Before joining the award-winning Property Management team at Barry Plant Moonee Valley, Taila Marra had already developed strong customer service skills in the retail world as well as building a keen eye for detail whilst working with a commercial law firm in the CBD.

Taila enjoys being able to play a key role in helping people to find just the right rental property that suits their needs and their lifestyle. Indeed, being a long-term local resident herself, she takes a great deal of pride in helping those who are new to the area to find some of those little-known services that only the locals know about. As Taila will tell you, “There are very few things in life that are more satisfying than helping someone find the right home.” When away from the office Taila enjoys dancing, (something she has been doing for over a decade) and can often be found on water-skis during the Summer. However, those who know her well say that her favourite sport of all is shopping! A valued member of the Barry Plant team, Taila Marra is looking forward to making your next move the most enjoyable you’ve ever experienced.
