FIRST CLASS IN REAL ESTATE

You may already know, or know of Minka Jenkins, she has lived on the Sunshine Coast, or more precisely, the Kawana Strip, for just shy of 50 years and is super proud to call this area ‘home’.

Prior to her career in real estate, Minka was an international first-class flight attendant for 20 years visiting many exotic locations. Her passengers would often ask her, “Where is your favourite place to visit?” and her answer would always be, “My home on the beautiful Sunshine Coast”.

“We live on an amazing strip, on the east coast of Australia, breeding a culture of beach, lifestyle cafes and, most of all, properties,” Minka says,

Having just entered her 16th year of selling properties locally, Minka brings that same first-class service to real estate sales. “I help buyers and sellers find new properties that they love and my passion for the strip has seen me secure record prices and introduce many old and new friends (buyers) to the area.”

Minka recently joined forces with Jordan Lund and the team at ELITE Lifestyle Properties, with her 16 years of industry experience, she brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the team. Her extensive background in real estate will be invaluable as she embarks on this exciting new chapter in her career.

As a real estate professional, Minka plays a critical role in helping people find their dream homes and investment properties. She is responsible for guiding her clients through the complex process of buying or selling real estate, and for ensuring that their needs and interests are met throughout the transaction.

Minka is already familiar with the ins and outs of real estate and is thrilled with the possibilities of aligning her brand with ELITE Lifestyle Properties. She is keen to include their new approaches and technologies in her repertoire. She knows that the real estate landscape is constantly evolving and believes that staying ahead of the curve is the key to success.

Minka believes success in real estate also depends on your ability to build and maintain relationships with your clients. By providing exceptional service, demonstrating your expertise, and building trust with your clients, you are able to create a loyal client base and build a thriving career in real estate.

She is so excited for the future with ELITE Lifestyle Properties, who are a boutique real estate office that offer extensive local, national and international estate marketing, with a professional edge in the luxury sector.

ELITE Lifestyle Properties have been at the forefront of record sales in real estate on the Sunshine Coast for over 20 years. They have shown consistent success in their operations and continue to set new benchmarks in the marketplace. In 2022 alone they set new sales records closing more than 100 property deals which were worth around $150 million.

“The agency’s phenomenal turnover represented a 15 per cent increase on 2021 as the region continues to defy the nationwide trend of softening property prices,” ELITE Lifestyle Properties director Jordan Lund says.

“The Sunshine Coast continues to show it is a resilient market, with property prices still well above pre-COVID 19 levels despite interest rate rises and other cost of living pressures.

“There’s still a lot of interest, with many buyers continuing to be attracted to the Sunshine Coast because it has a more affordable market compared to Brisbane and the Gold Coast.

“Once home to surfers and retirees, suburbs like Minyama and Buddina are now among the Sunshine Coast’s favourite playgrounds for prestige buyers.”

Merging with Minka Jenkins, the former co-director of Minyama-based boutique agency Team Godwin, sees Lund and Jenkins go from being long time competitors to collaborators, and that can only be a win-win not only for the two of them, but also for buyers and sellers alike.

“With the Sunshine Coast market remaining strong, especially in Minyama, Buddina and the coastal fringes, we believe it’s the perfect time to continue to grow the business,” Minka says.

“With Jordan Lund at the helm, we make a powerful team. We have a similar belief in building strong customer relationships and delivering a FIRST CLASS service that is second to none. The results have and will speak for themselves, I’m very excited”. a
