APPLECROSS agent profile Introducing Jodie Moores “She’s absolutely lovely” is what people say after meeting Jodie Moores. Bright and bubbly with a strong sense of integrity, people appreciate her professionalism, warmth, compassion and honesty. “Buying and selling can be an emotional, lifechanging experience; I’ve moved seven times in a 13 year period so I know what it’s like. This may mean postponing a sale, or cancelling a home open, or changing the way we do things to best suit the client and their needs. "We’ve gone from upsizing to downsizing, from a single dwelling to a duplex or survey strata, from buying an investment house and land to subdivide, to building. Plus I’ve helped my mother move from her home into a retirement village. So I can honestly say I understand the procedures, stresses and emotions involved from both the agent's and client's point of view. I know how important it is to find the right agent, someone who you trust and who makes you feel empowered and a part of the process.” "As agents we need to remember that we're dealing with a major financial and emotional investment for our clients and they deserve good service. They want you to treat them honestly and fairly, return phone calls and emails, provide regular feedback and listen to them. It’s quite simple.” Her experiences have shown Jodie that good communication is vital, and people want to feel confident that their agent is working hard on their behalf and is empathetic to their situation. "Change is always unsettling, whether it's buying your first home or selling the family home you've lived in for 20 years. I work closely with my clients to make the transition as smooth as possible. "This doesn't just mean making sure the ads are in the paper and the contracts are written up correctly, it also means paying attention to what is happening in their lives and making changes where necessary. Jodie lives in Attadale and knows the local area well, having lived in Applecross, Ardross and Mount Pleasant over the years. "It's a fantastic area. There's a wonderful sense of community and it's very family friendly. I like that it's close to the river and cycle tracks - the foreshore is a great place to take the family or just walk the dog - and there is protected wetland for birdlife. Plus there are plenty of sporting facilities and parks. “We know we are in the right place.” Jodie can be contacted on 0432 966 366 if you want help buying or selling, or just want to speak to someone about the state of the market.
