OUR AGENT of the Week is Lee-Anne Klaus, a Sales and Marketing Specialist with LJ Hooker Coolangatta Tweed. It’s all about respect, honesty and integrity with the LJ Hooker team and, with over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry, nobody embodies that better than Lee-Anne who brings dedication, expertise, and a personalised approach to the work she loves. Lee-Anne understands that buying or selling a home is one of the most significant decisions in life, and she is committed to making the process seamless and rewarding. We chatted to find out more.
Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting job you had?
I have done a vast variety of jobs. I have worked in retail, office administration for a large consulting company, office manager for a beautiful retirement village and office support for the state government. When my two boys were little
I built a strong business as a Mary Kay consultant and loved it, as I could work my own hours and help women to be more confident.
What inspired you to go into real estate?
I’ve always loved real estate and meeting people. This career allows me to genuinely do both by helping my vendors through one of the most important decisions of their lives, which is incredibly rewarding. Many of my previous clients are still very good friends in my life.
What type of properties are most sought after in the Tweed Shire property market at the moment?
Family homes, lifestyle properties and low-maintenance residences such as duplexes close to town centres and amenities are currently in highest demand across the Tweed Shire.
Are you seeing many first home buyers taking advantage of government schemes?
Yes, first home buyers are very active, particularly at the entry-
level price points.
Do you think the interest rate rise will have much effect?
Interest rates are always part of buyer conversations, however many buyers have adjusted their expectations and are taking a longer-term view, so activity has remained steady.
Do you have any particular types of property you feel you have more expertise or interest in?
Every property is someone’s castle and most probably their biggest asset – no matter how big or small. I believe I treat all my vendors with the same respect and always work hard to get the best possible sale result for them. Every home has the perfect suitable buyer – and it’s my job to find them.
What do you like to do in your spare time?
I enjoy spending time with family and friends, walks with my poodle Daisy, and making the most of the natural beauty the Tweed region has to offer.
