Before stepping in front of the “For Sale” sign, Dani was behind the set —spending more than 15 years as a TV Producer on some of Australia’s biggest reality shows, including the nation’s favourite property series, Love It or List It. After years of watching real estate unfold from the production side, her curiosity turned into a calling… and Dani swapped the headset for house keys.

Known for her warm personality, drive, and genuine passion for people, she’s all about smart strategy, clear communication, and delivering standout results.

Specialising in duplex properties and development site acquisitions, Dani blends creativity, market insight, and strong local connections to help her clients get ahead. On this episode, in a fun as well as informative chat with host Wendy Clare, she shares real stories from behind the scenes of ‘Love it or list It’ and real learnings from her unique take on real estate.

The Eastern Suburbs Insider – Meet Sabeen Akbani

Known for her calm confidence, meticulous research, and deeply client-centred approach, Sabeen opens up about what really shapes the market behind the scenes.

From the mistakes that she sees buyers making before they bring on her agency, to the profile of the buyers now shaping the Eastern suburbs market, to the local spots she herself loves the most, Sabeen tells us about the people and places that have shaped her life and success, and the strategies that help her clients secure their dream homes in some of Australia’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

She also talks about her journey into the industry, her philosophy on trust and transparency, and what she’s learned from years of walking the streets of the East—Bondi to Bellevue Hill, Coogee to Centennial Park.
