1. Tell us a bit about yourself – what you do, your hobbies, goals etc
I am a co-owner of a boutique and independent real estate and finance agency that provides property management, sales and mortgage services. Our office is based in the Hills District of Sydney. We list, sell, rent throughout Sydney and can finance any type of purchase throughout Australia.
Prior to this, I was a marketing professional at some of Sydney’s leading Large Format and Sub Regional Shopping Centres such as Rouse Hill Town Centre, Chatswood Chase, Supa Centa Belrose & Supa Centa Caringbah.
My husband Gurdev and I together launched this agency a year and half ago named after our two boys – Paras & Baz.
Being a mortgage broker, he had a number of clients that had an unmet need of selling or renting out properties that they owned. This led to the formation of our real estate division and is the prime reason why our listings are throughout Sydney.
After graduating from UTS with Property Economics and electing to sub-major in photography, my hobbies are all things creative. Being a visual person, I admire everything that meets the eye and enjoy graphic design, videography and photography. All of the branding aspects that you’ll see within our business are personally crafted.
My goal is to share my knowledge and experience to the community and clients I serve whether it be property related or beyond.
From a business point of view, our goal is to build a first-class reputable brand where we provide a memorable customer experience and make clients for life.
2. Who or what inspires you?
Being an optimistic person, I am naturally drawn towards industry thought leaders that project positive energy and motivate you to always be learning and developing. On top of this list is the real estate coach – Tom Panos – who is the third most influential and engaging real estate based speaker in the world.
In addition to this, I am honoured to be mentored by Manos & Maria Findikakis, the founders of E-view Group – Australia’s first multi-brand real estate group and aspire to build our brand like these leading property agents in Australia: Lisa Novak from Novak Properties Dee Why, Marty Fox from White Fox Melbourne and Gavin Rubenstein from Ray White Double Bay/ Woollahra.
3. Can you give some success tips to women who want to start or have just started their own business?
My tips would be as below:
– Never underestimate your potential and surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you. For me, this is my family – especially my Husband who encouraged me to go beyond my comfort zone and instilled confidence in me to become the person I am today. Being opposite in personality and interests, my husband and I complement each other and together we are a stronger force in business and in family life.
– Visualise your end goal as law of attraction states that the energy you draw or think about is what you are served in life.
– Follow a motivational speaker that inspires you and spend at least 30 mins a day on self-development. As they say, just like bathing, motivation doesn’t last and that’s why it is recommended daily.
4. What do you want to achieve in the next few years?
On a business front, I want to create an effective and efficient business unit that works together to help achieve our client’s property goals.
On a personal front, I would like to play an active part in the community by giving back and adding value to those that are less fortunate.
On a mindfulness front, I’d like to connect with and learn from authentic inspirational figures and pass on my learnings to my kids who can then continue the positive legacy.
