specialist real estate agency

#makemyagentyouragent

Not your average real estate agency

The new generation of property experts.

People refer family and friends to Christine. They say “Let me call my agent Christine Ewin”.

They would introduce Christine as “This is My Agent Christine Ewin”

The business name stuck. The symbolism was poetic.

Authentic and down to earth. Wanting to build a brand that she would be proud of. A business born from warmth and compassion combined with straight shooter honesty.

The ideal blend of soft yet tough. 

Chris has no cloak and dagger, her transparency is compelling and she has a strong track record, this agency had to be an extension of who she is. Owners and lessors at no stage should feel
the hard sell or slickness well known in the industry.

It should be like having a chat with a friend that you can be open and honest with. Advice can be over a cuppa or a wine, end with a hug and you should feel heard. That you have someone that is your ally, that you know is in your corner and to help you through the
transition.

When opening My agent, Chris needed to duplicate what she knew was the foundation of success.

She attracted well respected employees that have the same unwavering sense of right and wrong.

This handpicked team created the change of branding.

After 3 years, Christine wanted her name off the front door and to celebrate the girls that created a strong, successful group of women

The business name became “My Agent Team”

Reputation is everything and Chris has sought to build a brand that is recognised for its purity in character. No over inflated self-serving marketing. Instead clever advertising targeted to the right buyers or tenants for the property.

No overpricing the home to win your business and then start pushing the owner to drop their price. Instead solid advice based on market conditions and being able to look at comparisons together.

No breaching privacy. Disclosure is the key.

Transparency is the future. Honesty being the new black.

Christine Ewin – Managing Director

Real estate chose me.

I had never owned a home, attended an open house or knew what the market was doing. I was thrown into sales when I said “yes” to a job offer in 2001 and hoped I would like it.

In my first year I won International Best New Talent for the LJ Hooker franchise and a trip to San Francisco to attend training on a global level.

I was considered a unicorn by my peers, they said I had an X factor that no one could duplicate. A change of franchise and business strategy and next I am a key note speaker at an Australian real estate conference for a franchise that I had been crowned their number 1 sales person. They wanted to understand how I became so successful. It’s a bit embarrassing to think I had no formula but that I am a hugger, I like humans and I love being part of solving people’s real estate issues.

Clients like me; because I am me. Sometimes too honest. Sometimes a little too cheeky. But I am always authentic, ethical and have built my personal brand by not being guarded or having an over inflated sense of who I am.

“My Agent” was born from an overwhelming desire to build a business, working with like minded people. A team that are compassionate, honest and real.

No room for show ponies or commission hounds willing to trade their truth for dollars.

The company has to reflect my values, my ethics and be an extension of who I am.

Make My Agent your agent.

Megan Goucher – Licensed Real Estate Agent

Megan Goucher had the X factor that is difficult to find in real estate agents. She is tenacious, fearless and driven with a warm, ethical disposition.

That combination was always going to create trust.

You want an agent that is incredibly organised with great time management and an eye for detail to ensure the boxes are ticked for your marketing and invested in the process.

But there needs to be a magnetic personality, someone that immediately captures an audience that can work an open house or an auction crowd with warmth and optimism.

I loved that about Megan.

She is thoughtful, with rock solid values and a people pleaser.
She never wants to disappoint clients, always reliable and accessible.

These are the traits that you look for and seldom find in one package. Her swift success, repeat business and referral base was instant. She is now one of the most highly regarded agents in the area by her clients and peers.

Malua Bay is her home town and she became the market leader in the suburb within 12 months. Selling in excess of $30 million dollars worth of real estate from a standing start she is quite the unicorn.

As a trusted senior agent for My Agent Team,
As the team grows I am blessed to provide others with opportunity to learn from her. Her transparency, generosity and grounded nature will provide her with a long career in real estate. And I hope it will always under our umbrella.

Peggy has a magnetism. A confidence in her ability that creates instant trust.
Combine her tenacity with a competent eye for detail, her marketing standards, systems and procedures are hard to replicate.

During an illustrious career of winning multiple awards, being recognised in the top 1.5% of Australian agents; the desire to be part of something bigger was paramount.
The culture of the full female company and surrounding herself with likeminded women was the drawcard for Peggys next chapter.

To work with women of equal success and similar professionalism was the keystone for elevating her career.
Peggy and I were ships passing in the night, timelines never corresponding and have been competing for 15 years.
