Robin Newton
Sales Consultant |
|
Robin’s upbringing on a sheep station west of Stanthorpe is apparent in her love of animals and the outdoors and her refreshingly open, honest and simplistic approach to life. You will often see Robin out letterbox dropping leaflets with her faithful hound “Oakey” and several of her friends’ children in tow, making this usually monotonous task a fun outing.
Robin’s knowledge and understanding of the Real Estate industry comes from owning her own Century 21 Agency in Milton where she sold residential properties and commercial sites in the City and throughout the Western Suburbs of Brisbane. After selling the business in 1996, Robin joined AV Jennings where she spent five years selling new homes from Display Centres in Narangba, Sinnamon Park and The Gap.
In August 2001, Robin joined Realty 1 Pty Ltd in The Gap as a Sales Consultant and built a large data base of buyers and sellers. The feedback and ongoing referral business that Robin receives from past clients is proof that she has made buying and selling homes a pleasant experience for many people. The merger with Harcourts Inner West offers Robin the opportunity to continue to service these clients with the same personal care and attention and grow her business with the added support of a large corporation. |
