For 39 years I have had the privilege of selling homes in Toowoomba. The comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the market amassed over this time uniquely positions me amongst Toowoomba agents. I have sold some of this city’s most admired homes and specialize in property along the escarpment. It was in July 1984 I joined the family business as a sales agent and three years later became a partner. I am proud that, alongside my brother Peter, the business our father started remains in family ownership and as an independent agency. We attribute our longevity to strong ethics and business acumen, embracing technology and advances within the industry, whilst retaining the personal ‘family’ touch. My most memorable sale occurred in May 1988. At the time, the median house price in Toowoomba was $50,000. After meeting a buyer from NSW and showing them homes over the course of the day, a contract was signed on 2 East Street, Redwood for $650,000 – a record that was not broken for over a decade. I was involved with the resale of this home in 2016 for $2.2 million. Another historic sale was on Tourist Road Rangeville which was the first Toowoomba home to sell over $1 million, setting a record of $1,496,000 in 2002. In 2010 I resold this home for $2,625,000. My personal record is selling one home five times over. Dealing with people and property continues to be a fascinating and rewarding experience, after half my lifetime in the profession. The privilege of being invited to appraise a home is undiminished, and the excitement and satisfaction generated from the negotiation of a sale still remains as compulsive as ever. An ability to negotiate a favorable outcome for both parties has meant a constant source of repeat business. I am an avid supporter of local community events and organizations, and have been a proud and active member of Rotary for over 30 years. I am currently on the advisory board of Friends of Cobb & Co. Museum. I thoroughly enjoy the processes of fundraising and have been fortunate to be involved in many community projects and events in our region.
