About Anita

As the General Manager at Lifestyle Gold Coast, I bring over 18 years of experience selling, leasing, and managing homes in the southern Gold Coast and Northern NSW region. With a business and marketing degree and extensive real estate knowledge, I offer clients a unique blend of local expertise and global perspective, having travelled to over 68 countries and worked in Europe and North America. I’ve been a property investor since my early 30s, and my top strengths include listening to clients’ needs, leveraging in-depth property knowledge, and keeping deals on track to ensure the best outcomes.

Growing up on the Gold Coast and coming from a family with deep roots in real estate and property development, my path to real estate was a natural one. After gaining experience in professional services and marketing roles in Brisbane, Sydney, and abroad, I joined my mother, Lorraine, in real estate on the Gold Coast in 2006. My father is a builder, and my grandparents were developers; combined with my mother’s real estate expertise, my family’s real estate expertise shaped my approach to selling and managing properties. Today, my mother and I run Lifestyle Gold Coast together, continuing our family’s legacy. I also bring unique insights from my experience as a relocation agent in Canada and my work as a body corporate manager, where I handled everything from renovations to managing funds.

The southern end of the Gold Coast has a charm that blends new developments with older, classic home styles. Having witnessed the area’s gentrification and growth, I appreciate the improvements that have made this region a prime destination for families and retirees. From beachside living to inland estates, the Gold Coast offers a mix of lifestyle options that attract homebuyers and investors alike. The area is known for its four-bedroom family homes and two-bedroom units, and I love helping clients find the right property to suit their needs, whether they’re moving locally or from interstate.

As a licensed agent in both Queensland and New South Wales, I handle both sales and leasing while also overseeing our agency’s property management division. I have extensive experience with houses, apartments, townhouses, and duplexes, and I guide my clients through their property journey, whether selling a family home or managing an investment property. With a strong knowledge of body corporate matters and a track record of successfully handling property disputes in QCAT and NCAT, I am skilled at navigating complex property issues and always aim to help my clients avoid potential legal pitfalls.

My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and confidentiality. I understand the challenges my clients face, whether selling due to life changes or simply looking to move on to the next chapter. I handle every detail with care, ensuring contracts are precise and that my clients are supported throughout the process. With a keen eye for market trends, I work hard to secure the best results, always maintaining rapport with buyers, tenants, and other stakeholders.

If you’re considering selling or leasing a property, I’d be happy to provide you with a no-obligation FREE appraisal and outline how I can negotiate the highest price for your property. Contact me at Lifestyle Gold Coast for expert guidance.
