Tony's background is in the building trade. Having completed his apprenticeship with a highly regarded local builder, he finds the knowledge gained as a fully qualified carpenter has been handy since making the switch to real estate, where he has sold 150 - 200 homes in his first 3.5 years.  Here's some of the topics we covered during the course of our discussion and what I learned about Tony: His favorite food is – Frangos and Sons Greek Restaraunt He loves talking about – General nonsense with friends, but talking music with Scott from One Point Photography is always enjoyable. Full of wisdom that man (😂 yep, we enjoy our catchups with Scott too 🎶 🎸) The last song he listened to was - Whatever - Oasis His favorite movie genre is – Harry Potter Series He really wishes he had more time to – Relax with friends!

Seeking advice from us is a great place to start and will help you on the way! He believes that the one thing all vendors should know is – How fantastic 3 Peas Property Styling and Doepel Lilley and Taylor are 😃 (Correct answer - ✔️) Tony tells me that if he didn’t sell real estate he would – – be swinging the hammer, building homes! 🔨  Finally, we didn't want to let Tony go without asking what he thought it was important for people to know about the agency he represents, Doepel, Lilley & Taylor and how he feels that Doepel's differs from other agencies. Tony told us that he felt that, 'Doepel Lilley & Taylor have been servicing the Ballarat area since 1888.

 It was great to have the chance to catch up recently with Dean Teuma of Harcourts Ballarat for a coffee & a chat at Eclectic Tastes Cafe & Pantry. Dean estimates that he has sold over $52million worth of property across Victoria in his 6 year real estate career and prides himself on winning the Customer Service Awards in 2013, 2014 & 2015 for franchise he was working for at the time.

He believes that the one thing all vendors should know is – That every property is unique in some way and that every property is only comparable to a certain level when it comes to comparable and that every property should be dealt with differently.  Finally, we didn't want to let Dean go without asking what he thought it was important for people to know about the agency he represents, Harcourts Ballarat and how he feels that Harcourts differs from other agencies. Dean told us that he felt that, 'our philosophy is that we are a people first organisation. We want to ensure that we deal with all clients with one train of thought, which is to exceed all client expectations, no matter what. One of my biggest attractions as an agent is that working in Real Estate in metro Melbourne, it has allowed me to be able to understand Melbourne buyers wants and needs, as well as their motivation and the circumstances they may have sold in, as 77.3% of buyers purchase property in Ballarat & surrounds that are from these Metro CBD locations.'

Finally, we didn't want to let Chris go without asking what he thought it was important for people to know about the agency he represents, HockingStuart Ballarat and how he feels that HockingStuart differs from other agencies. Chris told us that he felt that was about, 'doing the very best for our clients and getting them the best results possible. I’m pretty down to earth with the whole process, and people care expect to deal with the real person, not a fake agent with slick lines and dialogue!'

Our clients range from property investors with multiple investment properties to those buying or selling for the first time. We understand that the services we offer to each and every client have to be individual. We are one team, not a team of individuals. In a traditional real estate office or franchise the business consists of one owner with teams of individual agents all working for their clients, individually. When we sell your home, our entire team carries it through all of their opens, to all of their buyers and through until the completion of the sale.'

27 July 2019 - Domain Ballarat The Courier Ballarat - Australian Community Media (Click image to read full article)  I recently caught up with Sonia Gray of One Agency Ballarat for a pot of tea & a few laughs at the recently opened Higher Society. Although Sonia was part of a team that won a Franchise Australia No. 1 - Highest Number of Sales in Australia, I was interested to learn that the number or value of sales isn’t something that Sonia has ever felt the need to track. For just over 6 years, Sonia has done this job because she loves it, not for a number. She loves her job and what One Agency stands for.  Here's some of the topics we covered during the course of our discussion and what I learned about Sonia: Her favorite food is – Pork Belly She loves talking about – Animals & plants The last song she listened to was – Joan Jett - 'I love rock n roll' Her favorite movie genre is – Action She really wishes she had more time to – get some more renovations done at home (You're not alone there Sonia 🏡🛠) Her favorite city is – I haven’t travelled much, I had my daughter at 22 and have been busy working and raising the family. New York would be the city I would love to see the most. She thinks the best aspect of her job is – meeting new people every day and hearing all the different stories to why they are selling or buying. I have made some great long life friends, and its wonderful to catch up with them. Sonia feels the one thing all buyers have in common – Misunderstanding the real estate agents role. Real estate agents are friendly people and in the course of shopping for a house, you will spend a lot of time with various agents. However, the wise home buyer understands who’s working for whom. Unless you have engaged an exclusive buyers’ agent, then the agents are working for the sellers . In fact, they’re legally and morally obliged to work for their client, the seller. She believes that the one thing all vendors should know – Big agencies don’t mean higher prices, it often means less customer service. You can become a number, and this can lead to your agent spending less time on your most valuable possession. Sonia tells me that if she didn’t sell real estate she would – be doing something with marketing, I’m a very creative person and love learning new skills.  Finally, we didn't want to let Sonia go without asking what she thought it was important for people to know about the agency she represents, One Agency Ballarat and how she feels that One Agency differs from other agencies. Sonia told us that, 'the one agency ethos is all about one on one, personal service. There are many advantages in dealing with One Agency however what truly puts us one step ahead of the competition is our ability to guarantee that you will have the opportunity to deal directly with the owner of the business on a one on one basis. We are not a franchise - our independent offices work as a network.' Thanks for your time Sonia & to Higher Society for having us in!

 I recently caught up with Shani Stevens of One Agency Ballarat for a pot of tea & a chat at the recently opened Higher Society. I was interested to learn that after commencing a real estate career in her fathers agency in the mid-1980's, Shani took a long break, returning to the industry 3 years ago. This year has been an amazing year for Shani, with the opening of One Agency in Ballarat which has provided the opportunity to continue the work which led to her winning a Bronze franchise award, in her first 12 months back in the industry.  Here's some of the topics we covered during the course of our discussion and what I learned about Shani: Her favorite food is – Sour dough toast with vegemite, chocolate (We'd just like to clarify that these are best enjoyed separately 🤣🍞🍫) She loves talking about – Life The last song she listened to was – Layla Her favorite movie genre is – Crime She really wishes she had more time to – Travel Her favorite city is – Ballarat; although she prefers the country lifestyle She thinks the best aspect of her job is – Meeting people and working with them towards their goals Shani feels the one thing all buyers have in common is – A budget they must stick to She believes that the one thing all vendors should know – Research the agent you are thinking of using. Do they have knowledge of your area, are they going to negotiate fiercely to get you the best price or just take whatever comes just to “get another sale”. Marketing and negotiation can make thousands of dollars difference to the end result. Shani tells me that if she didn’t sell real estate he would – Be a surgeon (Well there's one out of left field 👩🔬🤣)  Finally, it didn't seem right to let Shani go without asking her what she thought it was important for people to know about the agency she represents, One Agency Ballarat and how he feels that One Agency differs from other agencies. Shani told us that, 'as a smaller boutique agency, we focus on our marketing & our negotiations – that is where the highest prices are achieved. We want to get to know our clients, as we believe we can best service them by knowing them. We feel it allows us to market their property with passion & the same conviction they would have if they were marketing it themselves. We also negotiate with that same passion. We are the only female agency in Ballarat. Not saying that women are any better than men, but we definitely approach things differently. Different approaches appeal to different clients.'

It's been a big year for Brayden, clocking up over $7 million in sales in this first year of his real estate sales career, and getting married but what really struck me about Brayden was his genuine passion for our community, which resulted in his recognition as Ballarat Young Citizen of the Year Award, in 2016.

He thinks the best aspect of his job is – Meeting new people and helping them achieve their Real Estate goals. Brayden feels the one thing all buyers have in common – Passion and excitement when looking for their new home. He believes that the one thing all vendors should know – It is important we help vendors understand and feel comfortable with the processes involved in selling their home. Brayden tells me that if he didn’t sell real estate he would – Strive towards becoming a champion at the “World Beard & Moustache Championships”. (We think you've got this one covered Brayden 😉)  Finally, it didn't seem right to let Brayden go without asking him what he thought it was important for people to know about the agency he represents, Buxton Ballarat and how he feels that Buxton differs from other agencies. Brayden told us that, 'our philosophy at Buxton is to ensure all our clients achieve their absolute best possible outcome. Our technology, premium marketing and superior database reach are important factors to achieving these results.' Thanks for your time Brayden & to 1816 Bakehouse for the excellent coffee!

 I recently caught up with James Montano of Buxton Ballarat for a coffee at the newly established 1816 Bakehouse, and aside from learning that James became a fully licensed agent as of late 2018, with three years in the industry and in excess of $52 million dollars of sales under his belt, I found him to be a relaxed and pretty chatty bloke.  Here's some of the topics we covered during the course of our discussion and what I learned about James: His favorite food is – Chicken He loves talking about – Anything in general really ( I can vouch for James on this one! 😉) The last song he listened to was – Higher Love - Kygo / Whitney Houston His favorite movie genre is – Action He really wishes he had more time to – Travel His favorite city is – NYC (yep, we love NYC too 🗽) He thinks the best aspect of his job is – Once we have closed a deal, see very happy vendors and also see the reaction of purchasers purchasing their dream home. James feels that the one thing all buyers have in common is – Excitement / Passion He believes that the one thing all vendors should know is – The Process - Trust the process James tells me that If he didn’t sell real estate he would – be a Storm Chaser (ok, this one goes to the top of our topic list for our next catch up James 😂)  Finally, it didn't seem right to let James go without asking him what he thought it was important for people to know about the agency he represents, Buxton Ballarat and how he feels that Buxton differs from other agencies. James told us that, 'at Buxton Real Estate, we pride ourselves on achieving the best possible outcome for our vendors each and every time, which comes from our premium marketing campaigns, technology, negotiating skill set and a huge reach within our data base throughout Victoria.'

 3 Pea’s Property Styling has been announced as a Finalist in the Property Styling category of the national Property Investor Awards, for the second year running.
Named as one of three finalists from a shortlist of fifteen home staging services nationally, 3 Pea’s Property Styling has been identified for their contribution to the industry, which includes presenting in excess of $60 million dollars worth of Ballarat real estate for sale, increasing property sale prices and decreasing time taken to sell in the process. Recognizing Australia's leading property professionals, the Property Investors Awards, is celebrating the best specialist professions adjacent to real estate and seeks to establish a benchmark for excellence in the industry, allowing investors to reference Australia’s top performers and what they’re doing right. These businesses help navigate the complex waters of investment, and at their finest can really transform potential storms into smooth sailing. There’s a saying about property investing: you pay for your education somehow, whether it’s by investing in experts to support you, or learning from your mistakes. The former is far less costly than the latter, so with these awards we hope to shine the spotlight on those who get results and make life easier for investors,” said Sarah Megginson, in underlining the importance of the awards. 3 Pea’s Property Styling is proud to assist local property owners to achieve the best possible outcomes when it comes time to sell. Business Owner, Jo Powell, said, “we are delighted with our nomination and it is tremendous to have our work recognized at a national level once again. Our background and experience means that we can not only furnish a property to look its best for sale, but in addition, we can, where required, take a more holistic approach and thoroughly prepare and present a property for sale.
