Meet the person behind Rising Phoenix Realty

Candice McDonald

I founded Rising Phoenix Realty with a vision to provide Gold Coast buyers, sellers and landlords with a real estate experience that rises above the ordinary.

For more than 15 years, I have built extensive experience across all areas of the real estate industry, including managing two real estate offices and working throughout every stage of the property process – from administration and property management to residential sales and settlement. This broad industry knowledge allows me to understand the importance of every decision made throughout the journey and ensures I provide every client with dedicated service, honest guidance, and a seamless experience from start to finish.
