With four decades of experience between them, our new Central Coast team is a force to be reckoned with. Agents Tracy Stein, Bev Barendse and Paula Taylor have launched this week with The Agency and their joint operation reaches from Davistown all the way through to Terrigal.
“We are privileged to have agents of Tracy Stein, Bev Barendse and Paula Taylor’s calibre join the team in this incredibly important market,” Thomas McGlynn, The Agency’s National Head of Sales, says. “As a business, we have seen a huge synergy between the Sydney and Central Coast property markets given the value for money the area offers, along with its close proximity to Sydney.”
This all female team also includes support members Kim Johnston and Tayla Talbot, with more exciting faces to come, as growth and expansion are high on this ambitious team’s agenda.
“Growing the team is important to us and now we are with The Agency we have the flexibility to do this,” Bev Barendse explains.
“For me, it was The Agency’s tagline that really grabbed me, ‘Brands don’t sell houses, people do’, it is just so true it is all about the people. Our team is so supportive, we want to collaborate, double all our numbers and achieve work life balance together. This transparency and overall dynamic is just so refreshing.”
All three women have expressed how important their integrated working relationships are and the role it plays in their success.
“It is the respect we show one another and the way our different strengths complement one another, that is unique and powerful about our team," Paula Taylor says. "For example, Tracy’s track record and ability to run an auction campaign is amazing and strengthens my campaigns.”
Community connection and close client relationships also play a key role in this team’s approach. Each agent holds sponsorships within their local communities, supports local businesses with their gifting programs and greatly values the interpersonal connection with their clients.
“We are excited to bring this professional team of women together, our skills and experience will make the client's experience more positive,” Tracy Stein explains. “We are a team that has chosen to work together in a way that suits us and our clients.
“I focus on how I can get the best outcome for my clients, while making the journey as transparent and as stress free as I can. My relationships are built on trust, as are Bev and Paula’s client relationships.”
With Bev Barendse focusing on Terrigal and Erina, Tracy Stein on North Avoca through to Terrigal and Paula Taylor on Davistown, Green Point and Saratoga, the interest from Sydney buyers has made this patch of paradise a real property hot spot.
“There is significant interest from Sydney, as well as from surrounding suburbs with a high level of local migration, we are very excited about the potential growth ahead with The Agency,” Bev Barendse says. “We now have access not only to The Agency’s Sydney database, but their national database.
“We are one national team as the brand model is not broken up into franchise silos, this is one of The Agency’s unique attributes, which I tell my clients about in listings!”
The Agency Group is also excited about this strategic Central Coast expansion and the fact this impressive and talented female team has chosen The Agency brand.
“More and more of the successful agents are strong, independent women who have the ability to connect with clients in an emotionally intelligent way, helping them through one of the biggest transactions of their lives,” Thomas McGlynn says.
