I love that I have the Honor of making clients' dreams of building a new home come true.
I have so many pinch me moments with my role whether it’s seeing the smiles and excitement on my customers faces, driving past the homes I helped create from the first discussion and draft plans.

I’ve been part of the McDonald Jones family for 8 years and look forward to many more to come. I have a background in interior design and property staging. I always wished I’d studied Architecture in my youth. So, as you can imagine I am in my dream job now.

I like to build a trusted relationship with my customers offering honest informed guidance.
Every customers build journey is different for many reasons, they could be building their first home, family home, down sizing or as an investment. A home is the biggest purchase someone will make in their lifetime, especially their first Home.

I like to start our conversation by listening to all the dreams my customer has for their new home and allowing me to provide all the information required so they can make a well-informed decision on the choice of their design.

I can particularly connect with first home buyers as I have two sons of my own and I have experienced how big and exciting buying your first home can be. I was able to help guide them through the whole process.

I would say I am very diverse as my current position in Cooranbong calls for all types of build projects. I see a lot of Knock Down Rebuilds around the Lake Macquarie area with customers choosing to stay at their current address. We are situated in the Watagan Park Estate and service all Estates through the Central Coast up to Hunter Valley, so we see many new Greenfield Builds coming through. We have great awareness of all Estate Guidelines and current block availability.

My biggest accomplishment to date is seeing so many customers complete their builds. It gives me great gratitude to see what I was able to help them achieve. I must say I truly love to see everyday families taking on their new build. The children get so excited which warms my heart!

As a Building and Design Consultant I endeavour to ensure a genuine, seamless, stress-free experience for my customers whilst achieving the best outcomes for their new build. I make myself readily available to my customers through the whole process and love watching as their beautiful home comes to life.

Of course. I have great relationships with all Developers from the Central  Coast to Upper Hunter Valley. Once we know the area of interest I can source the available block to help you choose the best building block.
 

Of course you can. We can customise the plan to make it suit your lifestyle. Let me know what you're thinking, and I can draw it up for you.
