Born and raised in a country town, I always had a dream of coastal living. So, when the opportunity came up for my husband Peter and I to make the move to Bowen, we jumped at the chance to embrace the beachside lifestyle we had always imagined. What started as a move for lifestyle quickly grew into a passion when we established our own real estate business—something that has become such a rewarding part of our lives. Bowen proved to be the perfect place to raise our family, build lifelong friendships and become part of a welcoming community we truly love.

Real estate is so much more than buying and selling homes to me—it’s about genuinely caring about people to help them find where their next chapter begins. Nothing beats the
feeling of seeing someone finally find the home they absolutely love. Raised with strong values of honesty, respect and integrity, I believe in treating everyone the way I would want to be treated.

Alongside real estate, auctions have also played a huge role in our journey. Over the years, Peter and I have been involved in thousands of chattel and charity auctions, with me
personally running many high-energy sales involving huge crowds of bidders. I thrive in fast-paced environments and have always taken pride in being quick, efficient and organised—right through to balancing everything before moving onto the next task.

I believe real estate is about people first, which is why clients can expect a caring, patient and honest approach, backed by strong values and a solid work ethic throughout the entire
journey. I understand that buying or selling property can feel overwhelming at times, so my aim is always to make the experience as comfortable, stress-free and enjoyable as possible. I pride myself on being approachable and available to answer questions any time —big or small—because no question is ever too much when it comes to such an important decision.

Behind the scenes, I’m the one who keeps everything moving smoothly; organising, liaising, processing paperwork and often being the first point of call when you need absolutely
anything. Having run a number of businesses alongside my husband over the years, I’ve developed a strong attention to detail and understand just how important accuracy,
communication and follow-through are to achieving the best outcome for our clients.

A little fun fact about me—when it comes to paperwork and organisation, I’m a touch OCD (in the best possible way!), and repetition has never bothered me one bit. In fact, I secretly enjoy getting the details just right! I’d also like to think I’m a very patient person and love having a laugh (let’s be honest with Peter as my hubby I need a good sense of humour). According to my kids, I’m also a bit of a germ-a-phobe—let’s just say sharing water bottles has never been my thing.

Outside of work, my kids and grandies are my absolute world, closely followed by keeping active, enjoying a good book and never saying no to chocolate. I’ve always had a passion for homes, interiors and decorating, and I’ll admit I’ve been guilty of changing paint colours to match my mood more than once! Most of all, owning a business in Bowen has given me a genuine love for helping people find their dream home—and with beautiful beaches thrown into the mix, it makes what I do even more rewarding.
