Agent of the week

By Jo Kennett

THIS ISSUE’S Agent of the Week is Paul Stobbie, cofounder of Northern Rivers Property Group.

Paul made the tree change from the south of Sydney to a small block at Midginbil where he says his kids loved growing up.

More recently he moved to the centre of Murwillumbah which he reckons is “simply one of the best located regional towns in Australia”, “a fact many buyers looking in our area are fast recognising with our ease of access to an international airport, many stunning national parks and some of the best beaches in the country.”

Along with business partner Adrianna Jenkins, Paul now has many industry awards under his belt and is just as enamoured with the beautiful Tweed Shire as ever.

We caught up with Paul to find out more.

What makes a great real estate agent?

Australia and that makes us hot property all year round with people who are increasingly discovering all that our area has to offer.

What’s the biggest changes across the market over the past 12 months?

After many years of the lowest interest rates for property buyers the steady, relentless increase in those rates which hopefully is starting to abate.

How can people get a foot on the property ladder?

Just get in. If at all possible just buy something even if that something does not live up to all of your expectations. Get into the market first and foremost if possible. You can’t climb that ladder until you get a foot on a rung.

If you are thinking of selling now is a great time to get your property appraised and get ready to sell.
