Your Property, Treated as My Own

As the founder of Rising Phoenix Realty, I’ve spent over 15 years working across every part of the real estate industry – managing two offices, overseeing administration, senior property management and sales. I built this agency because I believed Gold Coast buyers, sellers and landlords deserved better. A service built on real relationships, genuine care and results you can trust. When you work with Rising Phoenix Realty, you work directly with me – and I treat every property as though it were my own home.

When I initially met Candice, I had been let down by several other agencies and I was skeptical of all other agents in general. But because I was referred to her by a close friend, I decided to give Rising Phoenix Realty a shot. I really have been blown away by the care that Candice has shown for my investment properties and went above and beyond to ensure a result that exceeded our expectations and took the stress off our shoulders for the entire process. It would be an injustice not to recommend Candice and the team for any service in real estate!

Candice has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Her professionalism, communication, and attention to detail made the entire property management experience seamless and stress-free. She is responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about both property owners and tenants. Any issues were handled promptly and efficiently, and I always felt informed throughout the process. I highly recommend Candice and Rising Phoenix Realty to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable property management services.

Candice was a god send. My disabled mother and I were struggling to find a home that would accommodate her. Candice went above and beyond and made it her personal mission to find us a home. 6 months later we are happy and able to live in a house that accommodates the both of us. I am able to care for my mother but also have enough space to breathe. Thank you Candice for making both of our lives better in a happy space we are both able to call home.
