About Jade
Raised in a real estate family with close ties to the local community, Jade Jaenke wouldn’t want to work in any other industry. Jade’s foray into real estate commenced as a teenager assisting her parents in their two Ray White offices before she forged her own career path as Executive Assistant to Paul White (Joint Chairman of Ray White) and State Administrator for Ray White Rural & Livestock. After 5 years in the city, Jade decided to return to the little country town she called home and proudly led Ray White Toogoolawah as Principal before relocating to the Sunshine Coast for a change of lifestyle. Most recently, Jade has been a part of the Ray White Mooloolaba team, selling high-end real estate on both the coastline and the hinterland. Jade made the careful and deliberate decision to rejoin the family business and move back to the beautiful Somerset Region and all it has to offer. Jade’s experience and clear focus on exceeding her customer expectations ensures great testimonials. What her clients say: "Jade was absolutely fantastic to deal with right from our very first meeting. There was never anything that was too hard. Her communication and dedication towards the sale of our property was nothing short of exceptional. We couldn’t recommend to anyone more than Jade if they are looking for a professional, trustworthy and hard working agent to sell their home." Offering a healthy and balanced blend of youthful energy and personal experience while providing a mature and professional approach when handling all property transactions. You’ll often spot Jade having a chai at her local coffee shop with her two dachshunds Frankie and Molly or enjoying a Sunday afternoon of fishing on our beautiful lakes.

About Peter
I truly believe that the Somerset Region is one of the most unique and beautiful areas in all of Queensland, with its richness in heritage and charm, its leafy streets & open country, historic townships and nostalgic atmosphere, it is a place I love being able to call home. Originally from the Sunshine Coast, where my grandparents owned and operated a banana farm where I spent a great deal of my childhood growing up. The hard working values and beliefs that were passed down to me is something which I am very proud of. Over the past 30 years though, the Coast had transformed and it had me longing for a change. So, my partner and I made the decision to pack up and move to her home town, which was also where my grandmother was born. After almost a decade working for Ray White in sales, I decided to come home to Esk and bring with me the knowledge and experience of running a successful team. Buying and Selling real estate has been in my blood, I have been buying, renovating and selling homes since I was 19. Coupling this with my almost 10 years in the industry I believe it allows me to provide the absolute best experience for both buyers and sellers in what can often be a very emotional time. Combined with the history that my family shares in farming and agriculture, and the character and lifestyle that our Region has to offer with the fact that 67% of all buyers looking for property in the Somerset Region today being from outside the area; I can genuinely express to them how much they will love living in this beautiful place, and why they to should call our community their next home.

About Jeanie
I have lived in the Somerset Region for almost 20 years, before that I lived in Sydney. The life-style in the valley is amazing. Wide open spaces, room for families to grow and a great local community. If you love boating and fishing then this is the place for you. Wivenhoe & Somerset Dams are fantastic, great for fishing, water-skiing or jet skis. If you are a horse rider there are lots of places to ride including the Brisbane Valley Rail Trail. I'm passionate about real-estate and get a BUZZ out of finding just the right home for my buyers. I will be there for you from the day you sign a contract, until the day you move in.

JEANIE SMITH ***** If you're looking for a brilliant Real Estate Agent to sell or buy a home

SIGNING JEANIE SMITH UP TO SELL OUR HOME WAS THE BEST DECISION EVER. I realised Jeanie had lived in the Somerset Region for a long time now which is why she is well known (plumbers, neighbours, at post office all say she is lovely. Jeanie knows so much about the area, the houses in it and from her knowledge she keeps an eye on houses listed and sold. Selling a house can actually be stressful but Jeanie made it so much easier and would put my mind at ease. Jeanie was in contact with me continuously, was always punctual and professional, brilliant ideas and went above and beyond. I strongly believe this sale would not have gone through if we had listed with another real estate agent. The buyer had lots of questions and was quite nervous about the sale which is understandable as it is a lot of money, but Jeanie worked with both of us to get the facts and sort things out. As a real estate agent I presume it is very difficult in getting the sellers asking price and recruiting a buyer who is exceptionally happy with their new home and they too are getting value for money. I did feel bad for Jeanie and her family as Jeanie was working on her holiday (before I signed Jeanie up, Jeanie told me she was going away). Jeanie was communicating to the buyer and seller even after it was unconditional as she wanted both parties to be happy. I bet the average person wouldn't do that. Jeanie said "she loves her job and making people happy". We found a "down to earth" Real Estate Agent who got us the best price, is understanding, sympathetic, goes above and beyond, a brilliant communicator, a very hard worker, a new beautiful friend, a great negotiator, professional with no hidden surprises and made a happy buyer (buyer sent Jeanie a lovely email to forward to me) and seller. I would definitely use Jeanie to SELL or BUY a home in the Somerset region or surrounding Regions.

A pleasure to have Jeanie on your team

We recently sold our investment property that we purchased through Jeanie a few years back, she’s a great communicator and goes above and beyond to achieve a result that will satisfy you as a vendor! Jeanie knows the Esk / Toogoolooawah and Brisbane valley area as good or better than the rest. Would highly recommend.

Jeanie has been the best real estate agent we have dealt with.

Jeanie has been the best real estate agent we have dealt with. She goes above and beyond to help you with any real estate queries. She was able to be contacted at any time, to answer our questions or to allay any concerns we had on any part of our transactions. This is the third time Jeanie has helped us - we bought this house which she has just sold for us and also sold our last house. We (my husband and i) Highly Recommend Jeanie for anyone buying or selling any property
