Christine Mount:Principal and Founder | B.Bus (Property), LREA

Backed by a Business Degree in Property (Valuations), Christine began her real estate career selling inner-city homes in Melbourne. She specialised in historic warehouse shells, which allowed buyers to design their dream abode from a blank canvas. Expanding her career to investment sales, she seized an opportunity to manage strategic property investments in Singapore. Initially overseeing the purchase of $380m in property on behalf of private equity investors in Europe and Asia and an SGX-listed fund, she was instrumental in achieving impressive capital growth. By the time she returned to Australia, she had executed over $1.7bn in transactions. Now embracing her luxe life on the Sunshine Coast, Christine is excited to offer her 30 years of industry expertise to help others do the same. She believes a property purchase goes far beyond a floorplan and a location; it’s a heart-centred feeling of authentically embracing a new community and a new way of living. Achieving this aim requires refined communication skills, with honest and open discussions throughout the process. This is especially important for expats and interstate buyers, who place full confidence in Christine to guide them through every step of the process, from research and strategy to negotiation and settlement.
