Proud mother of three, keen gardener, enthusiastic home renovator, passionate property manager and all round really nice person.
Cherie is with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate, Coast and Hinterland branch (Sunshine coast area ) and is the property manager and BDM. In less than a minute into our conversation it was plainly evident why she would be successful in this role.
‘Property management comes second nature to me, I guess it’s because I find it easy to relate to both owners and tenants. Having investment properties myself I understand what the needs and desires of owners are. When it comes to placing people into properties, I like to put myself in their shoes, to understand their requirements and be sure the property is right for them. It must be a good fit for both the tenant and the owner, there are so many factors to be considered, and that’s where experience comes into play.’
With more than 20 years’ experience in the industry, Cherie cut her teeth in real estate back in Sydney, before moving to the sunshine coast with her husband and family six years ago.
‘It was a lifestyle choice for us, moving to the Sunshine Coast and setting up my husband’s business here. It was time out of my career but a great experience for all of us.’
‘Speaking of time out of my career, between that and having 3 kids it certainly made a big difference to what I had in super compared to my husband. Unhappy with that, we got some advice and are now salary sacrificing for one thing to make up some of that ground.’
Having enough super may not just affect your future lifestyle, but also the type of healthcare or aged care options available to you.
‘I’ve been with REI Super since I first started in real estate, happy with the returns and the fact that it’s a fund that caters specifically for our industry. Their communication is good, and I really appreciate the fact that you can call and speak to someone directly for information and advice.’
‘I love interacting with people, and I love placing good people into great properties. I have to say, I love my job.’
