GET TO KNOW OUR HOOD
'TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY HoHoHo and #welcometothehood! So, the festive season is well and truly upon us which means we have heaps to be grateful for and lots to keep us entertained. Summer has finally arrived (not that anyone would know it after all the crazy weather we have been experiencing), the man in the big red suit is on the way (hands up who will be glad to see the back of the Elf on the Shelf), it’s nearly the end of the 2018 (strewth where did that year go???) and eating Aunty Jan’s famous Christmas day Pav is imminent (hallelujah!!!) We promised 2018 would be big and boy it did not disappoint, with 2018 going down in history as our craziest but most exciting year on record. Of course, being able to share the real estate journey with so many of our wonderful clients is always the highlight but expanding into our new digs and welcoming new staff has also been a blast!! We have so much to be thankful for and we are humbled by your ongoing support. Thank you from the bottom of our wine glass… sorry we mean heart. This month we couldn't resist to poking fun at some Christmas nutters (sorry mum) so we compiled our top 17 signs you are Christmas obsessed and most certainly need to move to Whoville. We also scored an interview with local legend Simone Villarroel from Pretty on the Inside in our "get to know our hood." Finally, we want to take this opportunity to wish all our wonderful clients and friends a beautiful and safe Christmas and a prosperous 2019. As always, we hope you enjoy the edition and Merry Christmas Ya Filthy Animals!
merry christmas & happy new year Trent, Leah and the entire Merimbula Realty Crew would like to wish all of our wonderful landlords, tenants, vendors and purchasers a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Â Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to assisting you with all your property needs in 2019

GET TO KNOW OUR HOOD SIMONE VILLARROEL BOSSLADY
AT
PRETTY
ON
THE
INSIDE
This month we caught up with the very charismatic Kween of Merimbula's retail scene (and she may kill us for saying that) Simone Villarroel from Pretty On The Inside. Not only is this country gal at heart pretty on the inside and out but she packs a serious punch when it comes to all things retail, design & business (you should see her Bio). Since taking over the business mid 2015 she cleverly rebranded, curated some to die for brands and even launched online so her army of loyal pretties could enjoy her treasures beyond the sapphire coast. When this entrepreneur isn't manning the shop, posting orders or being our biggest social media supporter (thanks for the love) she is Mum to adorable little munchkin Lilliana as well as a FIFO wife. Impressive much???? We think so!!!!! Thanks for the laughs Sim and HBD for the 23rd
L I K E S family & socialising Prosecco, champas & wine (in that order) Netflix & chill
1. WHAT'S THE BEST PART OF THE JOB?
travel (anywhere)
Being apart of such a wonderful community and the
being creative/design
wonderfully loyal clients, which are like family. Also being my own boss, it's very liberating not being told what to do 2. THE LEAST ENJOYABLE PART OF THE JOB Also being your own boss because you are responsible for EVERYTHING 3. WORST CUSTOMER TRAIT AND HOW YOU DEAL WITH IT? Definitely stinky customers with BAD body odour. Shame I can't kick them out, but I do keep a bottle of perfume on hand to spray the moment they leave.
decent & kind people good restaurants
D I S L I K E S rude customers disloyalty injustice
4. WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?
liars
Travel, which reminds me it has been a while since I have had a good holiday
smelly people (& yes I
5. TOP 3 HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS America (LA), Chile (husby's motherland) and Italy

CHRISTMAS HOURS Contrary to popular belief this is one of our busiest times of the year and we wouldn't dream of taking a break.
We are only closed for the Public Holidays so feel free to drop in & say hi!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Many happy returns to Jan, Lance and Taylor who all celebrated getting another year older or should I say wiser. Hopefully you guys partied like it was 1969.
