One might not be blamed for thinking that with the recent changes at Harcourts Bridgetown that principal John Ranieri is gathering his own version of Charlies Angels (or perhaps building a sort of corporate harem) with an all-female team now on board.
In addition to the well-established Property consultants Cathy Willis and Sue Moscarda, new to the team are Rental Property manager Brandie Kenna and marketing manager/personal assistant Bernadette Johnstone.
While Brandie has recently moved to town her connection to the Bridgetown area is long standing with her mother and business owner Stephanie De Vaney having been here for over 20 years and Brandie having spent lots of time here. The maternal side of the family being amongst the first settlers in Manjimup from Ireland many moons ago.
Brandie is self-confessed property nut whose real estate career began in the busy Margaret River Region and the past year has seen her managing an extensive portfolio across the Perth Metro area for a leading Property Management Company.
Now a registered owner/builder, Brandie also rented for many years so understands the issues and challenges facing both landlords and tenants. Her motto has always been to aim for a win-win scenario for both parties and she feels strongly that clear communication is the key to effective service delivery within property management.
When asked why Harcourts, Brandie said she was excited to join a stable, reliable firm with a long history who have embraced modern technology and utilise the latest real-time reporting systems using iPads on site to send detailed and accurate reports giving Landlords absolute peace of mind.
Bernadette, like many bitten by the “Beautiful Bridgetown” bug, moved away for a while to the big smoke but missed being part of the community and returned 18 months ago. Her role will focus on providing support to principal John Ranieri who in addition to running the business is a specialist in rural and livestock properties.
Harcourts is a global brand with a strong local focus and 2017 will see the start of the Harcourts Hero campaign.
The quarterly event will see a lucky winner, as voted by the community, pick up $250 worth of community vouchers. This is in keeping with Harcourts long standing advocacy of local business.
As rotarian and principal John Ranieri commented: “we feel thankful to be so well supported by the community and always want to give back when we can”.
Nominations are open now until February 10 and can filled in through the Facebook page or by picking up a nomination form from the Harcourts Office, The Cidery, or Greenbushes CRC.
Get your nominations in and you may be the lucky winner of a $50 voucher from The Cidery which will be announced at the prizegiving on March 24 at The Cidery.
