For more than 15 years I’ve worked for and with some of Australia’s biggest real estate groups and have extensive experience in property management, real estate sales, buyer's advocacy and corporate relocations.

Most recently I worked as a Corporate Relocation Consultant helping business executives and their families move to Brisbane from interstate or overseas. My role was to find them the perfect suburb, home and even schools. I spent my days researching Brisbane real estate and infrastructure, providing personalised tours of local suburbs and managing the sale, purchase and leasing of property on their behalf. As a result, I know the Brisbane property market inside out!

I loved helping clients to find and settle into their new home however I became increasingly frustrated by my own experiences with real estate agencies and more specifically, incompetent property managers who barely cared about basic maintenance requirements (that ultimately turn into big, costly issues) and worse, would often take a week or two to transition clients into a property - costing the landlord thousands of dollars in lost rent!

I knew I could do it better, which was my motivation to establish Habitat Property Agents.
