I attended McClay College for 12 months to get my full Real Estate License so I could open my own Real Estate office "Barrenjoey Properties"

Throughout my career there I organically grew a rent roll to approximately 140 and employed 6 staff.

Within 8 months we became the number 1 Real Estate office in Avalon.

I was not only the lead agent in the office but quickly mastered the daily duties and responsibilities of running a small business.

Working 6 days a week and dealing with all situations with tennants , landlords, vendors and buyers and of course staff.

I find myself to be a great leader under stressful situations and a very sound listner to peoples wishes and needs.

I put a lot of my sucess to listening and trying to understanding my clients wishes and needs.

I pride myself on my honesty and ability to offer the correct advice treating every sale differntly based on the circumstance and needs of my clients.

I finally sold my business and moved from Avalon to Manly for a life style change.
