Peter has been involved in sales in Noosa since 1978. He is the most widely recognised and well respected salesman (and principal) in Noosa and is often called upon by reporters of the industry to comment upon, or indeed forecast, likely trends.

Peter has had a love affair with Noosa since he moved here in the late 70s. He has a great list of clients who can be read about in the "Who's Who of Business", as well as famous clients in the Arts, Sports and indeed internationally recognised. He is as comfortable dealing with these people as he is a young couple looking for their first home. Indeed, everyone receives the same level of service from him. Peter is a true gentleman.

He believes in the Noosa Council's green approach to development and will strongly defend the right of the people to enjoy the beautiful town of Noosa without the threat of high rise shadowing the north facing Noosa beach. He sits on Council boards to work through local issues from both a business and personal perspective. He genuinely cares about Noosa and that love of Noosa must come through when he sells property. Together with his partner Jennifer Carr they have had the No. 1 sales office in Queensland for Richardson & Wrench since 1992 when the business began.

Jennifer Carr is one of the top real estate agents in Noosa. With fifteen years selling experience in Noosa, she holds the record for the highest sales in Noosa Sound and Hastings Street.

Jennifer approaches the business of real estate from a unique perspective. She is a great believer that the process of buying, selling and renting should be an exciting experience and wants to make it enjoyable for all. She combines her formal education (Jennifer holds a Commerce degree as well as a Masters of Business Administration) with a wealth of relevant experience and a strong people orientation.

Jennifer is always looking for ways to improve our service to customers. She enjoys the technology side of the business and is a stickler for detail. Both her parents were real estate agents - so property is well and truly in her blood. She is a keen negotiator and often finds a way to release a deadlock that seems impassable. Her customers speak extraordinarily highly of her: indeed many remain friends as well as customers. She is a great communicator and a great deal of her business now comes through referrals. She has always considered this a huge compliment.

Jennifer believes her success is really due to her love of Noosa. Of course with her education, she is able to provide historical information in easy to read graphs; income information and help buyers understand the value of depreciation and negative gearing. But - she just loves living in Noosa and understands why people want to buy here. Jennifer runs the Noosa National Park a couple of mornings every week; she swims at Little Cove beach; walks the dog beside the Noosa River and eats out in fabulous Noosa restaurants regularly. (She says that's why she does so much exercise!). She genuinely believes that Noosa is the best place in Australia to live and from an investment perspective feels it satisfies both the heart and the head.

Eric joined Richardson & Wrench in 1998 and had 10 years experience in property sales before that. Eric has a strong belief in the Noosa market backed by a sound knowledge of the available stock. Eric particularly loves dealing with residential property.

Born in 1960, the 'Year of the Rat', it is obvious this one is like the rest of the rats - hardworking! Eric knows what service means coming from hospitality management. He goes that extra mile. If you pass our office at night and the lights are on that will be Eric working back, on the phone communicating with his clients.

Known as 'the real estate chef', Eric not only has the recipe for success which is hard work and good information, but if you're lucky you may even pick up a good recipe for the kitchen.

The question is whether strong coffee in the morning and red frogs in the afternoon has anything to do with Eric's performance or whether it's because he is just a good real estate agent. Find out for youself, Eric doesn't make promises - he just delivers results. Drop him a line, he is always a happy and pleasant person to talk to.

Tim McSweeney was born in Brisbane and raised by a real estate family. Tim originally practised commercial and property law for 7 years before pursuing his real estate career of the past 15 years - the last 5 of which in Hastings Street. The longstanding Brisbane and coastal legal and real estate background has helped generate the strongest of seller and buyer relationships.

Tim lives in Sunshine Beach and feels that working in our Hastings Street office provides him with an edge to provide the highest levels of performance and service for both sellers and buyers alike. 'It is the hub from which I can generate buyer interest and from which I can best profile our seller's properties to a far broader market than our competition" Tim said. The results speak for themsleves. Tim holds the record price for a coastal property - over $7million for a Sunshine Beach beachfront home. His volume of sales last year totalled over $25million.

Tim believes: "This is the best place on earth to live, work and invest. All the things that attracted my clients to this area, also attracted me and are now my passion... the beaches, National Parks and river lifestyle.... the people are world class. It is a pleasure to be involved in the growth of this fabulous place.

Klaus has grown into one of Noosa's most successful agents for investment properties. His sales in holiday resorts like Netanya, Noosa On The Beach, Sandcastles in Hastings Street and in various complexes in Sunshine Beach, Noosa Hill and Noosaville have been considerable. Working for more than 12 years in Hastings Street has given him a wealth of experience and he understands well the concerns of rental income, depreciation, body corporate matters and so on.

His love for the cosmopolitan Hastings Street with it's European style cafes, restaurants, elegant apartment buildings and of course the beautiful Noosa Beach made his decision easy to join a Hastings Street agency back in 1995 after he owned and ran his own real estate business in Montville for 7 years. Klaus has a background in commerce. Originally from Germany, he was a programmer and computer salesman before he and his wife Roswitha decided in 1981 to move to Australia. They fell in love with the Sunshine Coast in 1987 and have called Noosa home since 1995.

"I am just writing to express my complete satisfaction in the efforts of Klaus. After discussing the intended sale of 309 Netanya, we decided to appoint Klaus. At all stages Klaus kept us informed with the progress of the campaign. Klaus was able to secure a sale within 6 weeks of the start of the campaign which we regarded as an extraordinary result! I would recommend Klaus to any potential client."

Bruce Purser, Sydney

"Many thanks to you for your time and effort given to Jenny and I when we were in Noosa and consequently purchased BELVEDERE on Noosa Hill. It was nice to deal with someone so pleasant and professional. It has been such a satisfying experience for us right through to the settlement and beyond and I will recommend your service to my friends and business partners."

Despite an exciting year selling real estate in Sydney's highly competitive Eastern suburb market, the lure of the Noosa lifestyle was too good to resist!

"I have now been given this opportunity to join R & W Noosa and I am delighted at the prospect of working within such a strong sales team, who are all driven to be at the top of their field."

"It's great to be back in Noosa - and even better to have joined the most professional and respected real estate company in town.

"In terms of opportunities and a fantastic lifestyle, Noosa is simply unique."

Nic says he has gained a great deal of experience from his time in Sydney.

"It has focused my skills on providing my clients with the highest level of professional service.

"As I see it, real estate isn't just about short-term success. It's about long-term thinking and building client relations that will evolve according to changing lifestyles, family commitments and investment needs.

"I offer my clients six star service and I am 100 per cent dedicated to working alongside them to achieve the best possible results."

Given Nic's impressive sales history here in Noosa and his single-minded drive for success, it is no wonder that he lives by the creed: Maximum price with minimum fuss!

Jon was born in Sydney, growing up on the northern beaches, enjoying a lifestyle very similar to Noosa.

When Jon first visited Noosa in 1991 he didn't foresee that within three years his family would purchase a holiday unit in Hastings street to be enjoyed for many years, before relocating here permanently seven years ago. Jon, his wife Tanya and their two children live in Noosa Waters.

Working in Noosa, Jon has held a senior sales management role with a major motor vehicle dealership. However his passion for property marketing, which came from his involvement in property development and marketing throughout Sydney, made the transition into Noosa real estate a logical move.

Jon is a fully licensed real estate agent with a track record for strong negotiation skills. He understands listening to and working with his clients and their needs are paramount to a successful relationship. Jon has a fresh and enthusiastic professional approach to selling property and looks forward to working with you.
