Real estate agent <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/michael-martin/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Michael Martin</a> has just been named the new Director of Luton in Tuggeranong.The appointment comes off the back of an impressive tenure at the agency, and several record breaking sales including one <a href="https://zango.com.au/news/new-record-sales-price-gordon/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">earlier this year in Gordon</a>.Michael, who grew up in Tuggeranong, says the transition into directorship is something he has been working towards his entire career.“My first job out of school was actually an electrical apprenticeship. But while I enjoyed the theory, I wasn’t too keen on the environment and knew I needed to be in a role where I could work closely with people, which is where I excel the most. “I liked that real estate provided the opportunity to do that, without being stuck behind a desk all day. So when I got my start at LJ Hooker in Tuggeranong, I didn’t look back – and that was 7 years ago now.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_CmQGIUj.jpg" width="800">After Luton Tuggeranong bought out LJ Hooker in Tuggeranong in 2015, Michael says the mentoring and support he received to grow his career was second to none.“I had some great mentors at LJ Hooker; some who have since retired and moved interstate. But the amount of opportunity that Luton gives to its staff is exceptional. I’ve always been told the ‘O’ in Luton stands for opportunity, and they certainly back that up. I think it’s hard to find that in life – employers who make grand promises but actually follow through. That’s what Luton has done for me, and for my colleagues.”Of his new role as director alongside Luton’s founder, Richard Luton, Michael says it really is a dream come true.“One of my major goals in life was to become a director before I was 30, which I’ve done [he turns 30 later this year]. Over my career I’ve seen great directors, and I’ve seen average directors – so I knew exactly how I wanted to be and how I wanted my team to be for us to be the best office in Tuggeranong.“My goal now is to be the most highly regarded office in Canberra, and I know how to get there. It just takes time, which I have on my side.”Michael attributes his vision and passion for the job, as well as an exceptional team behind him, to his success and is looking forward to breaking more suburb records.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image_v23.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image_v2.width-800_FUepBoL.jpg" width="800">“Under new leadership, we have a very high standard when it comes to sales and property management at Luton Tuggeranong, and even though my title has changed my day to day is still very much the same.“I’m extremely passionate about the south side, and recently bought my first house in the Lanyon Valley. The market has grown exponentially, but it’s not a surprise – the properties and houses are larger and more affordable compared with other parts of Canberra, and we have great amenities and beautiful views.“I see a lot more record prices in the near future, as Tuggeranong certainly hasn’t hit its peak yet. This also means I get to see people who sell here be able to reach their life goals because they can afford it with recent sales prices – be it moving interstate or getting that holiday house on the coast.“Helping people achieve their goals is something I love most about real estate, and I’m very excited to be able to do that in the capacity of a director. We have big plans for the Tuggeranong office, and a very dynamic team who I am excited to share this journey with and help achieve their personal career goals.“They say that if you have a vision, you need to start with the end in mind. At the end of my career, I want to be remembered as a leader and a director who helped many agents well exceed their career and personal goals. My goal is to give back with the support I was given when I started.”

From the exquisite gourmet kitchen to multiple living areas and the large dining alfresco area, this executive home is perfect for the avid entertainer.Stretched out over 240 square metres of living space, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18-lansell-circuit-wanniassa-act-2903-42848/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18 Lansell Circuit</a> in Wanniassa has five good-sized bedrooms, plus a rumpus room, so there’s loads of space for everyone in the family to find their own space.Sales consultant <a href="/agents/gabbi-kalthofen/">Gabbi Kalthofen</a> from <a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/luton-tuggeranong/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Luton Properties</a> says the property boasts all the features of a luxury family home, but size is the stand-out feature.“For a modern family, it’s really important for kids to have their own space to hang out, with room for the adults to gather in another section of the home,” she said.“With the big open plan living areas that open up onto the private outdoor area, plus a separate formal lounge and rumpus room, this property really lends itself to a lot of options.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image2.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image2_4.width-800.jpg" width="800">Situated on a 630 square metre block, the home was re-built in 2015 and sales consultant Rex Purcell says it ticks all the boxes for families – a large new home in an established suburb close to schools, shops and restaurants.“A lot of people are looking for a home in a mature suburb with lots of trees,” he said.“This really is a great location, with the Erindale Shopping Centre so close, lots of good restaurants, the Tuggeranong Rugby Club, a selection of government and private schools, and a bus stop just 200 metres from the home.“This home is very much suited to a family looking to up-size to a larger house that they don’t have to do anything to.“Homes like this are very sought after in the North Tuggeranong area at the moment.”<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image4.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image4_o.width-800.jpg" width="800">Gabbi said three large skylights in the open plan family, dining and kitchen area fill the home with light throughout the day.The chef’s kitchen, she says, features an island with a 40 mm stone waterfall benchtop, the perfect place for mum, dad and the kids to gather after school and work.With a walk-in pantry, reflective backsplash and high ceilings, the kitchen is the heart of this home.The formal lounge area offers the ideal spot for a family movie night, or close the timber-framed glass door and create a quiet parents’ retreat away from the rest of the household.The master bedroom was designed to impress, featuring his and hers walk-in robes and a large ensuite, with twin vanity and showerheads.Each of the remaining four bedrooms has a built-in robe and large windows, while the rumpus or study could also be used as a sixth bedroom with a built-in robe.<img alt="Zango Website_News Articles_Hero &amp; Sub Image5.jpg" class="richtext-image full-width" height="400" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Zango_Website_News_Articles_Hero__Sub_Image5_z.width-800.jpg" width="800">Although some landscaping has been done, Rex says there is also an opportunity to build on what is already there.A wide driveway offers off-street parking, coupled with a large two-car garage with an extra storage room, space for a workbench, and internal access to the home.To arrange a private inspection of <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/18-lansell-circuit-wanniassa-act-2903-42848/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">18 Lansell Circuit</a> in Wanniassa, contact <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/gabbi-kalthofen/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Gabbi Kalthofen</a> on 0411 739 957 or <a href="https://zango.com.au/agents/rex-purcell/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rex Purcell</a> on 0411 781 863.Article was originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/expansive-entertainers-delight-in-quiet-wanniassa-loop-street/467834" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">The RiotAct.</a>

The property is located in a quiet cul-de-sac and has four-bedrooms, two-bathrooms and ample of space.<img alt="6 Merfield Place GIRALANG, ACT 2617" class="richtext-image full-width" height="530" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-05-26_at_11.36.21_am.width-800.png" width="800">According to Mr Fredericks, the “location” and “block size” have been popular selling features. The house is on a 923sqm block and moments away from local parks, schools, and about a four-minute drive to the Kaleen Shopping complex.“There is also a lot of potential with the home”, said Mr Fredericks.“It is really well presented – you can move in and don’t have to do anything to it.”<img alt="6 Merfield Place GIRALANG, ACT 2617" class="richtext-image full-width" height="531" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Screen_Shot_2021-05-26_at_11.36.39_am.width-800.png" width="800">Inside there are formal living areas that lead to the kitchen and dining room.

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.
