Real Estate FROM COAST TO COUNTRY
Agent of the Week
THIS WEEK we feature the delightful and hardworking Agent of the Week Elizabeth Hickey. Elizabeth is the Director and Licenced Real Estate Agent at Raine & Horne JET. Based in Murwillumbah, she’s a community-driven and ethical real estate professional known for her straightforward approach and impressive sales record. Having called the Tweed home since 1982, she has a strong connection to the community that makes it special. With more than 20 years’ experience in sales and customer service, Elizabeth brings a wealth of knowledge, natural communication skills and a personal approach to every property journey. From working as a Sales Manager for a local printing company to running her own takeaway business while raising her three children, she has always valued building genuine relationships and helping people achieve their goals. Elizabeth also volunteers in organisations including the Rotary Club of Mt Warning AM, and has built a strong network of trusted local businesses, tradespeople and residents. Her commitment and results have been recognised with the REB Rising Star Award in 2019, recognition among the Top Three Business Development Managers for Raine & Horne in Queensland/Northern Rivers,
Open Homes Saturday, October 10 Schmith Estate Agents
and a place among the top-rated agents on RateMyAgent.com.au. For Elizabeth, real estate is about more than property—it’s about people. Her greatest reward is seeing both buyers and sellers feel supported, valued and happy throughout the journey. Outside of work, Elizabeth loves spending time with her husband Wayne, her children and grandchildren, catching up with friends and giving back to the community.
What did you do before you went into real estate (the most interesting job if you had a few or leave it out if you didn’t)?
Before getting into real estate, I started my working life in hospitality. My first full-time job was at Coles Murwillumbah, where I worked across both the deli and checkouts. In 1999, I moved to Brisbane and worked at the PA Hospital as a kitchenhand. Making over 200 sandwiches in one sitting was no problem, but peeling 200 plus eggs a day...now that was a challenge! I then moved back to Murwillumbah, where I’ve been working with people in hospitality and sales ever since. It’s given me a real love for connecting with people and helping them along the way.
What inspired you to go into the industry?
Having moved around a lot growing up and attending 22 primary schools, I
understand more than most the importance of having a place to truly call home. To me, every home is someone’s castle, and it deserves to be treated with care, respect and pride. Helping someone secure a rental or purchase their own home can be a truly life-changing moment, and being part of that journey is incredibly rewarding. The joy and excitement that comes with helping people find their place in the world is worth its weight in gold. Being able to call that my job is something I feel incredibly grateful for.
What is your best advice for sellers?
Preparing your home for sale is all about creating the best possible first impression. Simple things like decluttering, cleaning, completing minor repairs and freshening up the presentation can make a big difference. Taking the time to prepare your property before going to market can help buyers see its potential and allow the home to be presented at its very best.
What about buyers? Any advice?
Buying a home is an exciting step, but being prepared can make the process much easier. Understanding your budget, organising your finance and knowing what you’re looking for can help you make confident decisions along the way. It’s important to consider not only the home itself, but also the location, lifestyle and potential ongoing costs. Taking the time to be prepared means you can move quickly when the right property comes along.
