Hazelden Team pops sparkling with VIP service for clients

TUESDAY, May 16th, saw a return of the celebration of Small Businesses throughout the Glasshouse Electorate, with the 2023 Glass House Small Business Awards held at Hideaway Weddings, Beerwah. This great event was organised and hosted by Andrew Powell MP, Maleny Commerce, Montville Chamber, Glasshouse Country and Moreton Bay Chambers.

It’s great to see this event back after a long break thanks to the Covid years and celebrating the small businesses.

Bucher (Maleny Cheese). This year also saw a new category in the Hall of Fame: businesses and employees who have been nominated and excelled in their participation in this and previous years.

Our Hall of Fame Businesses are the Maple Street Co-op and VIP Wildlife. Maleny Hall of Fame Employee is Sharon Schofield (Easton Lawyers).

TAMARA Hazelden and the Hazelden team are popping the champagne for clients and that’s before a sale has even been finalised. The Beerwah-based real estate agent has started rolling out the red carpet with VIP open houses across the hinterland, giving buyers that luxe touch when inspecting what could be the biggest purchase of their lives. While equally important, it is giving sellers the ‘luxury’ of knowing their house has never looked so good or felt so special.

Tamara said the idea is to create a point of difference in the competitive market. “It’s such an exciting time for buyers and vendors and with the intense amount of interest out there for hinterland properties, we wanted to do something a little bit extra special,” she said. “Our VIP open homes really elevate the buying experience and showcases the very best of why people would want to live here.”

That includes midweek evening open houses with open fires, fairy lights, bubbles and tapastyle nibbles, along with sweets for kids coming along for a look at their new backyard or swimming pool.

“I’m always looking to create a point of difference,” Tamara said.

“Part of my drive is to showcase the incredible, unique hinterland properties we have, but to also create long-term meaningful relationships with what is an incredibly important investment.”

A healthy, vibrant business community is at the heart of every great little town. Judging this year was tricky as ever, with many close calls and my thanks and congratulations to all who participated. We are blessed with many exceptional businesses in Maleny.

Congratulations to all the businesses who participated in this celebration of Small Business. We’re all winners with folks like you doing business in Maleny.

Well done also to the Wood Expo hosted by Barung Landcare April 29th - May 1st. Great to see this awesome event back on track with a great weekend of weather.

One downside to the event was the inadequacy of the mobile phone network
