After a stellar career in project management/development and marketing in the “inner city” building industry, Jan Brewster knew that the ultimate test of her sales and marketing skills would come from the challenging residential real estate marketplace. Jan’s results over 21years of working in the Dandenong Ranges have grown to match her extraordinary skills. So much so that her reputation is recognised year after year as a top female agent in the area and she has recently been awarded the Gold Award in sales for Victoria, and winning the ‘Home Sellers Choice Award’ as Agent of Choice from Open Agent for outstanding customer experience. We talk about the 3 P’s in real estate; Price, Presentation and Promotion, if all of these line up correctly, the property will sell in the shortest possible time and for the most amount of money. My job as a selling and marketing specialist is to provide advice on the presentation that will have a significant impact on the final result. Jan prides herself on helping her clients to achieve success in selling as well as offering advice on buying. Jan’s dedication to the job is reflected in her consistently high results. One of her most memorable was selling a home in Monbulk that set the suburb record price for a residential property, being sold in excess of $1.4mil. Not only this campaign but all her sales campaigns are tailored to the highest quality when it comes to marketing and Jan works tirelessly to get her properties the best exposure to buyers; local or from afar. Jan’s attitude towards her work is simple – “For me, it’s all about showing my clients how I can achieve the best possible price, and to make the whole experience of selling as stress-free as possible.” The fact that Jan continues to be referred onto new clients is a testament of not only her outstanding results but her work ethic and genuine care shown to every client. That’s her definition of success!
