Acknowledgements

Writing and publishing a book and starting a new business venture is not possible without the help of many other people and for this reason I’d like to thank Barbara Achetz for being at my office from the first day we opened. Jill Luscombe for making it possible to open my own Real Estate office a few months before I gained my license.

Paul Edwards and his team at Carrington Conveyancers, without their professional support it would have been impossible to have achieved so much in such a short time; Susan Wahhab my accountant, for encouraging me and being there whenever I needed her; Margaret Goodwin for choosing me to sell her home and spending time with me when the real estate studies became almost too much to bear; Anita, State Manager of RP Data who kept a regular eye on our Trust Accounting in the early years.

A special thank you to my son Steve Orr who assists us with property management, professional photography, brochure design, window displays, signboards and Internet management. Along with this he also operates his own successful photography and graphic design business.

A grateful thank you to Jackie Davies who came to us as a Rental Search client and stayed to become my Personal Assistant and our National Administrator.

To our faithful editor, Nancy Robinson Flannery for editing all our books; we missed her this time, but welcome editor, Robert Stephenson for his professional work on this book.

A sincere thank you to our Finance Broker, Matt Stouppos - Thru Finance.

And to all the women who read my book, “How to Ask for What You Want and GET IT!” Thank you for encouraging me with your phone calls, letters and emails to create the best business opportunity I could to help you to start your own small business.

Thank you to all the vendors and landlords who trusted AWARE Properties to sell and manage their homes; and the home-buyers, tenants and investors who used our services to secure the right properties. Without you this book could not have been written.
