Introducing your director of LJ Hooker Kingscliff Hot property
By Jo Kennett
IT’S BEEN a defining 12 months for Rhiannon Bald, a year marked by resilience, growth, and an unwavering commitment to her team and community.
With over a decade of experience across sales, property management, holiday letting, accounts, and operations, Rhiannon’s journey began at LJ Hooker Kingscliff as a receptionist at just 19 years old.
Today, she leads the business as Director, bringing a genuine passion for people, property, and the local area she proudly calls home.
The past year has brought significant milestones and challenges.
After purchasing the business with a partner, Rhiannon navigated one of the toughest periods in the agency’s history when Cyclone Alfred left the office uninhabitable.
While continuing to run the business, she also led the rebuild and soon after, took the next step in acquiring her partner’s share, becoming the sole owner of LJ Hooker Kingscliff.
With the office now nearing completion, she looks forward

to showcasing not only the new space, but the journey behind it.
When asked what inspired her to enter real estate, Rhiannon says that she has “always loved helping people.”
“I originally thought I’d go into aged care or disability support, but once I started here, I realised I could still make a meaningful difference, whether it’s helping someone secure their home, an investment, or a holiday.”
In today’s market, she notes that interest rates remain a key topic of conversation among buyers.
“There’s definitely ongoing discussion, but what we’re seeing is that buyers are adapting,” Rhiannon said.
“While rate rises have created some caution, demand in our area remains strong.
“People are still drawn to the lifestyle the Tweed Coast offers, and well-priced properties continue to perform well.”
Rhiannon is proud to share that her agency has secured the first land listing in the highly sought-after Kings Forest, with Erin and Amy leading the way, and is excited for the growth this development will bring to the area as momentum continues to build.
Her journey over the past year reflects strong leadership, determination, and a genuine passion for the community she serves.
Backed by one of Australia’s most recognised real estate networks, LJ Hooker Kingscliff combines national strength with genuine, personalised service.
Whether you’re buying, selling, investing, or growing your portfolio, Rhiannon’s team is here to guide you every step of the way.
