Home in the bay – Was started to fill the gap we can see in the market for people just like you that are looking for someone to look after their investment property. Your investment is more than just bricks and mortar or timber and colour bond, it’s a home. Yes, it’s a business but first and foremost it’s a home. Its going to be a home that someone will live in, a place for a family to grow in, a place where memories are going to be made, a safe haven, a place to laugh, cry, watch movies on the weekend, have friends over for a BBQs, a place to put your feet up after a huge week at the office or worksite. When you find the perfect home for someone it’s a wonderful feeling.
About us – Sandra got into Real Estate at the ripe old age of 21. After working as a chef overseas and deciding to return home to the Sunshine Coast she looked at buying a home with the hard earned money from overseas and a great exchange rate she set out on the search to find the perfect first home. Only to find that an agent wouldn’t show her through a home that kept calling to her. So what does any determined young lady do? You go straight to the top and ask the boss and guess what, 20mins later a contact was signed!
A new carrier was found!
Off she headed to the REIQ and obtained a full licence, then with the help of wonderful parents, purchased her first real estate agency, LJ Hooker Bli Bli. After having the agency for a few years a new challenge was sort after, so this office was sold and a new one opened in the heart of Mooloolaba, Blue water Rentals and Hot Shot Properties was born. This agency had over 500 properties under management, a large sales division that specialised in off the plan homes working closely with the developers of Chancellor Park and Kawana Island, selling mainly to investors. There was also a building and pest arm to the company. A lot was achieved in a short period of time. So much so after 6 years Ray white offered to buy the business out.
What’s a girl to do next you say? Head to Magnetic Island and buy a resort right on the beachfront. Now this might sound like you’re living a dream. However its great for a couple of years then you start to miss family and friends.
To cut a long story short, the Bay was calling me home.
After having some time off and having a son who now attends Fraser Coast Anglican College and is a budding soccer star in waiting, Real Estate was calling me back again doing what I love, looking after people and their homes.
