On getting into real estate
Initially, I applied for a job advertised in the paper for a receptionist at Elders Real Estate, Morely Peter Kuhne & Associates. Thankfully I got the job, and within about six months, I became their assistant property manager.
Now, after 21 years still working in the industry, I still love it. During this time I have completed my sales registration, worked my way up to senior property manager, became a sales cadet, did my triennial certificate, became a department manager, worked in trust accounts, moved my way across to branch manager and then licensee/department manager, and now general manager for Vivien Yap’s offices Ray White Dalkeith Claremont.Â
The happiest moment in my career
Working within a variety of businesses, which has allowed me to meet some incredible people who are life-long friends and associates now.
The most memorable moment
An executive property in Swanbourne. A former tenant showed interest and 18 months later, I got to lease it to them.
Best advice she’s received
