Lee-Anne understands that buying or selling a home is one of the most significant decisions in life, and she is committed to making the process seamless and rewarding.
We chatted to find out more.
Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting job you had?
I have done a vast variety of jobs. I have worked in retail, office administration for a large consulting company, office manager for a beautiful retirement village and office support for the state government. When my two boys were little
I built a strong business as a Mary Kay consultant and loved it, as I could work my own hours and help women to be more confident.
What inspired you to go into real estate?
I’ve always loved real estate and meeting people. This career allows me to genuinely do both by helping my vendors through one of the most important decisions of their lives, which is incredibly rewarding. Many of my previous clients are still very good friends in my life.
What type of properties are most sought after in the Tweed Shire property market at the moment?
Family homes, lifestyle properties and low-maintenance residences such as duplexes close to town centres and amenities are currently in highest demand across the Tweed Shire.
Are you seeing many first home buyers taking advantage of government schemes?
Yes, first home buyers are very active, particularly at the entry-

level price points.
Do you think the interest rate rise will have much effect?
Interest rates are always part of buyer conversations, however many buyers have adjusted their expectations and are taking a longer-term view, so activity has remained steady.
Do you have any particular types of property you feel you have more expertise or interest in?
Every property is someone’s castle and most probably their biggest asset – no matter how big or small. I believe I treat all my vendors with the same respect and always work hard to get the best possible sale result for them. Every home has the perfect suitable buyer – and it’s my job to find them.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, walks with my poodle Daisy, and making the most of the natural beauty the Tweed region has to offer.

“I had an outstanding experience selling my home with Lee-Anne. From start to finish, she was honest, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Her strategy was thoughtful and effective — she clearly knows the market inside out and guided me through every step with confidence and care. What stood out most was her genuine commitment to achieving the best possible result. She made the whole process smooth and stressfree, and her experience really showed in the way she handled negotiations and communication. I couldn’t be happier with the outcome and would highly recommend Lee-Anne to anyone looking for an experienced and compassionate real estate agent who truly delivers.”
- Jessica, Seller
“We trusted Lee-Anne and the team at LJH with our sale as they were also the property managers. We had good tenants in the house and she communicated with them to make sure that they were kept in the loop. We were interstate sellers and we trusted her insight. She kept us informed at all stages of the process and we would recommend her to anyone thinking of selling.”
