With a life-long passion for property, Amber chose a career in real estate rather than a tertiary education, despite having finished year 12 at a local high school in the top 5% of the state.
Quickly progressing from reception through to property management and then sales by the tender age of 18, Amber's incredible achievements as a young woman in what was at the time a male dominated profession attracted national media attention.
Collecting numerous industry accolades along the way, Amber opened her own independent agency, Amber Werchon Property (AWP) in 2008. Within a short time, AWP had become the leading agency in the area with a high performing team who regularly achieve record results off the back of exceptional levels of customer service.
Amber's natural empathy, close community ties and strong leadership continue to play a fundamental role in the day-to-day success of the business, while the work-life balance she's achieved as the mother of two young children provides an effective model for both her team and industry peers.
"I expect excellence from my agents and all my staff at AWP, as it is very much a team effort with every member of staff striving for the same outcome; the best result for you!".
Entering her fourth year as REIQ Zone Chair in 2017 and a sought-after key note speaker at high profile events, Amber has become a well-recognized industry spokesperson and continues to be regularly featured in the media.
