Meet the Team

Yolanda Mansell

Managing Director / Owner

Yolanda Mansell is the Managing Director/Owner of DFC Property Management. The business ownership commenced when the country went into lock down during covid, which caused somewhat of a challenging start. Nonetheless her strong work ethic and longstanding professional career in business management, and business administration education as well as higher education in surveying practice helped navigate the challenges in a successful way.

Since taking ownership, Yolanda has restructured and revitalised the company—introducing automation, overhauling outdated systems, streamlining compliance, and embedding a culture of performance and progress. Yet for all the transformation, one thing has remained unchanged: DFC’s unwavering commitment to transparency, professionalism, and integrity.

Those values were instilled by the company’s original founder – a valued mentor, a friend, and now a client. Yolanda continues to draw inspiration from his leadership and technical/professional knowledge and has deliberately built on his foundation with care and respect. His legacy is part of the company’s DNA, and remains central to how DFC operates today.

Yolanda’s leadership style is driven by high standards and human values. She believes in clear communication, consistent delivery, and empowering others to take ownership of their work. A perfectionist by nature and a problem-solver by instinct, she leads with resilience, empathy, and an unshakeable belief in doing things properly.

Yolanda is a perfectionist and very competitive! Showing sheer determination and resilience in all areas of life. She admires like-minded individuals with strong work values and ethics, particularly working mums. All this is reflected in how she runs her company and personal life, always pushing for improved standards of service, results and always thriving to succeed no matter the obstacles life throws in!

Yolanda has immense respect and value for her team and sees them as the greatest and most valuable asset, and is therefore incredibly protective over their wellbeing. When not in the office you will find her spending time with her boys, training in the gym, practicing yoga, dance, surfing and supporting the boys’ local football team or immersed in some sporty activity/event.
