With a characteristic bold move, Chris Delfsma jumped into real estate feet first, opening his own office from scratch in 1999. Within in two years he was the market leader in the area and he’s been in the Top 10 Century 21 Australia realtors many years running. “If you do everything right in a small community, people notice,” Chris says. Located in the Blue Mountains, about an hour west of Sydney, he serves many first time buyers who have been priced out of the Sydney market and want to buy a home in the Blue Mountains so they can commute back to work in Sydney. They soon find there are advantages to living alongside a World Heritage National Park–the gorgeous gorges and plateau are dominated by eucalypt forests, providing beautiful vistas the city certainly doesn’t have to offer.
