Agent of the week Real Estate
By Jo Kennett
THIS ISSUE’S Agent of the Week is Justin Schmith from Schmith Estate Agents, who is passionate about the Tweed and has built a top agency despite his relative youth.
Justin, who has just become a first-time dad to beautiful Matilda, loves being involved with the local community and sponsors all sorts of clubs.
It’s his passion and drive that has seen Schmith Estate Agents grow to become one of the most successful family owned and operated agencies on the coast, with an office on the Gold Coast and a marketing office in Sydney. We caught up to Justin to find out more. What makes a great real estate agent?
Persistence, reliability, unbeatable knowledge, communication, negotiation and being always available. An agent doesn’t get a wage; his time is priceless and worth its weight in gold.
What’s the biggest changes across the market over the past 12 months?
Stock continues to be tight. There are more owner occupiers and less investors, as well as more strain on already low available rental properties.
What is your favourite part about being an agent?
The challenge. No day, client or sale is ever the same. Genuinely helping people sometimes (I know it sounds cliché), changing lives for the better, have an amazing experience and then clients appreciate the service. That’s a good feeling.
Local pride and being able to give back like sponsoring Kirra Boardriders, Tweed United Soccer, St Joseph’s College, Banora Point High School and others. That’s tops!

I use to DJ, as well as run bars, nightclubs and restaurants. I had my own events company. I even worked at the Ivory Tavern when I was younger.
What’s hot about the Tweed Shire property market?
The perceived better affordability compared to the Gold Coast, the normal tale, but also discovering a great lifestyle here.
How can people get a foot on the property ladder?
Start from what you can afford, don’t go straight for a house as an example and get a smaller unit. Simply get into the market fast but only within your means.

Hot property
IT’S HARD to imagine anywhere with a more spectacular view than this week’s Hot Property, a boutique penthouse on top of Duranbah Hill.
“The views are insane,” seller Justin Schmith from Schmith Estate Agents says. 3/2 Hill Street, Tweed Heads, is perched above the south east corner of Duranbah Beach with views that stretch from Rainbow Bay across Duranbah Beach, the Tweed River, Fingal Beach, Cook Island and all the way south to Cabarita headland.
Sprawling over two levels with spacious living rooms, three large bedrooms
with ensuites, this luxury entertainer features huge balconies and is one of only three apartments in the Point Break complex.
The view and location are unbeatable, a lazy walk to the surf of Duranbah, Rainbow Bay and Snapper Rocks with restaurants, cafes and bars at your fingertips. Check it out on Saturday, March 8, from 1pm to 1.30pm.
