HEIDI BOURKE - PRINCIPAL/DIRECTOR

HOW DID YOUR CAREER IN REAL ESTATE START?
By absolute surprise. I was working in a florist shop at the time and one of our clients owned a local real estate agency. One day I was looking for a change and she said, quit what you’re doing and come and be my receptionist… so I did.
One thing lead to another and here I am, 15 years later with my own business!
WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT YOUR
AGENCY TEAM?
The balance. We have no hierarchy, our team spirit is stronger than ever and we work collectively all day, everyday and we all have a place of employment we love.
DO YOU HAVE ANY PREDICTIONS FOR THE REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY FOR THE NEXT 12 MONTHS?
The established residential market will stay strong with the shortage of titled land. Our prices will hold steady and our investment returns
will maintain.
