A Day in the Valley: The Annual
In the heart of Currumbin Valley, the Cow Pat Classic has long been more than just a tradition it's a celebration of community, history, and the spirit of giving This year, the 2024 Cow Pat Classic once again brought together locals for a day of fun, fundraising, and a shared commitment to supporting the Currumbin Valley State School (CVSS) With the generosity of local businesses and major sponsors Ken Jacob and Stephen Hay from Ray White Tugun, the event raised an incredible $13,500 for the school, proving once more that when a community unites, great things happen
The Cow Pat Classic, which predates many of us, has become the school's major annual fundraiser The funds raised play a crucial role in supporting various school initiatives, with one of the most significant being the funding of the school's Wellbeing Officer This role is vital to the students' social, emotional, and educational development The Wellbeing Officer works closely with students to improve their overall well-being, offering pastoral care, organising volunteer activities, and coordinating programs, excursions, and workshops Thanks to the P&C's efforts and the generous donations from businesses, CVSS can increase the hours and impact of this important role, ensuring that every student receives the support they need to thrive
It has been an absolute honour to support the Cow Pat Classic for so many years Watching this event grow and seeing the direct impact it has on the students and the broader Currumbin Valley community fills us with immense pride. We're grateful to be part of a tradition that not only raises essential funds but also brings our community together in such a meaningful way Here's to many more years of collaboration, celebration, and making a difference in the lives of the young people at Currumbin Valley State School

These will not only brighten your space but also attract beneficial pollinators For a productive garden, plant herbs like basil, coriander, and parsley, and veggies like greens, cucumbers, and zucchini Don't forget to enrich your soil with compost and mulch to ensure a thriving garden throughout the season.

As real estate professionals, we know that presenting a property in its best light is key to securing the best possible outcome for our clients. Recently, we had the opportunity to list 64B Trees Road, Tallebudgera that was expertly styled by Tailored Space Interiors, and the results were nothing short of impressive.
The property’s styling highlighted its best features, creating an inviting and aspirational atmosphere that immediately resonated with prospective buyers The level of interest was so high that the property sold prior to auction for a premium price
In today’s competitive market, achieving a quick sale at a great price is the ultimate goal, and the professional styling by Tailored Space Interiors played a critical role in this success. Their expert touch made the home stand out, resulting in a sale that not only happened faster but also at a significantly higher price
Staged homes are known to sell 30-50% quicker and for 717% more, and this property was no exception The styling added real value, with the final sale price reflecting an impressive return on investment
If you’re considering selling your home, we highly recommend investing in professional styling to maximise your property’s appeal and ensure a successful sale The results speak for themselves! Contact Stephen Hay 0409 599 899 or Ken Jacob 0413 865 323 for further details
GREAT TO SEE SO MANY TEAMS INVOLVED
HUGE EFFORT FROM THE CVSS P&C
We get asked all the time by Valley Owners " Yes we know the Real Estate market is extremely strong and we could get a great price for our property BUT where would we go????" At present to Sell in the Valleys is like Winning Lotto as the selling prices are SO high compared to only a few short years ago Some creative sellers have taken the opportunity to simply radically reduce the money spent on their next purchase by downsizing to a lovely unit complex (no more huge acreage maintenance), or moving to a quiet country area or even moving overseas to our cheap neighbouring Asian countries where you can live like a King and Queen on very little money (Ken just returned from several weeks in Bali and was amazed at the opportunities there) It’s YOUR life and YOUR opportunity...what would YOU really like to do??? If you would like to know the approx value of your property and/or discuss any of these ideas please contact us directly via phone, text, email, or scan the adjacent QR code... whatever suits you!
