Professional Background and expertise
Your journey into the real estate investment field
My journey into real estate investment began three and a half years ago after completing a Bachelor of Commerce degree with majors in Marketing and Entrepreneurship. Prior to this, I worked in business development. Now, I'm dedicated to using my expertise to help individuals achieve their investment goals.

Areas of real estate investment you're most knowledgeable about
My areas of expertise in real estate investment include:
1. Securing the best opportunities with a focus on rental yield and capital growth.
2. Effective leasing strategies and ongoing property management.
3. Expertise in emerging markets within the Western Australia (WA) and Queensland (QLD) regions.
Clients can rely on my guidance and insights to make informed decisions and seize strategic investment opportunities in these areas.
A challenging memory that comes to mind
The most challenging project I've worked on was helping a client in her mid-20s find a property. She had been searching for two years with no success. After she approached us, we found her a suitable property within three weeks, which gave her a positive equity of $10,000 before settlement. This experience showed me the importance of thorough research and having a good team to rely on.
Personal Philosophy and Values
I assess the client's investment long term goals, financial situation and timeframe. Based on this information I work to secure properties tailored to their brief and needs.
As a real estate professional, integrity and transparency are paramount values to me.
Achievements and Client Success Stories
I had a client in her mid 20s looking to purchase a property, she was searching for 2 years and couldn't find something of her own. She approached us and within 3 weeks we secured her a property that gave her a positive equity position of $10,000 prior to settlement.
It is important to thoroughly research the market and property before making a purchase. Understanding the area, property values, potential rental income, and expenses is crucial for making an informed investment decision. This is where we come in to do the hard work for you!
It is important to have the right team behind you and if you do, trust the process!

My personal interests and hobbies, such as problem-solving, attention to detail, and communication, contribute to my professional skills. These qualities help me in analysing data, identifying opportunities, and effectively communicating with clients to meet their real estate investment goals.

The future of real estate investment looks set to embrace more tech-driven solutions, like data analytics for tracking market trends and online platforms for property transactions. Adapting and diversifying investment strategies will be crucial in this changing market.
Professionally, I'm focused on upgrading my skills through ongoing learning and aiming for a leadership role at SP.
