WHY ENGAGE ROGER OMDAHL AT LAGUNA REAL ESTATE? After 21 years successfully selling properties in Noosa Shire and surrounding areas, I still feel privileged to assist people to sell their biggest asset and with the best outcome. Numerous client testimonials (see below) attest to the analytical advice, personal support, marketing skill and negotiation finesse I apply to maximise the sale price. The premium price for a property will only be achieved through an agent who knows how to create a positive emotional experience and drive competition with buyers then negotiate having regard to the needs of the seller. I continue to be excited around the reality that there is no "recommended retail price" for property and relish the challenge of creating extra value through "low cost / high impact" proven marketing campaigns. Please let me know if you want to view independent reports from realestate.com.au which demonstrate my marketing success. Recognised by clients as a high achiever, my approach is to listen to what you want and why, discuss any questions you may have, then together set a plan to help you on the next stage of your journey with the best sale result possible. Let me know if you want to see genuine client testimonials.

RIDING ON A WAVE OF SUCCESS! You don’t meet too many surfers who aren’t passionate about what they do. Warren’s love of surfing stretches back to the 1960s and the draw of Noosa’s waves was a major reason behind his move to the area in 1981. By then he had already established a real estate career in Lower Plenty, Melbourne, but after numerous happy camping holidays in Noosa; Warren and wife Gail headed north with their two children Jae and Clinton to settle, surf and start their own business. Warren has been a well-known face in Noosa/Tewantin real estate for more than 28 years. He's been successful too – receiving numerous awards along the way, including the Queensland Sales Office of the Year three times in a row when his agencies were part of the Nationwide Realty Franchise Group. By delivering consistent results, Warren has built a reputation for good, reliable, honest service and prides himself on being dedicated to achieve the best outcome for his clients. He loves old cars and recently restored a 1964 EH Holden, winning several competitions. The surf still has a strong pull and Warren enjoys riding some of the best waves Noosa and the Maldives have to offer.
