Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY

By Jo Kennett OUR AGENT of the Week is the delightful Krystal Camp, who is Head of Property Management at The Agency Kirra Tweed. With extensive industry experience, Krystal is known for her approachable nature, clear communication and genuine commitment to exceptional service. Passionate about building strong relationships, protecting her clients’ investments and supporting her team, Krystal brings a calm solutions-focused approach to property management. We caught up with Krystal to find out about her work. TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND? Before getting into real estate, I worked in administration for an accounting firm, which gave me a good foundation in organisation, attention to detail and working with clients. I then took some time away from work to have my two children before finding my way into real estate around 10 years ago. Since then, I’ve worked my way through different aspects of property management and am now Head of Property Management at The Agency Kirra Tweed. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE? I became interested in real estate
after renting a house for the first time myself. That experience sparked my curiosity about the industry and what goes on behind the scenes. Around 10 years ago, I decided to give it a go, and I’ve been in property management ever since. What I love about the industry is that no two days are the same. There’s always something happening, whether it’s working with landlords and tenants, solving problems or supporting the team.
Our portfolio is predominantly residential, although we also manage commercial properties throughout the Tweed and surrounding areas. My role as Head of Property Management involves overseeing both sides of the business, supporting our property managers and ensuring we’re providing a consistent level of service. Both require strong communication, attention to detail and a good understanding of the owner’s investment.
WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT HELPING PEOPLE MANAGE THEIR PROPERTIES, AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES? For me, it’s about building relationships and earning people’s trust. Property is often one of the biggest investments someone will make, and I enjoy knowing that we’re helping protect that investment. One of the biggest challenges is balancing everyone’s expectations. Landlords, tenants and tradespeople can all have different priorities. Legislation is also constantly changing, so keeping up with those changes and making sure we’re doing the right thing by everyone is a big part of the job. I think good communication makes all the difference.
HAVE YOU SEEN A SWING FROM RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL PROPERTY INVESTMENT SINCE NEW LEGISLATION ON PROPERTY INVESTMENT? Recent changes to residential tenancy legislation have prompted some investors to reassess their portfolios and consider their options. We’re seeing landlords become more conscious of their obligations, maintenance costs and the level of flexibility they have as owners. Commercial property can be attractive because of the different lease structures and the potential for tenants to contribute towards outgoings. However, commercial investment comes with its own risks, particularly longer vacancy periods and securing a good tenant. I wouldn’t say there’s been a major shift, but I do think investors will continue to look more closely at
DO YOU MAINLY WORK IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT OR RESIDENTIAL?
both options and what best suits their long-term goals. WHAT FACTORS ARE PROPERTY INVESTORS CONSIDERING, AND WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR ANYONE THINKING OF INVESTING IN PROPERTY? I think investors are particularly conscious of interest rates, insurance premiums, council rates, maintenance costs and ongoing changes to legislation. It’s not just about what a property will rent for anymore. Investors need to understand the ongoing costs of owning and maintaining a property and what their actual return will look like. My biggest advice would be to do your research and speak to a local property manager before purchasing. We can provide insight into rental demand, achievable rental returns, tenant expectations and any improvements needed to make the property appealing to the market. It’s also important to budget for unexpected expenses. A wellmaintained property generally attracts stronger tenant interest and helps protect the investment over the longer term. WHAT MAKES THE TWEED PROPERTY MARKET UNIQUE, AND WHICH AREAS ARE TENANTS MOST INTERESTED IN? The Tweed is a unique market
because we’re right on the NSW and Queensland border. We have the lifestyle appeal of the Northern Rivers, beautiful beaches and hinterland, while still having easy access to the Gold Coast and its employment opportunities. We see interest across Tweed Heads, Banora Point, Tweed Heads South and Tweed Heads West, as well as coastal areas such as Kingscliff. Families are often looking for good-sized homes close to schools and sporting facilities, while others are drawn to the coastal lifestyle or the convenience of being close to the airport and Gold Coast. HOW MUCH DEMAND IS THERE FOR BOTH COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES? Residential rental demand remains strong in many parts of our market, particularly for wellpresented properties that are priced appropriately. Properties offering good value, practical layouts and convenient locations tend to attract stronger interest. Commercial demand is more specialised. It depends on the type of premises, location, accessibility and suitability for the business. Finding the right commercial tenant can take longer, but securing a suitable tenant with a sustainable business is particularly important for the owner.
