THIS ISSUE’S Agent of the Week is Nick Witheriff, director and head of Witheriff Group.
Witheriff Group specialise in luxury coastal property and Nick says he has seen some major changes in the market in recent times, with a lot of interstate clients now enjoying a great lifestyle in Tweed Coast communities.
What makes a great real estate agent?
For us, it’s about transparency and communication. People really want to know what’s happening when they are selling. It keeps things easy if someone is very clear and a good communicator. You also need to be prepared to work seven days a week and all hours of the night and day when people require your assistance. What is your favourite part about being an agent?
The thing I love the most is that every day is different and it’s so pleasing when we are able to help our clients. We welcome a lot of new buyers to the Tweed Coast from interstate and it’s such a joy seeing them settle into new properties and seeing them form great friendships and become part of the community. I
love sharing the journey of them settling in and enjoying what the Tweed Coast has to offer.
Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting/unusual job you had?
I started in real estate when I was 19 so I’ve been selling for 21 years. My first job was at McDonalds in Palm Beach and it taught me really good service skills with dealing with people.
What’s hot about the Tweed Shire property market?
The market on the Tweed Coast has really matured in the last few years. To see the number of transactions occurring on the beachfront north of $5 million, the high end sales – we did five sales last year between $8 and $9 million – and people here are driving to this location to spend good money to live here. That’s a really hot topic at the moment, the price growth on the beachfront.
What’s the biggest change across the market over the past 12 months?
I think the increase in people living and owning their homes – owner occupier ratios have definitely

increased over the last 12 months. We moved here 11 years ago and there were probably less than half of us that owned and lived in our homes and now we are literally struggling to find rental properties to manage. We are noticing that eight times out of ten, people are coming here to live versus coming here to purchase a holiday home or investment property.
How can people get a foot in the door of the property market?
I think it’s important for people to get advice from a broker and a financial advisor. We are seeing a lot of people who aren’t familiar with the local market and how to make offers et cetera using buyers agents. Once you’re organised and you are interested in a property, put in a strong offer. It will help you secure that property and allow you to get your foot in the door. It is a very competitive market particularly at the entry level in the Tweed Shire and the barrier to entry is a lot higher now. If you are looking at buying an investment property to get in the market somewhere you can afford I think it’s key to buy the biggest block of land close to amenities and infrastructure. The improvements aren’t necessarily a problem. If you are looking at a unit, look for smaller blocks of units. You will always get capital growth that way.
THIS WEEK’S Hot Property is the stuff of dreams; an elegant beachfront sanctuary that combines highend finishes with luxury living and a relaxed coastal lifestyle.
Number 9 Daybreak Boulevard, Casuarina, has five bedrooms, three opulent bathrooms and three garages and is described by the Witheriff Group director Nick Witheriff as an “absolute stunner.” It was built in 2017 by award winning Curley Builders.
“It’s aesthetically pleasing on the eye, it’s beachfront, and it’s got a sauna outside, a putting green and a beautiful swimming pool,” Nick said.
“The quality all the way through is exceptional and it’s very good value.”
The home features Aspen stone granite walling and La Perla stone flooring with Calacatta stone bench tops and a butlers pantry in the designer kitchen. It has resort-style features including a fireplace, a private indoor/outdoor northern courtyard for entertaining, a stunning pool, a covered east facing alfresco room, golf putting green, as well as a recently modernised bar room.”
This luxury home is on the market with the Witheriff Group for $5.25 million.
