Interview with a local

Emma Brown-Garrett

Clovelly NSW

I’m the proud parent of two busy and social children, 14yo, 9yo, who absolutely love school. Our family thrives on the support and friendship of our local community, especially those we’ve met through school. Living in Clovelly, we’ve built a strong network of friends who are essential to making our busy lives run smoothly—I honestly couldn’t do it without them!

Our family is deeply rooted in the local community. Our children attend local schools, and our network of friends from these schools is absolutely vital to our daily lives. I’m familiar with the unique strengths and challenges of our local education system and am passionate about contributing to its ongoing success. I regularly participate in school events, volunteer when possible, and am always looking for ways to support both students and teachers.

Over the past 20 years, I’ve built a successful career in Sydney’s real estate sector, specializing as an auctioneer and working with some of the city’s best boutique agencies. Starting in residential sales, I developed a reputation for market insight and client focus. My journey led me to auctioneering, where my ability to communicate, engage audiences, and adapt to changing market conditions set me apart. I’m known for my energy, professionalism, and dedication to achieving the best outcomes for my clients.

We have lived in Clovelly for 12 years
