Last update: 23 December 2011.

I have been involved in the Management Rights Industry for over eighteen years. During that time I have acquired a vast knowledge of this unique and highly specialised business.

My first Noosa Management Rights was purchased "Off the Plan" in 1990. Upon selling that building I moved on to buy a larger property. Six years later half of the business was sold and then continued to operate as a partnership for a further two years.

Prior to management rights, I was Australian Sales Manager for the largest yacht rigging company in Oceania. One notable sale was to Kay Cottee who was the first women to sail non stop single- handed around the world.

After selling it seemed a natural progression to combine my sales background together with my hands-on experience in management rights. I obtained a sales licence and went to work for a well known management rights broking firm. It was an obvious advantage talking to buyers from a position of actual experience in the industry; this enabled me to quickly achieve record sales within the company.

Building on this success, the company Platinum Resort Brokerage was created. Platinum offers a unique one on one service we have very high ethical standards and are selective with the properties we market. We have an excellent rapport with our clients. Our philosophy is, When we sell someone into a building we want to be able to sell them out of it at a profit!
