Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting/ unusual job you had?
Before real estate I worked in contract management in the construction industry on large-scale projects.
What inspired you to go into real estate?
From a young age I always loved property and one of my favourite things as a child was to visit display homes with my parents. I thrive on
Agent of the week
connecting with people and setting targets for outstanding service and so residential real estate was a great career path for me. I began my real estate career in 2006.
What sort of properties are most in demand at the moment?
Hot property
What I am seeing in my marketplace is strong demand for entry-level villas, townhouses and duplexes amongst first home buyers, and also freestanding houses on good sized land for buyers searching for their next family home.
Are you seeing any impacts from interest cuts and the First Home Buyers 5 per cent deposit scheme on the market, such as more first home owners and investors looking for property?
There has certainly been an increase in first home buyer activity with the stamp duty concessions and first home buyer scheme. Interest rates are steady and this is also tempting much-needed investor buyers into our market seeking strong yields and future growth driven by high demand and low supply in the rental market.

We understand that
and investors looking for?
Villas, townhouses and duplexes amongst first home buyers are in high demand, entry level units in Tweed, Tweed South, Tweed West and Coolangatta. Investors are mixed with some seeking family homes in areas such as Banora Point, and other investors competing with first home buyers for entry level property.
What’s the general feeling out there at the moment?
The market is buzzing! There are plenty of local-based sellers broking within the local area for upsize, downsize and lifestyle reasons. Also welcoming new residents to our region seeking great value and lifestyle south in the Tweed Coast region.
Do you have any tips on how people can get a foot on the property ladder?
For buyers getting into the property market my advice is to know your financials, gain pre-approval, attend open homes, engage a conveyancer, be prepared so that when an opportunity presents itself you can act. Be active and also patient. Ask real estate agents lots of questions.
