Sapphire Goldfinch
Business Development Manager & Licensed Real Estate Salesperson

Meet Sapphire, our versatile Business Development Manager and Real Estate Salesperson. Sapphire brings an upbeat, motivated energy to the team and a genuine love for the Whitby community. She moved to Whitby three years ago while searching for her first home and quickly fell in love with a character-filled 1980s stucco house that became both her home and a hands-on renovation project, guided closely (and sometimes very specifically!) by her Dad.
Since then, she’s embraced everything Whitby has to offer – from regular stops at Nish Café and the Co-Op to bush walks, especially along the Camborne walkway. For Sapphire, Whitby isn’t just where she lives – it’s a community she feels proud to be part of, and somewhere she can’t imagine leaving.

Why we love Whitby
Like you, we’re part of the Whitby community and we’re passionate about contributing to its long-term growth and success.
Here are just a few of the everyday things we value about this awesome place we get to call home:
The ducks that rule the suburb. There are more ducks than people here, and it’s not unusual to see them stopping by your local café for a visit.
Walkways and lookouts. Whether it’s an after-dinner loop or a weekend wander, there’s always a track to follow and a view waiting at the top.
The dinosaur races. Yes, actual races. Yes, in inflatable dinosaur costumes. Whitby locals know how to have a laugh.
The easy pace. No rushing, no fuss. Just a suburb that does life at its own speed.
The community! You only have to jump on the Whitby Facebook page to know you’re part of a very caring neighbourhood.
