About Chris
I have lived and owned businesses in Nannup since 1992 and like most people in Nannup fell in love with the town, its people, the lovely green hills, the Blackwood River and the endless jarrah and marri bush which surrounds us in every direction. We had a furniture making business and I also owned two newspapers the Nannup Post & Rail and the Pemberton & Northcliffe Post & Rail for many years which substantially increased my knowledge of the area. Having always loved property I made the change to selling real estate in early 2005 and then in 2007 became a Licensed Real Estate agent. In 2010, I opened Nannup Real Estate and my husband Kim joined me in the business and we run it as a husband and wife team. We both take great joy in helping people find the dream of country living as we did.

About Kylie
Every property I have had the opportunity to sell has been about "working together as a team to achieve success". With 18 years of experience, being able to offer seller/s or referred clients various ways to market their properties, offer them sound, honest professional advice is why Real Estate remains my number one passion. Results matter. Working Yanchep to Mandurah is a pleasure knowing I have a vast area of knowledge within Perth, proven results and most of all happy clients.

About Magda
My clients repeatedly say that I am honest, enthusiastic and dedicated to delivering outstanding service and I strive to live up to this reputation in every listing I take on! I believe in a personalized approach to every sale. I combine a friendly and considerate manner with exemplary attention to detail and an impressive knowledge of the local area. I have been consistently praised for being genuine, down-to-earth and for my insistence on keeping clients informed and aware at every stage of the selling process. Always exceeding expectations to handle any request, I have the unique ability to adapt to any scenario. My positive energy, persistence and finely tuned negotiation skills have resulted in strong and outstanding achievements. Moving from Poland to Australia several years ago, I brought with me a huge amount of sales negotiation expertise from a long career in sales across a broad range of industries. Time and time again strive to I building strong relationships with all my clients as that is the foundation of selling successfully. Immediately before arriving in Australia, I was at the top of my field as a sales representative in an national advertising company located in Poland. Wanting to pass on my knowledge and experience, I then began to train work colleagues in the art of negotiation and sales. My systematic approach to streamlining processes whilst keeping integrity and common courtesy at the heart of everything I do, earns me the respect of my clients and peers alike. Making the choice to move into the Real Estate Industry came naturally to me. Since starting in real estate sales in 2013, I have enjoyed the fast pace that is the Real Estate Industry. But more important to me, are the long term relationships I have formed while helping my clients achieve their property goals. It's easy to say that a partnership like this can only bring the BEST results for both Seller and Buyer. In 2015, I decided to start a new chapter in my career by joining the team at Sell Lease Property (SLP) as a Property Consultant believing that the Company's Goals, Systems and Values were all aligned with my own. As my knowledge and love of the real estate industry grows, I believe my ability to achieve my highest goals possible are within reach by endeavouring to active the best possible results for every one of my clients. With extensive experience in communicating with clients, the current market and property knowledge I am able to produce a fast and efficient sale with the maximum price possible. I look forward to both meeting you and working with you. Warm regards.

Above and Beyond every time

We have worked with Chris before and were very happy to have her help us sell another our Nannup properties. She is always willing to go above and beyond, and we truly appreciate the time, care and effort she puts in. Having someone we trust makes such a difference. Thank you, Chris, for your support throughout the sale. We would happily recommend you.

I engaged Russell to sell 2 units I owned in North Perth & Highgate . He provided a personal service, visiting me to discuss strategies in marketing the properties, signing the documents and briefing me on the progress .He relieved me of any concerns and successfully sold the properties very quickly. I would highly recommend Russell to market and sell your property .

Great agent to deal with and very professional

We decided to not use a local agent as we hadn’t sold any properties in the area. I needed to be comfortable with the agent I was dealing with as ultimately the decision on the final price would be mine as my husband is unwell. We were not pressured to reduce the price at any time and the sale price was definitely more than we expected. Russell show a great deal of professionalism but is approachable and we could discuss any issues. We were overseas during the sale process but that was never an issue. Would definitely recommend him for any property sales.
