Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY
Agent of the Week - ANNE BESGROVE
THIS WEEK we catch up with top agent Anne Besgrove, Licensed Real Estate Agent and Stock and Station Agent at First National Murwillumbah. With more than 18 years of real estate experience and as a fourth-generation local, Anne brings extensive knowledge of the Tweed Valley and its community. Known for her genuine care, exceptional customer service and personalised approach, she builds lasting relationships with buyers and sellers. Anne listens to her clients’ needs, creating tailored marketing campaigns and providing dedicated support to help achieve the best possible results throughout every stage of their property journey. We caught up with Anne to find out more.
HAVE YOU ALWAYS WORKED IN REAL ESTATE
Before entering real estate, I worked in banking and lending and also owned a coffee shop. Both experiences gave me a strong foundation in customer service, building relationships and understanding people’s needs, which have been invaluable throughout my real estate career.
Open Homes
I’ve always enjoyed working with people, and real estate gave me the opportunity to help them through one of life’s biggest decisions. Whether it’s finding someone their new home or helping a family move on to their next chapter, there’s something really rewarding about being part of that journey.
WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT WORKING IN REAL ESTATE, AND WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CHALLENGES? Without a doubt, it’s the people. I love meeting new people, building relationships and helping buyers find a place they can call home. Living and working in the Tweed Valley, I’ve also had the pleasure of discovering some truly beautiful properties along the way. Like any industry, real estate comes with its challenges, particularly navigating changing market conditions and managing expectations. But finding the right outcome for my clients makes it all worthwhile.
IS THERE ANY PARTICULAR TYPE OF PROPERTY YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF MOST EXPERT IN OR PASSIONATE ABOUT? • 123 Tunnell Rd, Stokers Siding, 11–11.30am • 28 Tombonda Rd, Murwillumbah, 11–11.30am • 454 Crabbes Creek Rd, Crabbes Creek, 12-
Rural and lifestyle properties are definitely my passion. We’re incredibly fortunate to live in such a beautiful part of the world, and I love showcasing everything our region has to offer. From picturesque acreage to unique country homes, there’s something special about helping people find their own piece of the Tweed Valley.
WHO ARE YOU SEEING BUYING PROPERTIES AT THE MOMENT, AND WHERE ARE THEY MOSTLY COMING FROM? We’re seeing a strong mix of buyers, with many local sellers looking to upsize into larger homes or lifestyle properties, while others are choosing to downsize. There’s also continued interest from buyers relocating to the region, particularly those looking for a change of pace and the lifestyle our beautiful area offers.
WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE YOU HAVE SEEN ACROSS THE MARKET IN RECENT TIMES? One of the biggest changes has been seeing fewer buyers coming up from Sydney and Melbourne compared with previous years. We’re now seeing more activity from local buyers who are looking to make their next move within the region, whether that’s upsizing,

WHAT IS YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS? Correct pricing is everything. It’s important to position your property realistically in the current market to attract genuine buyers and achieve the best possible result. A wellpresented property, combined with the right marketing strategy and an experienced local agent, can make all the difference.
WHAT ABOUT BUYERS? ANY ADVICE?
People often ask, “When is the best time to buy?” My advice is simple: the best time to buy is when you’re financially ready and you’ve found the right property. Don’t get too caught up trying to predict the market. Do your research, understand your budget and be prepared to act when the right opportunity comes along.
WHAT DO YOU GET UP TO WHEN YOU AREN’T BUSY WORKING?
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me spending time with family and friends, riding my horse or heading out for a run. I love the outdoors and making the most of our beautiful country lifestyle. We’re lucky to live where we do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

HARPER HOUSE A Beachside Sale With a Story Worth Sharing 15 Daybreak Boulevard, Casuarina
Some property sales are remembered for the result. Others are remembered for the difference they make. The recent $5 million sale of this exceptional Casuarina beachfront residence marks a special chapter for Witheriff Group and local charity Hundred4Harper. The story began when Nick Witheriff donated a commission-free property sale to a charity auction, with the owners placing the winning bid of $65,000 in support of childhood brain cancer research. As Hundred4Harper founder Lee Dowdall reflects: “What began as a simple gesture quickly became something far more powerful, highlighting the impact of community and locally driven initiatives.” Affectionately known as ‘Harper House’, in honour of Harper Dowdall, this remarkable sale represents far more than an exceptional property result.
00501 Witheriff Group FP
An exceptional property. An extraordinary community. A legacy that extends well beyond the sale. WITHERIFF GROUP Proudly supporting Hundred4Harper and the fight against DIPG.
