Tina believes your "home is your haven" and will ensure that your greatest asset is handled in a highly professional manner.

Robin's upbringing on a sheep station west of Stanthorpe is apparent in her love of animals and the outdoors and her refreshingly open, honest and simplistic approach to life. You will often see Robin out letterbox dropping leaflets with her faithful hound "Oakey" and several of her friends' children in tow, making this usually monotonous task a fun outing. Robin's knowledge and understanding of the Real Estate industry comes from owning her own Century 21 Agency in Milton where she sold residential properties and commercial sites in the City and throughout the Western Suburbs of Brisbane. After selling the business in 1996, Robin joined AV Jennings where she spent five years selling new homes from Display Centres in Narangba, Sinnamon Park and The Gap. In August 2001, Robin joined Realty 1 Pty Ltd as a Sales Consultant and has become part of our dedicated sales team. The feedback and ongoing referral business that Robin receives from past clients is proof that she has made buying and selling homes a pleasant experience for many people.
Colleen's experience in the advertising & marketing industry for twenty-five years adds a further dimension to the specialist services provided by Realty 1. During this period, she successfully managed a large number of campaigns for both commercial and residential property sales. This expertise makes her a vital member of the team at Realty 1. Colleen's face may be familiar to you. A resident of The Gap for more than 20 years, Colleen has bought and sold several homes in the area and as a result has substantial first hand knowledge of the suburb and the local market. Her open and friendly manner along with her 'fair-go' approach has seen Colleen gain a well-respected status within the local community. She is an enthusiastic proponent of the locale and believes that living and working in The Gap is a 'dream come true'.
Having lived in The Gap for over 14 years, Sherryl was attracted to the good name of Realty 1 and is now a valued member of the Realty 1 team. She comes to us with a diverse background including owning her own business, six years in the finance industry and a local medical practice. Her experience in the private, public and corporate sectors enables Sherryl to provide a very high level of service and satisfaction to both seller and purchaser. Her previous involvement in finance gives her strong roots and knowledge in the value aspects of real estate. Sherryl is very much a people person. She is 100% honest and committed to helping clients acheive their goals.
Nick Stankiewicz has worked for Realty 1 for 3 years & now joins the company as a registered Sales Consultant. Nick has lived in The Gap for most of his life and is also very familiar with the property market in surrounding suburbs. Particularly in Ashgrove, Paddington, Bardon, Red Hill and Ferny Grove. There are many requirements for successfully selling and Nick has extensive property and design knowledge, which he applies to local Real Estate. Nick seeks to do so by keeping in touch with market trends, identifying client needs and by keeping in touch with potential buyers and sellers. As well as working full time, Nick studies Property Valuation at Queensland University of Technology, and has completed relevant REIQ courses.
