we quickly moved forward with an offer and secured the property before the first open.

It wasn’t just about finding a home, it was about finding the right home for this next chapter of their lives, the wait turned out to be worth it.
