Emily Reid

DIRECTOR

With over 25 years of property experience, Emily has weathered the dynamic tides of the market, navigating the diverse challenges of property investment and development. Her journey commenced in 1996 with the acquisition of an ex-commission home in the Victorian suburb of Hampton—a strategic move based on the area being undervalued at the time and aimed at transforming the property into a luxurious abode, surpassing the value of established homes through demolition and reconstruction.

 In 2001, she seized an opportunity in Bendigo, strategically positioning herself on the cusp of a burgeoning estate to capitalise on forthcoming equity appreciation. Her portfolio expanded to encompass diverse properties, including acreage which became a Greyhound Racing and dog breeding business, in Woodend, Victoria.

 Emily's narrative unfolds as a tapestry of transformative projects, each bearing testament to her foresight, adaptability and research. From revitalising an existing home and adding two-units on a 1050m2 site in Chelsea, Victoria,  to  relocating an old weatherboard home across Victoria from Mount Eliza to Bendigo, to restoring and renovating this relocated home and other properties, as well as orchestrating the subdivision of land.

Further projects included the purchase of multiple potential development sites  in the Victorian Regional city of  Warrnambool, one of which was of a large 9450m2 site which has now become a development of a Child Care Centre and 15 Townhouses.
The tale of this site is quite adventurous as it started out as an existing small residential house which was to become a 100 Apartment and Townhouse Affordable Housing site.  This was re-designed to be a combination of 73 Apartments and Townhouses, which was supported by Senior council members and State Government but knocked back by local councillors.   This was re-designed a second time and was approved to become a combination of 35 Houses and Townhouses, but after selling the site to a Child Care Centre Provider, this site went through a third re-design which has now also been approved for a Child Care Centre and 15 Townhouses. 

 .

Recently, Emily has also been involved in group consultation on the production of Specialist Disability Accommodation.

Having completed her Cert IV in Real Estate Practice for QLD and VIC, she also has obtained her Real Estate Agent Licence.

Emily has achieved a 6.4 GPA (Grade Point Average) for her Bachelor of Building Design.  Having successfully completed Units such as "Structural Form & Analysis" (which include mathematical analysis of Building Structure Design) allows her to have high level conversations with other Building Designers and Engineers.  

Emily has also studied Horticulture at a tertiary level and has over 10 years experience in Landscaping and Garden Design.
