Posted on William HuangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle was an excellent buyers agent for me. I asked her to find a unicorn I could not find myself. She found a property that met rare criteria, and then some, that was within price range. Danielle was helpful with the negotiation process and progress to to exchange and beyond. It's tough to buy well in Sydney while you're busy earning the income required. Danielle is a pleasant, but very effective ally in this process. I would recommend her.Posted on Sarah Morton-RamwellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle is fantastic to work with! She goes above and beyond to help.

Working with Danielle as our buyers agent was an absolute pleasure. Her market knowledge, negotiation skills, and attention to details were evident from our first meeting. Danielle provided clear guidance throughout the entire process, responded promptly to all of our questions, and went above and beyond to ensure every element of the purchase was handled smoothly. We are incredibly grateful for Danielle’s support and would happily recommend her to anyone.Posted on Charlie McNeillTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle was essential in finding my new home. She put an amazing amount of care, time and effort into the search.

Thank you Dani!! 🙏🏽🤗Posted on Linda NTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. “It was certainly serendipity when our daughter introduced Danielle to us as we prepared to relocate from the Hills District to the Northern Beaches. Danielle was so knowledgeable in the process of buying and selling, reassuring us all the way and incredibly helpful when we found the home we really loved. Danielle took over all the negotiations, making the whole process so much smoother for us. She is cool under pressure, which is so important in potentially stressful situations. What was very important to us was that Danielle was always contactable and nothing was too much trouble. I have no hesitation in recommending Danielle to anyone buying a home and would be happy to be contacted if more information is required.” – L.N.Posted on Kathy CaveTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When buying a property, there are moments when the pros and cons are finely balanced and as the buyer, you are the only one who can make the decision. In 2024 and 2025, Danielle created space for me so I could decide on my new home with limited stress. Her amazing attention to detail and follow up of issues gave me confidence that all the bases were covered and we had all the available information. She also took time to get to know me. She understood when to encourage, when to provide data or reminders of my priorities and when to allow me space. It was delightful working with her and I highly recommend her services.Posted on Tiffany JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle has been our guide and guardian angel since we arrived in Avalon 6 years ago. She welcomed us in her parent leadership role at Montessori where our kids first went to school and her support continued as we settled into the community. Whenever we needed a referral for the house we were designing and building, she was our go-to and remains the first number on our dial. Her connections are limitless and her responsiveness is bar none. But it’s her warmth and genuine care for helping others that sets her apart from her peers (she’s looked after our human and fur babies like family as ours live overseas) which reflects the kind of friendship you can expect that goes well beyond her professional expertise and experience. We can’t thank or recommend Danielle enough and hope she changes your life as she has ours.Posted on Marianne HurzelerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It is without hesitation that I recommend Danielle Forde as a buyer's agent. Not only is she exceptionally skilled, but she also has a genuinely wonderful personality that made the entire process smooth. One of her greatest strengths is the strong relationship she has built within the real estate industry. These connections directly benefited me (we could access properties before they were listed, and we received honest insights from real estate agents she had known for years). Buying a property was a source of stress for me, and I was struggling to find the time and energy to go through this process, but Danielle made it really easy for me and demonstrated a lot of patience, kindness, and wisdom.Posted on Georgia BarrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I purchased my first property with Danielle in 2024. The conversation started as more of an exploration on whether I should be looking into property in my early 20s, and if so, how to approach such a daunting experience! However within a couple of weeks, Danielle was able to open up my horizons in the property market by helping me look interstate across Australia, into more affordable markets. Danielle and I had regular catch ups where she would suggest properties, and help me understand what to look out for (good and bad!). She was patient, kind, and calm throughout the search and purchase process which was a saving grace. I cannot wait to buy another property with Danielle down the line.Posted on Joanna KerrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Danielle was a consummate professional every step of the way. With so much knowledge to share. In what could have been a really tricky time Danielle was there to help. I would recommend her strongly.
Belrose offers a balanced, convenient family lifestyle. It has excellent access to schools, sporting facilities, shopping centres, parks and bush trails. Streets are wide and peaceful, blocks are generous, and there’s a strong sense of practical ease.

In Belrose, renovated family homes and homes near popular school precincts also frequently sell before reaching online campaigns.
