Our Team

Janet Houlihan, B.A. - Principal

Janet has a strong sales and marketing background having also owned and managed her own business in the service industry for 8 years and in that time winning 2 Business Excellence awards for service and marketing and 7 industry awards for marketing, making her business a leader in its field.

Janet and her husband Steve have a portfolio of investment properties, and having dealt with many different agents from various real estate companies, Janet understands the importance of great customer service and good ethics. Her aim is to have very happy clients who will use her again should they decide to move later on and who will recommend her to their neighbours and friends.

Good negotiating skills, doing what she promises, keeping you informed, and having empathy for you as the vendor at this very stressful time are some of the most important qualities Janet values in an agent. Her philosophy is to treat her clients as if they are important family members or dear and valued friends.

Rather  than continually focusing on getting new listings at any cost as many of the large companies demand, Janet knows her greatest contribution to her clients is to devote 100% of her time to looking after the clients she already has. Because of this she now chooses to work only with quality clients who have been referred to her. This refreshingly unique approach to the real estate business sets her apart from all other agents.

You will find Janet will work tirelessly to get you the highest possible price within the shortest time frame so that you and your family can get on with your life satisfied in the knowledge your house sale was handled by a genuine professional. She can be contacted on ph 07 5531 1268, mob 0407 841667 or via email at: janet @ houlihanrealty.com.au
