Agent of the week Real Estate Estate
By Jo Kennett
THIS EDITION’S Agent of the Week is Adrianna Jenkins from Northern Rivers Property Group.
As a Murwillumbah local, Adrianna Jenkins has a real appreciation for the Tweed Valley’s rich history, its unique architecture and houses and the people who call it home.
We caught up with Adrianna to find out more.
Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting/unusual job you had?
Previously I actually used to work at a local chemist which was a great training ground in exceptional customer service and sales.
Why did you decide to get into real estate?
I’ve always had an interest in real estate because I love interesting architecture and the history of some buildings and the Northern Rivers area has both in spades!
What are the biggest challenges of the job?
Probably juggling the responsibilities of providing the best service to my vendors as well as getting the best possible price available in the marketplace for
their home together with building trust and rapport with buyers who will undoubtedly become future vendors. It’s a delicate balance.
Who are you seeing buying properties at the moment and where are they mostly coming from?
There is always an interesting and varied mix in the Northern Rivers with many older acreage vendors looking to downsize but stay in the local area. There are always buyers from Sydney, Melbourne and above the Queensland border looking for a better lifestyle as well, which is obviously provided here in the stunning Northern Rivers with its great community, an abundance of national parks and some of the best beaches in the country.
What is your best advice to people thinking of putting their properties on the market?
Look at your property through a potential buyer’s eyes and begin to get those little jobs done that you have been putting off. Often when buyers see a small issue they think it is bigger than it actually is so get those barriers fixed before going to market. Often it’s lots of little things fixed that can get you a better sale price.

What’s the biggest changes across the market over the past 12 months?
Well obviously the downward change in the local interest rates is a definite driver in the market with more buyers looking at an increased budget and ability to stretch a bit further for their perfect property which of course is great news for our vendors who are achieving better prices now than 12 months ago.
How can people get a foot in the door on the property ladder?
Obviously getting into the property market requires an achievable budget. Get in as soon as you can even if it is not your dream home initially. Go for something a bit smaller or that can be value added by you to realise a return as the market rises in the next couple of years and then upgrade if you can.
Anything else you want to add?
With recent government incentive announcements for first home buyers and falling interest rates there are lots more buyers in the market than at the start of the year, so if you were thinking about selling, get a free market appraisal now and some sound advice on what you can do to achieve a great sale result to set you up for your next move.
