What drew you to the East Noakes Nickolas office, and how has the move elevated the way you approach your work in Adelaide’s luxury property market?

Moving to the East Noakes Nickolas office felt like a natural evolution for my business, especially as a local resident. I was drawn to the team culture, which values professionalism, innovation and high-end service. The move has sharpened my focus on the luxury sector by giving me access to deeper market insights, stronger collaborations and a refined support system. In a market where details matter, being in an environment that champions excellence has been a game changer.

What do you think defines a true luxury campaign in Adelaide, and how do you tailor your strategy for that segment?

In Adelaide, premium buyers are discerning, well informed and focused on lifestyle outcomes. Luxury isn’t just about price, it’s about craftsmanship, design, privacy, location and the emotional response a home creates. For me, a luxury campaign begins with a tailored strategy including elevated branding, editorial quality photography and film, targeted digital marketing, curated buyer communication and a sales process that feels personal and seamless. I take the time to understand the story of each home and build a narrative that highlights what makes it special. When the marketing is considered and the experience feels curated, the campaign truly connects.

How does being part of the Noakes Nickolas team enhance the experience you deliver to clients?

Being part of Noakes Nickolas allows me to deliver service that is both polished and genuinely personal. The brand has built a strong reputation in Adelaide for its modern, strategic approach, and having that framework behind me means my clients benefit from industry leading marketing, strong buyer networks and exceptional administrative support. In the high-end market, clients want confidence. They need to know their agent can guide a premium sale with discretion, finesse and strong negotiation. The collective expertise within the Noakes Nickolas team elevates every campaign and gives sellers peace of mind that their property is being represented with the highest level of care.

The East has such a distinct lifestyle and architectural character. What excites you most about representing homes in this part of Adelaide?

The Eastern suburbs offer a mix of character, elegance and lifestyle, and as a Norwood local I feel genuinely connected to the area. From leafy streets and heritage homes to contemporary architectural builds and sought after school zones, the East attracts buyers who appreciate quality and community. What excites me most is the diversity. Every home has its own story, whether it is a beautifully restored sandstone villa, a family estate on a tree lined avenue or a striking modern design. There is a real sense of pride in helping people secure a home in an area that is tightly held.
