Founder & Principal
Roberta de la Torre.
Licensed Victorian estate agent. Trained interior designer. Independent buyer's advocate.
A personal practice
Design-led intelligence. Personal service.
Roberta founded MacKenzie Lane to give property buyers the kind of representation that combines commercial discipline with a deeper understanding of how homes actually work.
Her estate-agency experience brings market knowledge, negotiation capability and an understanding of the selling process. Her interior-design training adds an informed eye for quality, light, proportion, flow, condition and potential.
How Roberta assesses property
Seeing what the listing does not say.
Architectural quality
Proportion, orientation, natural light, circulation and the relationship between rooms.
Liveability
How the property will support the buyer's daily life, priorities and future plans.
Potential
Where thoughtful changes could unlock value—and where apparent opportunity may carry disproportionate cost.
Commercial discipline
Comparable evidence, vendor expectations, negotiation dynamics and a clear walk-away position.
My role is to create clarity around a decision that can otherwise become highly emotional.
