Peter Kuhne

Past President

I have served on the REEFWA Committee for many years, including 4 years as your President. I have seen this service as my opportunity to give back to a profession that has been very good to me. I enjoyed representing you in front of the fair work commission during my time as President and feel the knowledge I gained during this period is of use to you.

I started my real estate life as a commission-only salesman and, therefore, had a particular interest in the debate that raged during this time. I encourage business owners to serve on our committee if they can do so. You will find the experience invaluable as there is no resource in your business other than your staff, and the legal framework of which you employ them is a vital part of your business. Therefore, participation in this process is of great importance to us all.

Julia Baker

Committee Member

“I have been in real estate since 1997, amassing knowledge in real estate from the ground up. During this time, I have worked in residential sales and property management, but my area of specialty and passion is management of the company and team.

With the ever changing laws that governments apply to our businesses, I feel it is important that we champion our industry bodies that support us to keep abreast and implement these changes. Being a committee member of REEFWA I am looking forward to helping our industry to adhere to the best professional standards.”
