Celebrity TV chippy Tom Williams joins Michael Coombs LJ Hooker Avnu team
Former TV presenter Tom Williams has joined LJ Hooker Avnu's new office, the Michael Coombs team in Mosman.
Coombs was previously at McGrath for 16 years before McGrath ended its franchise agreement on the Lower North Shore late last year.
Williams (below), whose kids go to school in Mosman, told the Mosman Collective, who suggested he was always interested in real estate.
“Property – and real estate is my thing," he said.
“It always has been, but most people haven’t known about it - until now!
“My family are super excited about the incredible opportunity I’ve been given, especially my young daughters.
“I’m really excited about this new direction in my career and thrilled to be joining Team Coombs."
Williams turned to real estate late last year shortly after leaving Channel 7 where he was the co-host of The Daily Edition.
He joined project marketing company Boutique Estates International, where his sister in law Vanessa Gilbert is a director.
He was marketing Inspire Broadwater, the new Labrador tower on the Gold Coast.
Coombs greeted Williams on Facebook, saying he is "excited to have Tom join the team."
Coombs now have a team of five at LJ Hooker Avnu, carrying four over from the former McGrath office.
Coombs is a founding agent of LJ Hooker Avnu, a little-known, newly launched, technology-based full-service agency based at nearby Neutral Bay.
Coombs told the Mosman Collective appointing Williams was an "absolute no brainer".
“Tom is a Mosman boy who has been involved in property for most of his life,” Coombs said.
“He is a passionate local, he understands our suburb and its people – and his knowledge of the lower north shore market is impressive.
“He’s going to be a huge asset to Team Coombs.”
