History of Twelftree Estates - the first years by Vivienne Twelftree
So many people said to me over the years "Why not try Real Estate" As a single mum supporting three children I worried that I would never make enough to justify such a risk. However after my youngest child had finished matric, I took the gamble and as a person with substantial life experience (young at heart) phoned a friend and started out into the unknown to learn something completely different.
In my first three months (thanks to some supportive friends who put their trust in me to sell their properties) I achieved top ten status with Ray White South Australia and a few months later did it again. Completed sales training and my agents license in the first year and haven`t looked back since.
I went into real estate, because I thought this is a job you could do until your 90 and one perhaps to do from home later on. (I had no idea it would happen so soon or that it would be so successful).
TWELFTREE ESTATES was born on the 8th February 2005.
A very dear friend and real estate mentor asked me if I knew everything. I said a definite NO, I would have to learn as I go. It is impossible to know everything there is to know about real estate. It is an amazing industry NO TWO DEALS ARE EVER THE SAME.
Each time you meet new people and see new properties. Every person has a different agenda, each property has its unique qualities and require different methods of marketing and sales strategies and the job itself is so varied.
This business uses all the skills I have learned, from every job I have ever had before, in Advertising, Public Relations, Customer Service, Publicity and Promotions.
Fortunately I have always enjoyed associating with people from all walks of life, and have a strong empathy for people. Over the years I have learned to not to take it too personally, especially if you have done the very best you can. On top of that you need to have a good head for figures, understand contract law and do all the admin that goes with running a business. An enormous task to comprehend, but remember that inch by inch life`s a cinch, yard by yard it`s hard, It`s chewing a huge elephant one bite at a time.
NOW, with MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY TRANSACTED I can say without doubt it was the best move ever made.
We have had some fantastic results, created win win situations for vendors and purchasers and made some wonderful new friends. What more could a girl want? One of my friends , for whom I have now sold three prestige properties made the comment that they enjoyed working with me so much that they should keep buying new properties so that I could keep selling for them - a wonderful compliment.
Twelftree Estates has been a bit of a family affair!! My son David is the one who created and designed the rainbow logo at very short notice. He worked with me for the first 6 months while we became established and now helps out from time to time.
My nephew Andrew designed our original web site, www.twelftreeestates.com. and has recently been updated by our guru Igor. My second, third or fourth cousin (not sure which) Bruce who has worked in the industry as a conveyancer for more years than he cares to remember has been a wonderful mentor and friend throughout my real estate career.
Kate Barnett my part time book keeper and Scott McKenzie our accountant are wonderful. Michael & Jonathan who do the brochures and the guys at SmartPosts who make the signs and the many friends made in the media, at SALife, The Advertiser & Messenger Press, Independent Weekly, Adelaide Review and real estate.com.au have all made my life so much easier with their professional assistance.
Most importantly, THANK YOU to everyone who has put their trust in me to sell their properties, ITS KEEPING A LOT OF WONDERFUL PEOPLE EMPLOYED. THEREFORE KEEPING THE ECONOMY IN GOOD SHAPE, BECAUSE WE ALL LIKE SHOPPING, EATING & DRINKING!!! "I LOVE LOGIC"
We now look forward to the next chapters and exciting developments. Be Happy, Keep smiling and share your happiness with others
In 2007 we welcomed Suzanne and Ian and early 2008 are delighted that Dawn and Brian are now working with us to achieve even greater customer satisfaction and future business.
Warm regards
Viv
