Celebrity shopper sells super trendy waterside pad
Shopper to the stars, including Khloe Kardashian, Gab Waller has sold her trendy home.
A Dover Heights investment unit owned by LA-based personal shopper to the stars Gab Waller has sold for $200k over expectations in just three days.
TRG associate director Cae Thomas listed the two-bedroom Art Deco unit without parking at 1/32 Eastern Ave, Dover Heights with a $1.1m guide on Monday night and had the deal done at $1.3m done by Thursday.
“The market for these types of units has never been better,” Thomas said.
The property, which sold via a buyer’s agent, was snapped up a family who intended to use it as a Sydney bolthole.

Much of her work comes from clients who reach out to her on Instagram, where she has more than 80,000 followers.
Her clients include a swath of A-listers including reality TV star Khloe Kardashian, actress Hilary Duff and model Sofia Richie.

Thomas advises he has a “bucketload” of properties about to hit the market, including big homes in Dover Heights and Vaucluse.
His snappy sale of the investment unit in Dover Heights came in the lead up to Saturday’s auction of two-bedroom unit at 15/165 Victoria Rd, Bellevue Hill, which had seven registered and sold for $1,125,000 against a guide of $925,000.
PPD’s Sean Poche said entry level units are “quite hot”, as first home buyers, with the Bank of Mum and Dad on hand, and investors fight over them.
“In this case the first-home buyers were beaten by an investor,” he said.
