  • She is passionate about improving the buying and selling process for buyers, sellers, and agents.

I have a really vivid memory of my mum breaking down in tears on auction day as she and my dad tried to sell our family home. The whole process was overwhelming and stressful, especially because the outcome would determine whether they could afford to retire.

That memory stays with me nearly every day, because when someone is selling a property, there’s often so much more going on beneath the surface.

One of the reasons I love working at OpenAgent is because we're committed to making it easier for people to buy and sell property, so people like my mum don’t have to end up in tears.
