With a deep understanding of the unique needs and preferences of Chinese buyers and sellers, Sabrina Gao, who is fluent in both Mandarin and English, has become an indispensable asset to the team, particularly in the Mosman area.
Sabrina moved to Sydney in 2008 from Jiangxi, China, to study conference interpreting. Her impressive career includes translating for major international conferences and working within the court system.
Nearly nine years ago, during maternity leave after the birth of her daughter, Sabrina transitioned into real estate, after initially managing Airbnbs from home.
Encouraged by her husband to pursue real estate, Sabrina has never looked back, quickly proving her talent and dedication in this competitive industry.
Sabrina’s China Desk offers a comprehensive service, utilising popular Chinese platforms like WeChat, RedBook (China’s Instagram for millennials), and collaborating with TikTok influencers.
Sabrina’s expertise as a Chinese specialist sets her apart from other agents, offering a fresh, youthful perspective combined with a deep cultural understanding.
According to the office’s database 30 per cent of buyers looking at properties over $10 million in Mosman are Chinese.
“This is a pivotal reason why we established the China Desk. I have been instrumental in connecting these high-net-worth clients with their dream homes,” Sabrina said.
Within her first year at Ray White Lower North Shore, Sabrina achieved remarkable success, including selling 3 Pursell Avenue, Mosman for $19 million in her third week and not long after she negotiated another sale for more than $19 million.
Sabrina is marketing an incredible property at 25 Beauty Point, Road Mosman for her clients. With a price guide of $16 million, she said the auction has been brought forward by a week to June 27 due to such strong interest.
“The high end market is very active at the moment. This incredible trophy home was designed by the famous Australian architect Luigi Rosselli. It focuses on enhancing lifestyle and wellbeing, there’s even a meditation cave carved out of the natural rockery alongside a waterfall near the heated pool. Now that is very special,” she said.
“I am here as a trusted advisor, for me it is not about the transaction,” says Sabrina. “Luxury is not a price point; it is a level of service.”
Sabrina’s commitment to offering genuine help and her ability to connect with clients on a personal level make her a standout agent in the luxury real estate market.
Sabrina says she has fallen in love with Mosman, appreciating its family-friendly lifestyle beyond its famous zoo. As a resident of the Lower North Shore, she passionately promotes the area’s vibrant community and stunning waterside landscape to potential buyers, ensuring they understand the true essence of living in this special harbourside enclave.
Beyond her professional accomplishments, Sabrina finds inspiration in creative outlets such as painting and music. “I have been playing piano since childhood, and I connect with people on a deeper level through the joy of music.”
“Sabrina Gao is our secret weapon,” says Richard Harding, Principal of Ray White Lower North Shore. “She is a fully-fledged agent, a great negotiator and she has a heart of gold.”
“Her extensive knowledge, bilingual communication skills, and commitment to excellence make her an invaluable asset to our whole team.”
“For many years, she has been working with high net-worth international and local Asian clients, granting her an in-depth understanding of their unique mindsets and preferences.”
