10 years ago, Kristen Turner and Marisa Adams embarked on a very challenging and very personal journey – the continuation of Chris Peake Real Estate. “What a journey it’s been – so many milestones, so many amazing moments, so much thanks goes out to everyone who has been by our side” they said.
Joined by a common goal – ‘to provide our community with an authentic and professional real estate service’. Kristen, Marisa and fellow Director Sarah are dynamic, hardworking and lead an exceptional real estate team at Berwick and Officer.
Marisa is a fully Licensed Estate Agent and the Officer in Effective Control. She has been with the company since its inception and brings with her nearly 30 years of real estate experience. Marisa has been the essential behind-the-scenes ingredient to a successful, ethical, and efficiently run business. Marisa also runs our rental department, and we believe we can offer all landlords a personalised service which is second to none in our area and challenge you to put us to the test!
Kristen has been selling real estate in the South-Eastern Suburbs for almost 20 years. Kristen passionately leads her dedicated sales team with many outstanding results being celebrated by both buyers and sellers.
Sarah brings an extensive knowledge and contact base to the business, having been a trusted real estate agent in the area for over 14 years. Milestones like these are a fantastic time for reflection.
