Jen Storey – Buyers Agents
Hi, thanks for dropping by. Let’s take a minute to get to know each other, so that I can fully understand what you’re looking for, and why. It will be time well spent.
Over the last 20 years I’ve purchased many properties to establish my own impressive investment portfolio. I’ve also worked in Real Estate sales, and I come from a long line of real estate royalty, so property buying and investing is second nature to me. After qualifying as a Chartered Accountant, I worked for property power house Lend Lease, as well as Chase Bank in Sydney, and investment banks in London. Settling back in to Sydney life, I set up a Coffee Roasting business with my husband, while raising two amazing children. I’ve lived on Sydney’s North Shore for pretty much all of my life. I know the great streets, the best shops, the fine schools and parks, and of course the best cafes.
While I have sourced many investment properties, my passion is locating homes that are a good fit for my clients. I will take the time to get to know you, what Inspires your choices, and what you and your family will want over the next ten or more years.
Let me take the stress out of your next property purchase. As a professional licensed Buyer’s Agent, sourcing properties, assessing them, and negotiating is what I do full time. Please get in touch so I can get to know you, and what you’re looking for with this property purchase. Please note that I cannot take on identical briefs at the same time, and I will only work with a maximum of three clients at a time. Let’s chat over a coffee with a no obligation, free 45 minute consultation.
