Well I have finally made the leap and moved into sales from sales administration. After working in real estate for the past 4 years and with the Professionals for nearly 2 years, I felt that the time was right. The Professional franchise is such a strong brand that I didn't hesitate to take on the challenge when the opportunity arose. I relocated from Sydney about 22 years ago with my husband just after our first daughter was born. After many years of beach holidays here in Forster we decided to make the move for a more relaxed family lifestyle. We have always loved the Great Lakes area and now can't imagine living anywhere else. Having previously co-owned the successful local business, 'In House Homewares' for about 10 years, I have probably spoken with and met most of the area's residents at one time or another. During those 10 years, I built lasting relationships and enjoyed finding the right gift or homewares by listening to the needs of my clients. I loved the challenge of operating my own business and I find that working in real estate gives me that same challenge. With my love of interior design and dealing with people, moving into real estate was a natural progression. There are a lot of great aspects about being in the Professionals sales team, including working with successful & motivated people & meeting with different people from all walks of life. Being part of a company that 'I am proud to be a part of', is extremely important to me. Real estate is such a diverse business, with something different happening every day and helping people to find the property that they love is a very rewarding feeling. Keeping focused on my ideals and goals and reassessing regularly helps me to realize my dreams and remain passionate about what I do. I look forward to an exciting year and catching up with the local residents that I've met over the years. So if you are thinking of selling your home or in the market to purchase a property I would love to offer my assistance.
