Summary

I have been part of the real estate industry since 1988 and have built a solid reputation as a respected property manager. I am passionate about property management and my many industry awards are testament to my dedication and high standards of customer care. I have been recognised by my industry peers at the Real Estate Institute of Victoria and the Australian Real Estate Institute in their awards for property management and small business in 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009 and 2010. My vision to provide a dedicated property management service was realised in 2006 with the launch of Precise Property Management and my reputation for excellence has grown as a result.

My approach is one of integrity, honesty and professionalism. I am dedicated to providing a first class service at every business and property management opportunity.
