my story
Hi, I’m Danielle — your Property Matchmaker, daily ocean swimmer, and proud mum of three teenage boys.
My connection to the Northern Beaches began in the 1970s, visiting my grandparents in Avalon Beach. Nearly 20 years ago, I returned to raise my own family, and Avalon has been home ever since.
What began as offering friendly advice and connections to fellow Montessori mums evolved into a full-time real estate career. Actively involved in the local community, I’m trusted for my insider knowledge, thoughtful guidance, and deep local connections.
With over a decade in real estate, and more than 30 years in corporate sales and customer service leadership, I bring experience, empathy, and negotiation skills to every client relationship.
Having lived across Australia and abroad, I combine a global perspective with genuine Northern Beaches insight and knowledge. As Your Property Matchmaker, I’m here to help you find not just a house, but a home and lifestyle that feels truly right.
