Real Estate AGENT OF THE WEEK
By Jo Kennett OUR AGENT of the Week is William Campbell, a lifelong Tweed local who grew up on a cane farm and brings deep knowledge of the region’s rural and urban communities to his real estate career. Starting in property management with First National Murwillumbah, he managed a portfolio of more than 200 properties before moving into sales, combining property expertise with legal administration, customer service and sales experience. We caught up with William for a chat.
WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO ENTER THE INDUSTRY? Property has always fascinated me. I started out as a law clerk in conveyancing, which gave me an early, practical view of how transactions come together, and where they fall apart. What I enjoyed most was coordinating the effort behind a sale. Every property transaction carries real weight for the people involved, and no two ever present quite the same obstacles. Guiding that process through to a result is genuinely rewarding, and that mix of complexity and resolution is what pulled me from conveyancing into agency work. Growing up on a fifth-generation farm in the Tweed added another layer once I moved into rural and lifestyle sales, but that

early conveyancing exposure is where the pull started.
WHAT PROPERTY TYPE ARE YOU MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT? Rural and lifestyle acreage, hands down. No two holdings are alike, so there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, every property rewards a tailored read. Having grown up on a working farm, and still living rurally, I understand not just the land but what makes a rural enterprise actually function: water access, pasture and stock capacity, shedding and infrastructure. That background also means I know the typical buyer in this space well, which helps me get both sides to an outcome they’re genuinely happy with. At the other end of the spectrum, I have a real soft spot for period homes, Federation, Edwardian, mid-century, and especially the Californian bungalow. Their charm is in the history: the architecture reflects the era it was built in, rather than just being a style stuck on a floor plan.
WHAT’S THE BIGGEST CHANGE YOU’VE SEEN IN THE MARKET RECENTLY? The big story of the last seven years is growth, values have effectively doubled, and that’s reshaped more than just price. It’s driven strong demand for dual-living setups, whether that’s multiple generations under one

roof or a secondary dwelling helping offset the mortgage. It’s also pushed buyers further afield. Remote work means the daily commute no longer dictates where people live, so more affordable, less coastal-adjacent areas are now genuinely on the table, and that’s been a direct driver of the uplift we’ve seen in lifestyle acreage specifically.
WHO’S BUYING NOW, AND WHERE ARE THEY COMING FROM? The exodus out of Sydney and Melbourne has cooled considerably. Most of our current buyers are coming from the Brisbane and Gold Coast corridor instead. Murwillumbah is well placed for this, we sit almost equidistant between the Gold Coast and Byron Bay, and within twenty-five minutes of coastal areas that have become lifestyle enclaves many buyers can no longer afford. That makes our relative affordability a genuinely compelling proposition. Buyers tend to split into two groups: families with older kids drawn by bigger, more affordable homes and established schools; and downsizers out of larger coastal properties, after a quieter pace and less upkeep, without giving up the town, the services, or the amenity around them. So if you’re looking to buy or sell without delay, where there’s a Will there’s a way – call William today!
