What’s happening in the area you specialise in?
Plenty of activity – lots of enquiry and an encouraging amount of optimism.
Describe the most interesting property you have sold
In my first career, I sold of a lot of property in Fremantle’s West End – which, although it was a secret for a while, turned out to be the University of Notre Dame.
What are the ingredients to being successful in your job?
Being organised and focused.
What aspects of your role do you enjoy the most?

Where would invest a spare $750,000?
I like the property syndicates – I’m probably now of an age where the strong income stream is important, rather than taking on too much risk. Do you have a spare $750,000?
