BOURKES BLOG 2015 marks the centennial anniversary of the Gallipoli landing in 1915.

100 years ago, Australian and New Zealand forces landed at Gallipolli beach with the goal of securing a pathway for the Allied Forces to the Black Sea. What followed was months of intense conflict as the campaign dragged on, with many soldiers being killed or wounded.

History can also be found wandering through the streets of South Perth and Como. I’m not just talking about the buildings, our very street names are proof of Australia’s remarkable history. Did you It was an event that became know that names such as etched into Australian history, Hobbs, Bessell, Todd, Birdwood and to this day the 25th of April and Ryrie are synonymous with is a day of remembrance and WWI?

1st of April = April Fools Day Bourkes Anniversary!!

We’re celebrating our 27th anniversary this year!

Here are some fun facts about us: • • • •

•

Bourkes Property was established in 1988 by Alan Bourke Alan himself has been in real estate for over 35 years! Yikes!

Alan’s first sale was in Market Street, Kensington.

He sold it to his parents!

Back in 1988, there were no computers or mobile phones. Technology was a 2 way radio back to base at the office.

Car phones didn’t even exist until 4 years later!

Besides Alan, our longest serving employee is Sara. She’s been with us for 25 years, and we hope for many, many more to come!

Help me to help the Esther Foundation I will donate $500 from my commission for every property that I list and sell in 2015.

The Esther Foundation is a fantastic not for profit charity operating right here in our backyard!!

They house, nurture and develop more than 45 displaced young ladies, young mothers and children in 10 different residences across the City of South Perth – and most of us wouldn’t even know they are here.

They work tirelessly to better young girls’ futures and I want to help them out.

Together we “CAN” make a difference to young lives!!

If you or someone you know is thinking of selling, give me a call today!
