Well done Brandi - featured on My Sunshine Coast..Noosa’s own media sales star Brandi Wikaira has traded newspapers for property, after almost a decade working for local titles including the former The Noosa Journal and weekender magazine and more recently Noosa Today.

Ms Wikaira said she had thought about making the change for a couple of years, but it wasn’t until she was approached by Robert James Realty principal Rob Anderson that she decided to put her thoughts into action.

“2014 was the year for change for me – it was time for a new challenge and more of an opportunity to create my dream lifestyle for myself and my boys.

“Robert James Realty is the most high profile, reputable professional real estate agency in Noosa, with 18 sales agents and now three offices in Noosaville, Tewantin and Peregian Springs.

“RJR has the formula that I’m looking for in becoming a successful sales agent in a town that I love.”

Having lived in Noosa for almost a quarter of a century, Ms Wikaira knows the area well and has some great advice for those thinking of selling in the current market.

“Make sure your home looks good and present well, but don’t over capitalise, so seek advice from a good agent first,” she said.

“Be a smart marketer and allocated about 1 per cent of your expected price in marketing and advertising.

“A good sales agent should want to open your home as well as it gets current buyers in the market through your door.”

Ms Wikaira said buyers should research their market, know what they want and don’t be afraid to put an offer on the table. “You might be surprised,” she said.
