Looking at the big picture
with Gab Smith Many locals probably already know Gabriel (or Gab) Smith of BB Smith Conveyancing. Working as a licensed conveyancer and becoming well known in the NSW South Coast region as a committed and hardworking participant in the industry, Gab also finds the time to volunteer as a Patrol Captain of Broulee Surfers Surf Life Saving Club, while also having brought up four children. In her spare time she has competed in the George Bass Marathon four times, rowing a surf boat from Batemans Bay to Eden over 7 days! To celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th, we caught up with this local leader to discuss her career, why she loves working in the property industry, and her incredible contribution to the local community.

HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN CONVEYANCING? My former husband and I separated in 2010 and I was in contact with lawyers more often than I wanted to be, but it got me interested in the law. I ended up helping my family law solicitor with some paralegal work and I enjoyed that challenge. I was able to complete sufficient qualifications to be licensed as a conveyancer after three years of study.
