“Here’s to our next

As we celebrate our 10 year anniversary, I can’t think of a better time to announce our 5th office opening. In early March we will open the doors to our Balnarring office. Cam Jamison has joined us and will be based here, working alongside Tim Ripper. We know the cross over between Mount Eliza and Flinders is going to be strong, so you will see many faces from these offices here also.

We didn’t get to 10 years by chance, it was hard work and a lot of grit and determination...

On the 1st February 2015 we purchased a rent roll in Flinders. With a team of four, we commenced our journey. At the time, the dream was to be the largest, most successful group on the Mornington Peninsula. And today we sit here with that dream a reality.

So, what is success? For me, it’s our team. The people who chose to spend their time here. We are a ‘sum of our parts’ as they say. Samantha Moffatt, Michael Parker & Jaimee Baker joined in year one and remain integral members and important contributors to us all. Last year we saw Zena Phillips-Crowe retire and travel Australia, Claire Upton-Jones moved to Melbourne after a stella career with us and the previous owner; and my dear friend Fiona Kelly, who helped in all areas of the business, retired and started a life that I’m most envious of. To these wonderful ladies I extend a heartfelt thank you for all you did.

To the families of our team, I’d like to say a big thank you.

Real Estate is a demanding career, and without our families support we couldn’t do what we do.

Here’s to our next 10 years, thank you for all your support.

Lets talk “Days On Market”

When an Agent refers to ‘days on market’ they are talking about the number of days a property has been actively advertised. Long story short, in this market the longer it takes to sell the property, the more likely the eventual sale price will be heavily discounted.

When a new property launches, it is exciting and fresh and has maximum eyes on it. As the number of days a property is online increases, the excitement starts to diminish. In the first 14 days it is crucial to have the pricing strategy right in order to attract the best buyers who will likely compete for the property and possibly push the price up under competition.

The longer a property sits on the market, the greater the likelihood that there will be a disconnect from buyers and in many instances seller fatigue. Depending on individual circumstances, a prolonged campaign can put sellers under financial pressure and emotional stress, placing them in a situation where they may give up and eventually accept a lower price.

Along with pricing, there are several other elements important to ensure a successful result. These include presentation, strategic marketing, strong buyer work, efficient follow up and effective communication. In this market, simply advertising a listing online and waiting for the buyers to appear will not maximise the result, in fact quite the opposite. It is a combination of price, strategic marketing, the skill and hard work of your agent that will see a premium result in a timely manner.

RED HILL CFA

We recently met with Sam Norris, Captain of Red Hill CFA to talk about our community and the work our local volunteers do. We respect the fact that Sam was strong about preferring to fly under-the-radar, in saying this, it’s important for us to put a face to the organisation and also to thank him and all CFA volunteers for their dedication and hard work.

This year marks the 85th anniversary of the Red Hill Country Fire Authority (CFA) — a remarkable milestone for an organisation built on dedication, community spirit, and the tireless efforts of unpaid volunteers. For generations, locals have stepped up to serve and protect their community, keeping people and property safe from the threat of fires and emergencies.

Sam, who has been a member of the Red Hill CFA since 2003, now holds the position of Captain after taking over in 2020 from long-serving Captain Daryl Setter. Sam's journey began when a fellow CFA member encouraged him to get involved, saying, “If you're going to live here, you need to help here.” Now, 22 years later, Sam continues to lead with passion and dedication.

As communities in the Red Hill area evolve, there has been a noticeable increase in nonpermanent residents, which limits the pool of available volunteers. Organisations across the Mornington Peninsula are in need of both hands-on support and financial assistance.

After severe storms in the area in 2021, Sam along with other community leaders, established the Hill and Ridge Emergency Network. This network exemplifies the true spirit of community collaboration. The network connects residents during emergencies, streamlines communication, and identifies resources and vulnerable individuals in need of immediate assistance. Currently, the network has 35 streets registered and is supported by three Senior Community Leaders who coordinate communication with Street Leaders. These leaders further disseminate information and organise resources within their streets, which may include accommodation, generators, and animal sheltering. The network’s success lies in its ability to foster a sense of shared responsibility, where everyone works together to keep each other safe.

If you live in the Red Hill area and would like to learn more or join the Hill and Ridge Emergency Network, you can reach out via email at hillandridgenetwork@gmail.com .

If this article has piqued your interest in becoming a CFA volunteer, more information can be found on their website https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteerscareers/volunteer-with-cfa

I love the diversity of the Mornington Peninsula. I love that I can live with land around me very close to the beach but close enough to Melbourne to still go to the football. I can drive to the supermarket and park right out the front, I can surf before work (or after) and I can meet my wife in the evening for a glass of wine at a winery in one of the most beautiful parts of the country on the way home from work. I love that there is such a community feel.

Experience the best of Mornington Peninsula living in this near-new, light-filled coastal home. Walking distance to the beach, it features 5 spacious bedrooms, 3 stylish bathrooms (including 2 ensuites), and a master suite with a walk-in robe.

The open-plan living and dining areas lead to a decked outdoor space, perfect for entertaining. Additional highlights include a modern kitchen, double garage with mobile control, security system, ducted vacuum, and outdoor shower. Conveniently close to schools, shops, and parks.

We can all do our part

When my family and I first moved here, I was blown away with the amount of people who approached me to get involved in things; be local sports clubs through to charities needing volunteers. It quickly became clear that there were significant gaps—both in terms of people and financial support—and that these challenges are still present today.

I was raised with a strong belief in the importance of giving back. Our family was actively engaged with our local Rotary Club, schools, and various charities. This value is something I have also instilled in my children and a core principle that I carry through our businesses. Volunteering takes many different forms—it could be donating, spreading the word, giving your time, or offering a skill. The local charities we’ve spoken with continue to face urgent needs in all these areas.

If you have a professional skill or expertise that could be of value, I encourage you to consider how you might contribute.

To the incredible volunteers who are already making a difference in our communities—thank you. Your generosity doesn’t go unnoticed, and it truly makes a lasting impact.
