About Me
A North Shore local my entire life, I have worked in real estate for 29 years, with 22 of those at Home Property Agents. My focus is predominantly on property management, along with helping investors sell their properties, supported by Gabi and Anthony Somlai. My role includes overseeing maintenance and advising on renovations, and helping investors make improvements to attract great tenants without overcapitalising.
Throughout a tenancy, I prioritise clear communication between tenants and landlords to resolve any issues quickly and successfully, and I liaise with tenants to ensure rent is paid on time. Helping first-time investors understand their responsibilities or convert their first home into an investment property is a regular part of my work, along with liaising with overseas landlords. I also manage routine inspections and outgoing property reports, and identify and resolve maintenance issues early with the help of our team of trusted tradespeople.
Conducting rental market analysis to set optimal rental rates is essential to successful property management, as is handling tenant disputes and representing landlords at NCAT, although we generally avoid this outcome with thorough reference and database checks. Managing a substantial portfolio of properties across Sydney, the majority on the lower north shore, I am proud to have clients stretching back for two decades.
