Helping a renter flee domestic violence

Tim Annett - Ray White Bendigo

"Amanda and her family had been on the hunt for property for a long period of time. After inspecting and applying for nearly 200 properties in the Bendigo region, I was fortunate enough to meet Amanda and her family.

We spent some time going over her story and the need for her to get away from the domestic violence situation she was in.

Amanda and her family of two adult children (one also pregnant) and two younger children had been bouncing around various hotels, and with some support from some charity groups. Eventually this was becoming more and more a financial burden on both the groups assisting and on Amanda.

I spent time with Amanda working through her application and her housing needs, to get things accurate and to enable her to be a better applicant on properties.

After a few weeks of working with Amanda and looking for the right home for her we were able to place her into a brand new home in Huntly. Amanda and her family now have a new start on life!"

I came into real estate fairly late in my work life in May 2020 in the midst of COVID. I began my real estate journey as a sales agent with a small boutique agency in Bendigo then six months later the opportunity to join Ray White was presented.

In May 2021 I joined Ray White Bendigo as a sales agent and get into selling homes. In mid 2022, my directors Rory Somerville and Brent Mason came to me with an opportunity to take my sales skills to the business development world and property management. Since then I have not looked back and love what I do every single day.

There is so much to love about the world of property management! I love spending my days working with the amazing clients I have in the Bendigo area, and giving them the opportunity to get the most out of their investment journey.

A big part of what I aim to do is educate my clients on not only the legislation behind the investment world, but how they can continue to build their portfolio and grow for the future.
