I have always enjoyed real estate and the property market in general. In 2013, I became directly involved within the real estate industry acquiring my own real estate agency. As a Licensed Principal, I am primarily responsible for all aspects of property management and sales in all areas of residential, commercial and rural sectors.Ultimately, I am responsible to numerous and relevant stakeholders within the dynamic and sometimes volatile conditions effecting the property market. The recent years have been a challenging yet enjoyable season to be responsible and accountable to employees, landlords, tenants and shareholders.
