THE REAL ESTATE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
by Carol Lowcock
I was raised in the small community of Harvey, close to Bunbury, with good, solid community values, where my connectedness with my environment came from my local school, my
sporting pursuits and my family’ s interaction with the community.
The feel that I got from my surroundings was based on respect and the heart centred approach that the local’ s businesses had for their customers. There was that invisible piece of string that tied the community together. Listening and talking, understanding what the customer wanted, was always evident. It obviously had an impact on me as I reflect about my current role as a representative with an independent realestate company, that I now work as a home based business.
I haven’ t always been in realestate. It actually found me quite by accident, when another well-known realestate agent recognised my networking skills at a local school art auction and invited me to connect further with him. I would not have thought that helping a friend promote art would lead me to a home based realestate business, let alone the solo representative for my company in my region! Being open to personal growth, the connection was made. experiences living in Perth, the Pilbara, the Kimberley and mid-west regions of WA, this came naturally with a wide demographic. The relationships formed through building trust, respect, being transparent with strong ethics are the foundation of who I am, which is reflected through my business.
Connecting with SLP,( Sell Lease Property) Realestate, a Western Australian company, which started from humble beginnings in Perth with a platform model, different to traditional realestate, has allowed me to balance family, life and leisure into the mix. Being able to build my home business nationally and internationally from home has given me more flexibility with less overheads and that I have not previously experienced, so at the end of the day my family, my clients and I benefit.
My present company aligns with my family values, so being able to meet clients on a more flexible timetable has helped build some great connections. This means that I have the time to listen … and I receive great satisfaction when I have met my client’ s needs. I have often thought myself similar to that of a confidant, as buying a property is a very real and emotional experience for many people. I love this part of my profession.
The Bunbury region is a beautiful place to live in and provides my husband, Brett and our three children the opportunity to interact in sporting and community groups, developing relationships and giving back. Bunbury and surrounds is evolving with new industry, small business development, community projects, beautification of public spaces, entertainment and many other facilities, which will bring many people to this region.
