Real Estate Estate

New headquarters coming for Elders Tweed Valley

By Jo Kennett

ELDERS TWEED Valley owner Craig

Dudgeon said he’s bucking the digital trends and is investing in bricks and mortar in Murwillumbah’s CBD to ensure longevity.

Elders Tweed Valley, launched in 2018 by Craig and Rebecca Dudgeon, has quickly established itself as a market leader, something Mr Dudgeon hopes can be solidified in his new and exciting headquarters at 1 Wharf Street.

Mr Dudgeon said he’s passionate about the area and his staff and wanted to find an iconic Murwillumbah CBD-based building to provide a complete range of real estate services now and into the future.

The art deco building was constructed by the NSW Rural Bank in 1936 and designed by local architect Rodrick Buchanan.

Mr Dudgeon said he was eager to breathe new life into the building by bringing it back to its former glory.

“In 1983 the bank removed a lot of the character features in the building and I’ve worked hard with the construction team at Berecon to bring

them back along with time period features,” he said.

The results are nothing short of exceptional with beautiful wood panelling, art deco fitting and fixtures, as well as some exciting surprises to be announced.

Mr Dudgeon said he was hoping to have his new site open from July 1 and looks forward to hosting a special open night event.

“I wanted to bring back that feeling of stepping inside a 1930s bank,” he said.

“It’s such a nice space and I felt it would be wrong not to bring back those art deco elements for our clients and staff to enjoy for decades to come.”

Mr Dudgeon has invested a substantial amount of time and money in restoring and maintaining the heritage significance of the building.

Amongst the additions are decorative moulding which is a standout feature, a new roof and some surprises to come inside the old vault.

Tweed Shire-based construction company Berecon was contracted to undertake the work and Mr Dudgeon said he’s “delighted” with the craftsmanship thus far.

“Stay tuned for our grand opening with plenty of surprises to reveal closer to the official July 1 date, pending construction and weather etc,” he said.

Mr Dudgeon said the site was also once home to a previous Elders operator.

“Elders is coming home to one of its former locations,” he said.

He also commented on the rise of a shift to digital services overseas.

“A lot of real estate agents are using offshore virtual assistants and PAs outside Australia to process sales and property management tasks these days,” he said.

“We wanted to invest in our staff and in the local economy and keep these services in house and available to our clients locally.

“We’ve just finishing training three new trainees and we’ve started another two recently, which further emphasises our commitment to supporting the idea of thinking and shopping locally.”
