The master bedroom features a walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom, while the other two bedrooms have built-in mirrored robes.“When it comes to the bathrooms, the combination of high-quality finishes and neutral tones also stand out,&quot; Troy says.<img alt="8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0-20220911234744823051-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0.width-800_Pr8RRXN.jpg" width="800">But the ‘wow factor’ is outside: the newly-installed Merbau timber deck.“The timber is beautiful. It’s the first thing that catches your eye as you step outside into the alfresco area,&quot; Troy says.&quot;The family room flows onto the fully covered timber deck, and it’s just perfect for family gatherings and barbecues.“The kids have the space and opportunity to play in the backyard and run around, or even have pets, while the parents can have their own zone.”<img alt="8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0-20220911234746228164-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0.width-800_dgdQeHi.jpg" width="800">The home has ducted heating and cooling, plus a 3.5-star energy rating which ensures all-year-round comfort. It also features a double garage, Colorbond fencing, well-maintained landscaping and established fruit trees.“I think what draws young families the most about this property is the proximity to Palmerston Primary School,” Troy says.“Gungahlin Town Centre is also only a five-minute drive away, offering a variety of stores and eateries.“There’s so much to like about this property, and we’ve seen a lot of interest in it so far.”<img alt="8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0-20220911234747963486-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398-image-0.width-800_daFxgq1.jpg" width="800">Number 8 Arid Place, Palmerston, goes to auction at 11am on Saturday 24 September 2022.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/8-arid-place-palmerston-act-2913-63398/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing</a>.Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/an-offering-of-peace-and-quiet-and-easy-living-in-palmerston/591382" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct</a>.

When it comes to securing record-breaking properties, real estate agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/lucia-2/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lucia Marzano</a> is miles ahead of others. Just last week, Lucia’s sold a <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-51-mainwaring-rich-circuit-palmerston-act-2913-44920/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">two-bedroom townhouse</a> in Palmerston for $625,000. This beat the previous two-bedroom townhouse record in <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/palmerston-act-2913/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Palmerston</a> by $75,000.Lucia Marzano has always had a passion for the real estate industry, starting her professional career as an eighteen-year-old at a boutique real estate agency in Canberra. What’s even more impressive is that at 23 years old, Lucia became a fully-fledged homeowner.“I was 23 years old when I purchased my first home and at the time it was very overwhelming, but it gave me an understanding of what it’s really like to be on the other end of the transaction,” she said.<img alt="Lucia Marzano" class="richtext-image full-width" height="821" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-07-29_at_12.01.51_pm.width-800.png" width="800">Lucia now works for <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/badenoch-real-estate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Badenoch Real Estate</a> and credits her successful 11-year career in real estate to a realistic mindset and dedication to clients.“I find it really interesting how differently every property is sold and the process in which it is handled,” she said. “A lot of the time my job is about relationship building along the way. We have amazing clients that we stay in touch with beyond selling.”It’s Lucia’s dedicated to her clients before, during, and after the selling process that provided her the opportunity to sell the record-breaking townhouse in Palmerston.“I sold the townhouse to the seller three years ago and I stayed in touch with them ever since,” she said. “So, when it came to selling it now they came straight to me and I was very touched.”<img alt="6/51 Mainwaring Rich Circuit PALMERSTON, ACT 2913" class="richtext-image full-width" height="801" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-07-29_at_11.59.45_am.width-800.png" width="800">The two-bedroom townhouse at <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/6-51-mainwaring-rich-circuit-palmerston-act-2913-44920/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">6/51 Mainwaring Rich Circuit in Palmerston</a> is spread across a single level and recently renovated. There is an abundance of natural light throughout and the bedrooms and incredibly spacious. Lucia said that the townhouse offered more flexibility given the two-bedrooms on offer.“We had a lot of downsizers look at it because it is single level, north-facing and with two bathrooms,” she said. “A huge selling point was that it had a large wrap around courtyard where you could have a veggie patch and entertainment area.”Lucia said she had a feeling the townhouse would leave its mark on the Palmerston area.“I was quietly confident it would be a record sale because it was just a beautiful product.”The new owner is not originally from Canberra but according to Lucia, “loves the Palmerston area”.“Palmerston has always been a hidden gem and flown under the radar,” she said. “But now it’s making its mark in the industry because it is very close to the city.”<img alt="6/51 Mainwaring Rich Circuit PALMERSTON, ACT 2913" class="richtext-image full-width" height="602" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-07-29_at_12.05.57_pm.width-800.png" width="800">According to <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/palmerston-act-2913/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Zango data</a>, Palmerston has a median sale price $649,999 and a population of 5525. A quieter part of Gungahlin, Palmerston is popular with young families and retirees who like the proximity to the city and surrounding nature reserves.There is no doubt that Lucia is going to continue breaking more records in her career. I suggest you keep Lucia in mind when you want to sell your own house - you won’t find anyone as personable, understanding, and easy to talk to.You can check out Lucia on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lucia.marzano_realestate/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a> and get in touch with her on 0435 791 119.

Local real estate agent Lucia Marzano is off to a record-breaking start

Moving from <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/harden-nsw-2587/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Country NSW</a> to the <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/city-act-2601/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bush Capital</a> as a school leaver, <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/chris-fredericks/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chris Fredericks</a> has asserted himself into Canberra’s property market and never looked back.Just four years ago, Chris started his career at <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/luton-gungahlin/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luton Properties Gungahlin</a> as a receptionist with no real estate qualifications.Now, he finds himself as a young, passionate and ambitious registered agent who is named one of Luton&#x27;s Top 10 sales agents.Chris said he is proud of his career journey so far, putting it down to the mentors he has looked up to along the way.“I am definitely proud of what I have achieved, but I can’t put it all down to myself because I have had great mentors and assistance,” he said.“My Aunt, <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/suzi-wells-1/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Suzi Wells</a>, is the General Manger of <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/mcgrath-north-canberra/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">McGrath North Canberra</a> and I really look up to her as a role model.”“<a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/nick-paine/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nick Paine</a> also gave me my start in the industry, and I had a lot of exposure working with <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/katrice-velnaar/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Katrice Velnaa</a>r.”Chris said that the guidance he received by those closest to him in the industry made for an easy transition when the time came for him to go out on his own.“The more I learned, the more I wanted to grow and start running my own business,” he said.“Just last year I was recognised as the highest business growth in the whole company.”“That was a really special achievement for me.”Putting his professional achievements aside, Chris does not forget where he was raised and how that has impacted his success.“I grew up in a small country town…and I have a lot of memories of my parents starting their own business from scratch, building it up to what it is today,” he said.“Their hard work was all I saw growing up and became second nature to me as I started building my own business.”Chris’ advice for those considering a career in real estate is simple, “stay true to who you are. Doing that will make people like you and come to you for their residential needs.”Chris is now in his second year of being a Sales Consultant at Luton and specialises in the areas of <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/amaroo-act-2914/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Amaroo</a> and <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/palmerston-act-2913/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Palmerston</a>.When asked about a memorable sale, Chris did not hesitate to tell the story behind 25 Beazley Crescent in <a href="https://zango.com.au/research/suburb/calwell-act-2905/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Calwell</a>.“I had family friends I used to go skiing with who wanted me to sell their property. After one week on the market we had 50 groups through and achieved a result well above the asking price,” he said.“The buyers were first home buyers and we so excited because it ticked all the boxes for them.”“And at the same time, my family friends were so thrilled with the experience and helping them out was really special to me.”About 17 months into being a Sales Consultant, Chris epitomises the younger generation of real estate agents who are hungry for a successful career.Reflecting on this drive for success, Chris puts it down to his love for sport and people.“I used to play a lot of competitive sport and I don’t do a lot of sitting around,” he said.“I love socialising and you will often find me with friends and with a beverage of some sort in my hand.”Chris Fredericks is certainly a name that will be cemented in the property industry for years to come.
