Welcome To The Team

Tenille Hubbard is recently a high school graduate from our local high school here in Dalby. In 2023 Tenille made the decision that real estate would be the right path for her. Working in real estate administration for 18 months as a school-based trainee she worked hard to secure a full-time position as a sales assistant.

Although she has only lived in the Dalby area for 3 years Tenille has made the most of it submerging herself into the community. Early 2024, Tenille set off to Cambodia to help build classrooms and teach kids. Here is where she found her love of traveling and getting to know new communities

Later that year in April, Tenille competed at New South Wales to represent Pony Club Queensland in campdrafting, placing in the top 10 bringing home a sash. This event would award her the Western Downs Council Australia Day sports award coming into 2025. Throughout this, she trained very hard with her team to complete the 48km Kokoda Challenge at the Gold Coast in July.

Her busy year of 2024 has taught her time management, personal growth and the importance of consistency. She is committed to helping her fellow Real Estate agents and strives to learn all she can about the market, the process of buying or selling and her community.
