WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO GO INTO REAL ESTATE?
After many years owning and operating a successful local hospitality and service-based business, I wanted to expand into a field where I could continue working closely with people, draw on my extensive local knowledge, and remain actively connected to the community I am proud to be part of. My experience as a business owner has given me a strong understanding of customer service, communication

and the importance of building lasting relationships, qualities I bring to my role in real estate. I’m excited to be part of Raine and Horne Jet, working alongside Jason, Liz and the team and continuing to build relationships within our local community. WHAT DO YOU LOVE MOST ABOUT REAL ESTATE?
I really enjoy meeting people, getting to know their stories and understanding what is important to them. Whether I am working with someone looking for their first home or helping our vendors navigate an important move, I value the opportunity to build genuine relationships and make what can be a significant life decision feel a little easier. For me, real estate is about much more than property. It is about listening, understanding people’s needs and being there to guide and support them through an important chapter in their lives. Being able to make a positive difference to people and help them move confidently into their next chapter is what makes real estate so rewarding • 2/6 Eastlakes, Tweed Heads South, 11–11:30am • 2 Azalea Court, Banora Point, 11:30am–12pm • 14 Valleyview Place, Terranora, 12–12:30pm • 16 Bosun Boulevard, Banora Point, 12–12:30pm • 43 Henry Lawson Drive, Terranora, 12–12:30pm • 22 Australia Drive, Terranora, 12:30–1pm • 20 Honeymyrtle Dr, Banora Point, 1–1:30pm • 26 Champagne Drive, Tweed Heads South,

for me.
WHAT’S YOUR BEST ADVICE FOR SELLERS?
WHAT TYPE OF PROPERTY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT?
Be well prepared, understand the current market and choose an agent who will communicate openly and honestly with you. Every property and vendor is different, so having a clear strategy, realistic expectations and a strong marketing campaign can make all the difference in achieving the best possible result.
I have a genuine passion for all types of property, with residential property being my primary focus as I establish my real estate career. I also hold my Stock and Station Agent’s licence, so I am well placed to assist vendors looking to sell rural or lifestyle properties. For me, it is ultimately about helping people and achieving the best possible outcome, whatever type of property they are selling. WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU SEEN IN THE LOCAL MARKET?
One of the biggest changes I have seen is growing demand for properties offering lifestyle and value. Buyers are increasingly looking beyond traditional coastal areas to our beautiful hinterland communities, larger blocks and strong sense of community. Buyers are also more considered, researching carefully and focusing on value. Well-presented properties in the right location, particularly those offering something unique, continue to attract strong interest. • 36 Peninsula Dr, Bilambil Heights, 10–10.30am • 25/22 Binya Ave, Tweed Heads, 11–11.30am • 7/17 Murphys Rd, Kingscliff, 11–11.30am • 3 Compass Way, Tweed Heads, 12–12.30pm • 10 Owenia Circuit, Bilambil Heights, 12.15–1pm

WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR BUYERS?
Know your budget, ask plenty of questions and keep an open mind. For first home buyers especially, don’t be afraid to ask for guidance. That’s what we’re here for. WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?
I enjoy taking my Bordoodle, Paris, for walks, spending quality time with family and friends, and making the most of a relaxing weekend away whenever I get the chance. I love the simple things: good company, being outdoors and exploring somewhere new. • 34 Chevell Place, Smiths Creek, 12.30–1pm • 837 Nobbys Creek Road, Nobbys Creek, 1.45–2.30pm
