Real Estate Estate

Agent of the week

By Jo Kennett

OUR AGENT of the Week this edition is Kaeren Smith from Tweed Coolangatta Real Estate, who has a wealth of experience in real estate and a true passion for the Tweed.

We caught up with Kaeren to find out more.

Before you were a real estate agent what was the most interesting job you had?

I have been in real estate for 40 years, first when I lived in Lismore before moving to the Tweed in 2001. My first job at 15 was as a chocolate maker and I also worked at Strandbags part-time and did part-time bookkeeping at The Italo Club in Lismore.

What inspired you to go into real estate?

My girlfriend I worked with at The Italian Club was aware of a change of ownership at a small agency in Lismore so I applied for the new position as receptionist and was accepted. I worked my way up to sales consultant and spent five years of night school obtaining my real estate licence, including business sales, stock and station and auctioneering. After

finishing my diploma I worked at Lismore TAFE lecturing in property management in night classes. During these years we had a young family and worked six days a week and nights. I look back now and realise what a busy time it was for our family.

What sort of properties are most in demand at the moment?

Any property is in demand at present — from the low end of the market to the top end, homes are in short supply. Are you seeing any impacts from interest cuts and the first home buyers 5 per cent

deposit scheme?

First home buyers are certainly back in the market which is wonderful — I love the opportunity to assist them into their first home. As prices continue to increase it makes it hard for everyone to get a foot into real estate.

What sort of properties are first home buyers and investors looking for?

Definitely the lower end, even now considering areas they may not have considered previously just because of the prices. As prices rise and the returns are not as high as in previous years, investors are looking for a balance of future capital gain. Renting a property is certainly not an issue.

Do you have any tips on how people can get a foot on the property ladder?

Give your details to as many real estate agents as you can, keep a close eye on what is new to the market and don’t wait for the open house. Contact the agent and try to get a look as soon as possible and have your finance ready — pre approved.

Any advice for buyers or sellers or anything else you want to add?

There are a lot of people who would sell but it’s finding their next property to purchase, they are worried they will have nowhere to live. But if you don’t sell you cannot buy unless you can afford to buy before you sell, so it is a very big decision.
