I love turning people’s dreams into reality and working with the best building designs and product in Australia.

I have worked in the sales and service industry for more than 15 years. Before working with McDonald Jones, I owned and managed two businesses, held roles in hospitality management and worked extensively in the motor vehicle industry.

I always take the time to develop a personal relationship with customers to make sure that I really understand they need and want in their new home. We then work together to turn a design into their house, ensuring they are happy with every millimeter of the home. No two customers are the same, so no two plans should be either. I treat every customer like a family member, keeping their best interests at heart and doing the right thing by them throughout the entire process.

I’m an expert in helping customers find the right block of land to go with the design they love. I help my customers not only create a design that’s right for them, but also with helping them find the right block. I have many contacts with land sales agents and developers around the Mid North Coast and I have been able to secure blocks for my clients they wouldn’t have known about without my assistance. I also take the time to show my customers around the different developments in the area to make sure they know about everything that is available.

My daughter is eight years old and the light of my life. Guiding her towards achieving her goals and watching her grow into an amazing young woman is definitely my biggest accomplishment.

My no-fluff, upfront, honest and humble approach helps my customers turn plans on paper into a home they will love for years to come. Combined with an enthusiastic, understanding approach and an in-depth knowledge of the building process, this ensures my clients feel confident and comfortable through the whole process.

Building a home is not like buying a new car! There is no set price depending on the model. Many factors – like the Bushfire Attack Level of the land, the slope on the block and BASIX - can affect the cost of the build. But I like to give people the closest indication I can of what they can expect to spend on the build, so I always find out as much as I can about their block and what level of inclusion they would like so I can best tailor a price to suit them.

There are many factors that come into play when building a new home, and that means build times vary. The design, colour and finish choices, council approval and weather during the build all play a role. But at the moment on the Mid North Coast, we have an average build time of four and a half months.

Building a new home is surprisingly affordable compared to the pre-established market in the Mid North Coast. In many cases, it has even been cheaper to build rather than buy. Building a new home means you have peace of mind with your purchase because of the warranties and guarantees you receive with your new home.
