The building is a lot like our Barker Real Estate team with some old stages and some new young guns.

He is thrilled to have opened a successful family Real Estate business and has enjoyed working back in the Gawler area fulltime after having spent many years working interstate.

Born and raised in the beautiful Barossa Valley, Sam is a true country girl at heart. With strong local knowledge and genuine community ties, she brings warmth, reliability and a practical, down-to-earth approach to her role in Property Management.
With an extensive background in hospitality, including fine dining service, wine knowledge, barista skills and food presentation, Sam understands what exceptional service truly means.

She prides herself on clear communication, responsiveness and building strong, respectful relationships with both landlords and tenants.
Having owned and renovated her own 1980s home in Tanunda, Sam appreciates firsthand the importance of maintaining and caring for property.

Family is everything to Sam. She adores her partner, Trevor — her biggest supporter — and together they are raising their two energetic children. When she’s not managing properties, you’ll likely find her cheering on her son at seasonal sports, cooking and baking with her daughter, tending to her veggie patches, fishing, or heading out for a drive in Trevor’s much-loved Subaru WRX.
Approachable, organised and genuinely caring, Sam is passionate about ensuring rental properties are well managed and that both landlords and tenants feel informed, supported and confident every step of the way.
