Elders Tweed Valley awarded By Jonathon Howard ELDERS TWEED Valley and Coolangatta principal Craig Dudgeon says the Tweed Valley market continues to perform “exceptionally well” and is bucking the trends of the major cities.

That means we are the price setters and we’re achieving the best results for our clients. “As a family-owned business, it’s been humbling to have a great team working towards that phenomenal outcome.” Mr Dudgeon is now number two nationally in the Elders Group from more than 3,000 agents and more than 360 agencies.

“What we’re finding is the market is continuing to show strength, but there are just more days on the market. “We are a highly desirable area and that’s not going to change anytime soon.” Mr Dudgeon and his wife Rebecca Dudgeon have owned Elders Tweed Valley and Coolangatta for six years and the couple remain passionate about connecting the dots for both buyers and sellers. But a big part of the success of Elders Tweed Valley is the team behind it. “We’ve built a hard-working team with family values and lots of experience,” Mr Dudgeon said. “I love what I do, and our team are amazing. “It’s not my aim to get these national awards, but it’s also testament to our hard work as a team and our passion for the real estate sector.” Having a background in servicerelated industries and small business, Mr Dudgeon is a born and bred local who loves the
