Gabriella was born in Yarra Glen and grew up in the Valley with a love of the outdoors, riding motorbikes and spending time with the animals on her grandparents’ farm. She has lived in the region her whole life and wouldn’t choose to live or work anywhere else.

She’s now also a third-generation real estate agent. At 16 she was answering the phones in the office on Saturdays and watching her dad, Mark, at work. After high school and a Bachelor of Business at Deakin University, she worked in the heavy vehicle industry, managing fleets of trucks across Australia. Running day-to-day operations while never being afraid to get her hands dirty taught her to plan carefully, communicate clearly and stay calm when things change at short notice.

Photography has always been part of Gabriella’s life. She has worked as a photographer for many years - shooting families, branding and commercial projects - and she brings that experience to every property Gunther Real Estate lists. She photographs each one herself and runs its marketing campaign from start to finish.

She also manages the agency’s entire online presence, runs its Meta advertising and keeps a close eye on how every campaign performs. She sets a high standard and sees every detail through.

Her favourite part of the job is the people: hearing the story behind each home and seeing the corners of the Valley she has known all her life through their owners’ eyes. Her connections across the region run deep: she has played netball across the Valley for more than 25 years, still coaches, and is regularly involved in running local markets and events.

When she’s not working, you’ll find her out with a her camera, enjoying the outdoors, travelling in her caravan and being a mum to her two girls.

Now selling in her own right, Gabriella brings her lifetime in the Valley, a photographer’s eye and a marketer’s command of the data to every home she takes to market. She’ll be with you from the first conversation to the day it sells. If you’re thinking about selling, she’d love to talk it through with you.
