What is your favourite part about being an agent?
Helping people through the process, whether they are selling or buying. Making it as stress free as possible.
Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting or unusual job you had?
I worked in the publishing industry – which is also a peopleoriented business. Selling the new
books that were being released to bookshop owners and company head office buyers like Myer and Target. Meeting famous authors and taking them to their radio or TV interviews in Melbourne. Also, promoting author signings in bookstores for the authors with their new books, for example famous sports people.
What makes a great real estate agent?
Being a great communicator and reliable. Persistence always pays off, your agent replies to you as the seller and your buyers promptly. Always using a professional photographer.
Are there any changes in the supply/demand equation in property in the Tweed Shire?
With the new Tweed Valley Hospital being open a year now, the demand is very high for retirees and downsizers. Plus everyone loves Kingscliff.
What sort of buyers are you seeing and wh ere are they from?
Mainly people downsizing into village lifestyles, for the activities and social aspects. The houses are spacious and freestanding. They are coming from everywhere, mainly on the east

What’s something people can do without spending a fortune to make their property more saleable? Also, what is the best investment you could put into a property you want to sell.
First impressions count. Street appeal – keeping the gardens and lawns neat and tidy – is key. If repainting, stick to white or neutral tones in the interior. Also, declutter – pack up things you don’t need because presentation is everything no matter what the price range is. You want your buyers to feel the home is inviting and easy to live in.
Any tips on beating the competition for a home you want?
Do your research in the area, know the values of the properties that would suit you. Find out what the sellers’ needs are and what timeline might suit them the most.
How can people get a foot on the property ladder?
Well, if you are paying rent, do what you can to be paying for your own home.
Buy a cheaper house; you don’t have to have the best house in the street. Then slowly renovate to your style.
