My love of property investment commenced at an early age.
After leaving Italy with my family, a suitcase and a small amount of money to start a new life in the “land of opportunity”. My parents strived through challenges and worked hard to buy their first property as shelter was the vital security they yearned for. Later, they purchased their first investment and they often spoke of why bricks and mortar would lead to a healthy retirement and a secure future.
I followed in their foot steps purchasing my first investment at 21 and built my career 28 years ago working for an agency in Sydney, then Wallsend which later developed to owning my own successful agency for 15 years. My 4 year break from my own company allowed me to consult putting in systems and procedures to improve the level of property management service in other offices and to focus on my beautiful young family, who are now well adjusted small adults who are also saving for their own bricks and mortar. I am so proud to be opening Urban Property Hub today in this beautiful country so I can support others through what I feel is the best way to invest money!
